We all left this morning to distribute food and new clothes to two different villages. We just got back to the warehouse, and we have not delivered the food or clothes. Have you ever had one of those days when everything goes wrong, then things start going downhill from there? This has been one of those missionary days...
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17 – God pays better than any investment dividends, banks or stocks. All these investments are wise, but investing by giving to the poor, we can’t lose! Bobby
An older Love A Child donor calls our office from time to time and asks why we don't distribute condoms. We just wanted him to be comforted by telling him that the "government of Haiti" distributes them and they are being used! I took these pictures during one of our food distributions today! Sherry
Child Sponsorship is one of our most important outreaches. It's hard to believe that many of these cuties go home to mud huts and some worse than that. This is by far the best way to feed and clothe children. Again, thank you Pastor Caddell for the new clothes! Special thanks to Jesse for making...
Today, both in the morning and afternoon, Philemon and other Love A Child staff members are distributing food to several villages. Today at noon, Sherry and I, along with Kaeli, Carlos and the Balsbaugh family will be distributing new clothes throughout Miracle Village. Sorry, but I can't mention the name of all the villages for security reasons. There...
“Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.” Psalm 73:25 – All our hope is in the Lord. Who can we depend on more than Him? Today, place your faith and hope in Him. He will carry you through this situation! In Him, Bobby and...
It's hard to believe that just "one hour and forty-five minutes" by plane from Miami, our little neighbor children in Haiti are eating things made of dirt and mud. These are called, "bon bon tè," or mud cookies. It is heart wrenching. Sherry
Haiti is in a food crisis. We have never seen things so bad here in all the 23 years that we have been living in Haiti. Children are eating from garbage dumps, eating cookies made from dirt, and even being "sold" so parents can feed their other children! Today and all day tomorrow, we are doing food...
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17 – To me, that’s amazing that we could ever possibly “lend” anything to the God of this universe…the one who created us. When we give to the poor, we are “lending...
Today, our workers took the back roads and distributed food to the village of Nacou and blessed many people! After that, we gave away clothing to lots of local church ladies and school children! Again, we thank Praise Cathedral of Melbourne, Florida and Jesse Ostrander for all of his hard work to make this happen!...
