What an experience of a lifetime to be at the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, the Last Great Race in Alaska with my son. When you hear all the dogs barking, I can’t explain the excitement you feel. They want to run the whole 1,040 miles to Nome, Alaska, and you want to run with[…]
When Bobby and I first began our ministry in Haiti, over 23 years ago, we never fed the poor. We preached to them about the “love of God.” One day, a lady in our crusade held up a starving baby and said, “If God is so good, why is my[…]
“And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.” Matthew 18:5 — The Lord spoke to us in 1985 and said to form a Christian Humanitarian organization and call it “Love A Child.” I don’t think the Lord could have given us a better name. After all, as Bobby[…]

“And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand…” Jeremiah 18:4 and[…]
Bobby and our son Jonathan are in Alaska. There is not much snow in their area of Alaska yet, but the dogs are ready to race! We are so happy to get to spend even a few days with our children. Bobby will return to Haiti on Tuesday! Sherry
