This is just one of our precious Haitian friends who has a job in the Gwo Maché Mirak. We still continue to feed the children and families here in Haiti, because, as the Creole Proverb says, "An empty sack cannot stand." (When you are hungry, you cannot stand or work.) Food is our "bridge" to reach...
Since the storm has passed by Haiti, our staff has been trying to distribute food to several villages. One bridge was knocked out and we were unable to continue our food distribution in that area. We will continue to distribute food to the villages that we can reach this week. We are praying that we...

This little princess is “Lovely Burnette.” She is so happy living at our Love A Child Orphanage with all of her brothers and sisters. Lovely likes to dress up, dance and sing. She was abandoned at about five-months-old and was found crying while sitting on a piece of cardboard on the streets of Port-au-Prince. A...
Children in the mountains of Haiti are in almost unreachable, "hard to get to" areas, and they suffer the most with hunger.

I know some of you wanted an update on the sinkhole at our house in Florida. Insurance will not cover the sinkhole. They must take the entire garage away from our house. Then they will have to dig up the cement slabs on the driveway, plus fill the hole with cement, and put the garage...
The liberal heart and the stingy heart… “The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him…” Proverbs 11:25-26 – God loves a giving, liberal heart. Even when you go to a restaurant, give 20% and bless the waitress. Leaving...
At the age of four, Jonise had malnutrition and weighed only about 26 pounds. She is now a beautiful young girl, who helps run our Love A Child accounting office, and does an excellent job. We just found out about a week ago that she is engaged. Wedding bells may be ringing in December! Sherry
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 – Today, don’t give up, be steadfast, unmovable and always working for the Lord. Don’t be discouraged, and keep moving forward doing...
Eight-year-old Widelande is just one of the "silent majority" of Haiti's children who wake up every day hungry and go to bed "hungry." Each day is filled with long walks to find water, hours of looking for pieces of wood to sell, going to the garbage dump to try to find empty plastic bottles to...
