Philip had just won a eunuch to the Lord and baptized him. “And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus…” Acts 8:39-40 – There are Bible scholars that say he was transported by the Spirit 34 miles away to preach the Gospel. Bobby

This is Colin: 10-26-2014 12:00 PM
This is Colin. Ordinarily, you would not be amazed at a little boy with a plate full of food, but this little boy has a story. When he lived with his father, stepmother and nine children, he tried to eat the “last handful” of food left in a pot. His father grabbed his hand and held it in a hot charcoal fire until the flesh fell off. Now, he lives in our Love A Child Orphanage and eats a big plate of food each day! Sherry

Dimelia is coming home
This is Dimelia. She has been with us since she was about four-years-old. She was severely burned when she was young and could not move her neck or lift her arms.

Jean Edwouard breaks his leg: 10-24-2014 5:00 PM
Jean Edwouard, one of the children here at our Love A Child Orphanage, broke his leg today while he was playing soccer. After he got to the hospital here in Haiti, they discovered his break is closer to his knee and he will need surgery. He would like to have your prayers for his recovery. About seven years ago, we rescued Jean Edwouard from life as a restavec (slave child). Sherry
