As I told you yesterday, Haitian Customs Agents confiscated our food truck. We take food to many areas of Haiti, and some areas have “very bad characters” in them! We figured that if we gave them food, they would come to our crusade when we had one there. It has been tough to give food out in this specific village… these guys are not people you could “love easily.” However, when they found out that our food truck had been confiscated by Haitian Customs Agents…wow! You’ll not believe what they did and said! Sherry
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 – Today, trust in the Lord with all your heart and he will direct and guide your path in the life you live. Bobby
The dedication of Poul Mirak is now in progress! Love A Child would like to thank Mike Welch and our friends at the USAPEEC International Poultry Development Program for making this happen. This is another Sustainability Program and the Chicken Co-op Project is a dream come true! Bobby and Sherry
Life in Haiti – you won’t believe this story! This old Mitsubishitruck is over 20 years old with many, many miles on it, and is on its last leg. This truck has broken down so many times, but it is still the main vehicle we use to carry all our food into the mountains. Two days ago, our driver was picking up food from one of our food deliveries. A Haitian Customs officer on the road stopped the truck to check what was inside. This scared the old driver and he took off without stopping. The Customs agent then shot at our truck forcing the driver to stop. They kept our driver, the truck, and the load of food. To be continued later…Sherry
Baby Elijah is still having seizures. Today, Dr. Mardy will change his medication. If this doesn’t work, he will have to go back to the hospital. Thank you for your prayers. Sherry
Tomorrow we will hold the dedication of our special Chicken Co-op Project. This project will create greatly needed jobs for hundreds of poor Haitian families. Look for more updates coming! Sherry
“Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Matthew 25:40 – It is a joy to help the poor. When we feed, provide medical care or other needs for the poor, it is just like doing it unto Jesus himself. This is a powerful Word of God. Bobby
Here we are with Sheline. She is one of our first orphans, along with her sisters Julanne and Jonise and their brother Liberty that we took in years ago. We were with Sheline, her husband Claude and their three sons today at Toys-R-Us in New York City. We had a blast! We love them dearly! Tomorrow, we go back to Haiti! Love is something you do! Bobby and Sherry
Shalken and his dad are at the clinic today. Shalken is being really brave and is trying to hang in there. This little boy really made me cry. He has a painful disease called calcinosis, which forms tumors and sores all over his body. We are thankful to our partner who has sponsored the cost of the expensive medicines and vitamins he needs so badly. We are still trying to find a better solution for his condition. Sherry
“With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 – The Lord taught me a long time ago that we should do everything possible, and let God do the impossible. Bobby
