Yesterday evening, after we left Job at the hospital, we went to our Love A Child apartment to see Jackson. His two nurses stay with him. He is now on dialysis 12 hours per night. (He used to be on it for eight hours a night.) A special thank you to Jesse, Philemond, Kita, and...
When she was a baby, her parents had left on a "Haitian boat" headed for the States. The boat capsized, and they drowned. The baby was cared for by her aunt. She also had a sister, Bianca, and a brother, Raphael, but her aunt had no way to continue to feed and care for them....
There is no greater thing than to see a life changed “forever.” My best, most unforgettable story was of Joel, the witch doctor we won to the Lord in Old Letant. I know that I have told his story before, but I can still hear him say, “That old Joel that you knew before, is gone! You...
JOB IS DOING GREAT! Late this afternoon, Sherry and I went by to visit Job in the Santo Domingo hospital. Job was smiling and doing very well! Job had a knee operation, and he has long legs. Wow! Jesse and the Love A Child nurse, Kita, have been with Job since early this morning. Afterwards,...
I never thought Noah would live… I know I have shared his story recently, but seeing him in his school uniform is such a miracle for me to see! You see when Noah was a baby, his mother (or relative) abandoned him in the bushes near our front gate. It was dark and our guys...
We have just crossed the Haitian-Dominican border on foot and met our driver on the Dominican side! Looking forward to seeing Jackson and Job late this afternoon.

Today, one of our Love A Child children, Job, will be receiving another operation in the Dominican Republic. You may recall that Job had gotten a serious infection in his lower leg, and we could not get him through the gangs to a hospital here in Haiti.. so we took him to the Dominican Republic....
God will restore the years the cankerworm hath eaten! “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.” Joel 2:25 I really feel within my heart that this scripture is for several of you today. The Word of the...
She is one of our sweetest older girls. She is always smiling, and “loves Poppie Bobby.” Her mother had been working for us years ago, and Fabienne always came to work with her. But, we had to let her mother go. She asked if Fabienne could stay with us and go to school, and we...
This morning, here at Fond Parisien, we could feel the tension and fear in the air. We always have a morning meeting at 6:30 am with our main workers... they are all concerned about Haiti. Haitians are a people who "laugh at almost everything." But not now. We see worried faces everywhere. I had to...
