Today is a special day for physically challenged Haitians to fill out an application to sell goods in the Grand Miracle Market in Haiti. Jobs not only give people food for life, but they also give a person dignity. Special thanks to Villy Choute and his staff at Metro Management for doing such a GREAT job managing this Market!

Word from the Mission Field – 07-22-14
“By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.” Hebrews 11:30 – Joshua told his army to shout and the walls of Jericho will fall flat! Get ready to shout and praise the Lord today, because the walls in your life are about to come down and you will go into the city and possess the promises of God! The walls are coming down! Bobby
Sharing our food – 07-21-14
Each time a child receives a full plate of food here in Haiti, it lets us know that we are doing “what the Lord wants us to do.” God bless Pastor Harry in Northwest Haiti for his work among these poor children. We also thank our Love A Child Partners for “sharing your blessings with the poor…” Psalm 41:1-3 – Sherry
Haiti Update – 07-21-14
We welcomed Mark Ostrander to Haiti today. He will be working on the Grand Miracle Market all week. Mark has been to Haiti over 300 times now!
On another note, look at this picture that we posted to our Facebook page, and you will see a beautiful playground next to our Food Distribution Center. Thank you again Pastor Randy Landis, Life Church and Kids Around the World for that great playground equipment. Bobby and Sherry
Update on Shalken: 7-21-2014 10:00 AM
This is how Shalken looked when he was first brought to our clinic. He has a horrible and rare disease that requires special treatment. We recently ran out of his special medications and vitamins, as they cannot be purchased in Haiti. The photo on the left is what he looks like after being on these treatments for several months. We are so thankful that our partners have sponsored Shalken’s medical needs, and that all of his medications and vitamins will arrive in Haiti today. We are so thankful as there is no other hope for this little boy, and his father has been praying for years for a solution! This brings me to tears. Sherry

This is how we grow healthy kids in Haiti! (smile) These darlings are under the care of our friend Barbara Walker in Ruskin Village to whom we give food each month. This food is donated to us from Feed My Starving Children. Then, our Love A Child partners help sponsor the cost of shipping, Haitian customs, and the transportation in Haiti to Love A Child. When we work together, we grow healthy children in Haiti! Blessings, Sherry

On January 20, 1961 President Kennedy said in his famous speech: “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” This thought came into my heart. Ask not what God can do for you; ask what you can do for God. Have a blessed Sunday. Bobby

This is Durkje, our Love A Child missionary, holding Elijah. She sent a note with the photo that reads, “I think if Elijah has the operation he will be okay. We don’t know when the team of doctors will be here. God put this little one in our hands and He has a plan for Elijah. We are doing everything possible to help him.” Love, Durkje
