Love A Child welcomes Dave and Maxine Balsbaugh, along with their “helpers” Megan, Allison, Hannah, Clara and Eliana. They will be here for one month while Dave teaches us more about agriculture. Maybe the Lord will lead them to stay longer. (Smile) This family is adorable! Sherry

Tomorrow, I especially have many praises for the Lord. Bobby’s birthday is June 10^th and God has definitely “kept him alive” according to Psalm 41:1-3 –  “The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive…” In 1996, he was diagnosed with melanoma cancer and told that he had six months to one year to live, but God is a God who keeps His Word! We are all thankful that God has “kept him alive.” He’s not getting older, he’s getting better! Sherry

Carlos has been conducting a great youth outreach to many Dominican and Haitian children of the poor during this week. The youth and children saw a Christian film, received gifts and the “good news of God’s love!” It was a great blessing and many local churches were involved in this outreach! Thank you partners! Bobby and Sherry

Over the past week, Carlos had a wonderful Youth Outreach program distributing food and other items. We thank Feed My Starving Children for donating this food and we thank World Vision for donating the clothing. A special thanks goes to Townley Engineering for donating nuts, candy and toys. A Christian film was presented to the young children and youth attending the program. Carlos also shared Gospel tracts with each family. Great job Carlos! Thank you to our partners! Blessings, Sherry

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” Matthew 22:37-39 – Oh God, we love you with all our soul today. Oh God, encourage us all to help and bless the poor who are our neighbors. We must love our neighbor as much as we love ourselves. Please ponder upon these words today. Bobby

A Haitian Creole Proverb says that those who share their food never eat alone. It means that when we share our food with the hungry, God will always make sure there is enough food for our family and us. These little children are under the care of Chuck Martindale at a mission in Northwest Haiti. When you share your food with us, we share our food with them. God bless you all. Sherry

Today, Chris and Cassandra Baker and their team from Victory Church in Tulsa worked very hard putting together furniture such as bunk beds, double beds, tables and chairs for thirteen unfurnished houses in Miracle Village. Special thanks to David Hammond and his friends for sponsoring furniture for thirteen houses for the poor! “Love is something you do!” Bobby

Our friend Mike, the President of Hope Seeds, and his associate David are helping us to conduct an Agricultural Training Center Seminar. Together they are teaming with Rad, from our Love A Child Fort Myers office, and Wilner, our Haitian Director of Agriculture.

Many poor people were in attendance, and hung on every word about the “seeds” in their garden and the “seeds” in their life. This is a Food for Life Project. Sherry

Never let the devil see your back. In Judges 20, we see a great battle between the children of Israel and one of their own tribe, Benjamin, who had committed evil. As the battle grew hot, the Bible says the children of Benjamin turned their backs before the children of Israel, who went on to win the battle. Ephesians 6:11 says: “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Yet, there is no covering for the back of a Christian. So never let the devil see your back. Sherry
