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

We welcome Love A Child Assistant Executive Director Rad Hazelip and David and Mike from Hope Seed to Haiti today. Hope Seed will be conducting classes about seed planting and many other farming skills at our new Agricultural Training Center tomorrow morning. We are helping Haitians to help themselves. Bobby

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11 – During the earthquake here in Haiti, our 21,000 square-foot orphanage shook like a piece of paper in the wind. There was not one crack when the earthquake stopped shaking. When we built the orphanage, I listened to the wise master builder (R & R Construction) who told me to spend more money on the foundation than I wanted to spend.  We spent the extra money to make the foundation stronger and we were all protected during the earthquake. Please make sure your foundation is strong and laid in Jesus Christ. You will withstand the winds, storms, earthquakes and the test of time in your life. Bobby

This is Pastor Auton, one of our Haitian mountain pastors from “the regions beyond.” He left his home at 1:00 am this morning to get to Love A Child by 11:00 am…a 10-hour trip! He and some other pastors are in need of some musical instruments such as keyboards, guitars, bass guitars, drums, mixers, and sound equipment. If you or your church are able to donate some of these things, please send them to our Love A Child office at: 12411 Commerce Lakes Dr., Fort Myers, FL 33913.

“Is not this the fast that I have chosen?” Isaiah 58:6

“Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? When thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?” Isaiah 58:7
Read Isaiah 58:6-11 today. Sherry

Hey, who is this good looking little guy holding a Bible, and wanting to preach? Yes, this is Nelson! If you recall, we found him “sitting on the ground among pigs, eating dirt, and not walking or talking” just a few months ago. Thank you to all of our partners! You have rescued another “starfish” here in Haiti! Love, Sherry

Our Dutch Volunteer Medical Team will be leaving today.  They did a great job conducting four Mobile Medical Clinics in some very tough areas. Be sure to see a new Sherry’s Journal about these clinics that will post soon. God bless this team who worked so very hard “day and night” to make this a successful week of healing the poor. Oh yes, that second picture is the Dutch Team smothering me with hugs and kisses. Sherry

Breaking News:  Love A Child will be opening a Missionary Training Center in the early summer of 2015.

“For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.” Deuteronomy 15:11 – It is a privilege to help and bless the poor. Bobby
