Bobby and I read a very powerful scripture during our devotion this morning. Jesus is talking about the sowers and the reapers, and he says, "...that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together…" John 4:36 - You may be sowing and we may be reaping on the mission field, but we rejoice...
We had a very busy day today. First, we went to Lastik to visit our Love A Child School. Then we went to the old village of Le Tant where we have a feeding program for their poor village children. After that we distributed food to all of their families. Our helpers included: Chris and...
We just returned from our Love A Child School in Lastik. It was another rough mountain ride up through the riverbed! We went to check on our feeding program there, and the children are so thankful for their food! Our Love A Child Board of Directors could not believe their eyes! Love is something you...
We welcome Richard Hotes and his "Dream Team" to Haiti! We are hosting the team while they are working on a wonderful project a few miles from our Love A Child Village. Carolyn, a member of the Hotes Team, recently brought a new baby to the orphanage. She put little Kevison in the hospital and...
These children are getting ready for school the evening before. With all of these girls in our orphanage, it sure takes a lot of time to braid hair! This little one is Natalie and the older one is Ada. The little guy in the "holy shirt" is Lucson! He just loves "all the girls," and...
Today is Bobby's birthday! He says he is 39 and holding! Your Facebook comments are so encouraging to Bobby. He reads them every day. We thank the Lord for another year. Sherry

We also thank our missionary Robert de Vries and many others who helped deliver the new furniture. A very special...
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 10th 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,...
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...
