"Encourage Yourself in the Lord!" “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9 "But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.” 1 Samuel 30:6 David encouraged himself in the Lord, he went and defeated the...
Our five Love A Child employees are still hostages in the hands of the kidnappers. Please pray, as we all walk through this valley. We are trusting the Lord for their release.

This story is amazing!! Jean Richard was part of a handicapped orphanage that we took in after the 2010 earthquake. That earthquake destroyed so many lives, homes, and orphanages. After a while, the people who ran the handicapped orphanage found help. But we loved Jean Richard and we asked if we could keep him! God...

This weekend our Love A Child team in the south of Haiti received an urgent call from the Haitian government asking for help to feed starving prisoners in the prison of Anse-a-Veau. Because of the gangs blocking the roads, there have been no deliveries of food to the south, but thank God our storehouse was...
Life in Haiti is brutal, and every member of the family must work to survive. Your heart will break as you watch children walk barefoot across rocky terrain looking for something to eat, while other children crush a handful of food, meant to feed themselves and their siblings for the day, in a pilon.

“Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow…” Joel 3:13 There are many ways we “preach the Gospel” in Haiti. Most of the ways, we do not use words, but we use “love!” Love speaks louder than all of our words!...
