Since the many years that Bobby and I have lived here in Haiti, we have never seen the children eat “soup joumou” (pumpkin soup) for breakfast! This soup is so important for the Haitians and their heritage, because back in the days of the French occupation and slavery, only the rich could afford to eat...
"Forgetting Those Things Which Are Behind." “Happy New Year!” God has carried us through another year. We've had to face bad things, and we have been blessed to face "good things." Many of us have been through great trials this past year. Bobby and I went through a great trial when five of our employees...

“He’s Always on Time.” In talking about the Lord, someone once told me, “He may not come when you want Him to, but He’s always on time!” How true that is! Our time means nothing to the God of the universe. We may be praying, “Hurry up God!” But God has His own “time.” I love...
Lovely was abandoned by her parents when she was about five months old. It is believed that her mother died, and her father did not want the responsibility of caring for her. A lady who sold “tourist items,” named “Madamn Cheap Cheap,” brought her to us. We took her in. Lovely has some serious health...
This sweet Love A Child worker is Mr. Chenet. He lives in Miracle Village but has a job working for Love A Child, sweeping the pavers and keeping them clean! Before the 2010 earthquake, he was a witch doctor! After the earthquake had struck, many families, like his, lived in tents. Late one night, he...
"God is Always There." Years ago, we had brought a team in from the States to do a Mobile Clinic. We had gone to Savann Pit, to the mountains. When we were packing up and getting ready to go, the old man (who was like the papa of the area), Mr. Occius, called out to...
