Please pray. Our Love A Child box truck that was bringing a heavy load of food and dialysis solution to Haiti, just blew a tire and crashed. The truck was heading back from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, toward the Haitian border. Our driver, Philemond, a dialysis nurse, Ketty, and Jackson, were all inside...
When a Haitian father abandons his children, it can easily lead to death. The mother, having several children, cannot leave her children to "get a job." And poor Haitian mothers have little education, so "not having a job" can mean "starvation or death." Here is little Dorcelus Jefferline, age four. She seems "fat and healthy,"...
The people of Fond Bayard were desperate for medical care. Love A Child saw their need and brought a brilliant team of doctors, nurses, staff members, and their own children, to serve the poor, despondent, forgotten village. They didn’t stop there; they also sent a bus into the surrounding mountains to pick up dozens of...
Are you happy or have a broken spirit? “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Proverbs 17:22 Laughter and a merry spirit are a great shot of medicine!! I’ve learned so much from the Haitians. No matter what they are facing or going through during these tough times in Haiti, they know how to laugh...

Next stop is Dallas, Texas, and then Houston to see our daughter, Julie, graduate from medical school. Then the next day, back to the Dominican Republic to drive a few hours to Haiti, to cross the border, hopefully. Please pray for safe travels back to Haiti. Kidnapping: Please pray for our five Love A Child...
We'll almost be finished with a new complex for our Haitian workers. One of our problems is trying to provide a space for our Love A Child workers to live here at Love A Child. We have around 300 workers on the property. Thank you to the anonymous family who sponsored this project. Love is...
"Divine Peace." How can we get this when Haiti is full of evil… a pathetic world without hope? There is “no peace,” to them or anyone without the peace of the Lord. Living in Haiti for many years has taught me to “only rely on Jesus.” There are no fire departments if we should have...
Davidson is the twin brother of David. Their last name is Noel... One Christmas evening, while we were at our old “rented orphanage,” an old lady named “Madamn Noel” appeared at our gate with a baby in her arms. She was with a man who also had a baby in his arms. They had traveled...
Dear Friends, This is our daughter, Julie Burnette Martin. She spent one year in Haiti with us (before the gangs took over). She LOVES the Haitian people, and especially the children at our Orphanage. She purchased a large “life-sized” “black Santa” for Christmas! He sings and dances too! Julie thought she would sing with Santa...
