The “Other Bobby...” His last name is Burnett (in Haiti, they drop the “e”). His father died before he was born, and his mother died soon after. His grandfather did not want him. He instructed his teenage sister to find an orphanage for him. When we took Bobby in, he was sick. Now he's in...
Where could these poor mothers go to take their children and their family members if it were not for this wonderful “Jesus Healing Center Clinic!” These pictures were taken late in the morning, and already many patients had been seen, but there were still many waiting. Some travel by foot, tap-tap, moto, or even donkey!...
Live for the future, not the past… “… forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14 Some people live only in the past. I met a person the other day, and her whole conversation was about all of...
Kenzy loves soccer, puzzles, and dominos! His “jobs” at the orphanage include picking up the trash, working in the garden, and helping feed the donkeys!

The battle may be great, but God is greater! Today, a multitude may be against us, but...
Little baby Joshua was also abandoned in front of our security gate, here at Love A Child. At about eleven months old, he was severely malnourished. He could not sit or crawl. From our Jesus Healing Center, he was referred to a children’s hospital. He was released after two weeks. Joshua is extremely smart in...
Maybe you can remember when your parents took you for a “Sunday Afternoon Drive?” Most kids in the States don’t do this now because they are on their phones! But “Poppie Bobby,” tries to take them for a ride around the property on Sunday afternoon. He will also take them by the big wall that...
Little Christie, who looks about nine, has “a heavy load,” on her shoulders. You may think, “the heavy load,” is the huge five-gallon bucket full of water, but Christie’s load is much heavier than that. It’s hard to believe, but Christie and her five siblings were abandoned by “both parents,” who left for the Dominican...
BE FAITHFUL IN THE SMALL THINGS: READ MATTHEW 25: 14-30 Mother Teresa once said, “God has not called me to be successful. He has called me to be faithful”. Everyone wants to do great things and be noticed, but the Lord wants us to learn to be faithful first. Each day, God does big and small...
