Jackson and the nurses have been in Santo Domingo for 3 weeks now. Today they finally get what they have been patiently waiting for. Headed back to Haiti, the team is happy and ready to see everyone back at Love A Child! Bon Voyage! Jesse and Kim Ostrander
The precious Word of God, if not mixed with love, can do nothing by itself. We can pass out Gospel tracts, etc., Creole Bibles, but if these are not mixed with God's love, it will profit nothing. Here in Haiti, many people serve Voodoo. They have lost confidence in the "Church World," whom they view...
“Had it not been for the Lord…” How many times have you had the opportunity to say this…? “Had it not been for the Lord, we couldn’t have made our house payment; had it not been for the Lord, my child would have been killed; had it not been for the Lord, I would have died; had it...
Jackson just finished up with his last doctor's appointment of the day here in Santo Domingo. We got the "all clear" to go back to Haiti. Needless to say, the nurses and Jackson are excited to go home! But Jackson is not out of the woods yet. We need to all pray that he gains...
We love feeding hungry children and families! But it is such a blessing to “not only feed the poor” but to help them get started in a little business! These ladies are from the mud-hut village of Old Letant! With the help of our partners, we were able to start some ladies in a business....
“But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Matthew 6:33-34 – Are you already worried about “tomorrow?” If...
Widlene, pictured with the kids, decided that she and her “sisters” would take care of Summer Bible School for the children in our neighborhood! She had name tag lanyards for everyone, Bible games, songs and dances, arts and crafts, and a big lunch! Wow! She “roped in” several of her older brothers and sisters to...
Sweet little Rodna is growing up fast! At the age of 12, she wants to be a professional cook! She helps with the younger children, irons, sweeps, and is learning to cook! When her mother died, she was very young, and her father brought her to us, crying, because he could not care for her! There...
It is blazing hot here in Santo Domingo, but the doctor wants Jackson to be in a cool environment while on 24-hour dialysis. He is not used to the AC. He is so funny. Kim and I walked in to greet him, and he was curled up under the covers as if he were in...
In all the past years at Love A Child, we organized everything with the help of local LAC missionaries. But, this year, Widelene asked if she and the older kids could do this! She really had a great plan for everything, even “mid-afternoon meals,” games, Bible stories, everything! I always loved summer Bible School and...
