Children in Haiti do what it takes to survive. They often work alongside their parents, helping their family in any way they can, while trying to ignore the pains of hunger. Parents must watch on in agony, unable to improve the situation they are living through. Love A Child travels to these remote villages delivering...
THE EVIL TWINS: Criticism and jealousy are twins. When you see one, you always see the other. Moses and Aaron were constantly criticized by the Israelites they were leading out of Egypt. One time they were almost stoned by them. (Exodus 17:4) Joshua was criticized by his own army at times. David was criticized by his own brethren, army, and many kings. Joseph was criticized by...
This morning at 7:00 AM, Sherry and I saw Jackson, Lionel, Job, two certified nurses in dialysis, and Philemond (our driver) off to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, for their medical checkups. Jesse Ostrander will be flying in to take care of all their doctor appointments. All are doing well. Thank you for your prayers. Love...
I have given you these scriptures before. This morning they are burning within my heart. The Word says: “Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver...
For the past number of years, Haiti, like so many other areas of our planet, has been undergoing “desertification,” degrading the landscape, reducing the capacity of the land to produce food, and drying up water sources. This makes many areas of Haiti very difficult for the people to live in. Reforestation is the long-term countermeasure...
In II Chronicles Chapter 32, we read about a Godly king named Hezekiah. He had brought all his people back to serving the Lord! Everyone was happy and things could not have been better… "until” the king of Assyria, Sennacherib, decided to come out to battle against him and the people of God. This evil...
George was named after Hurricane “Georges” years ago. We knew “about him,” because the pharmacy where I used to buy medicine in Port-au-Prince, had a lady working there who knew George’s mother. She was married to a man who mistreated her, and she did not want this last baby. I agreed to take the child....
Sorry, I thought I had posted this post when we arrived home at our Orphan's Home yesterday evening. I found out that our internet was not working, so I’m resending our post [from yesterday] again... See below. We left this morning at 3:30 AM... flew into Santo Domingo, then drove over to Haiti -- crossing...
The struggles of this world can sometimes be overwhelming, but the Lord has made great promises to us. We must always remember that “this is not our home.” This place is only “temporary” until the Lord calls us “home.” A touching story is told of an old missionary who had given his life to the mission field. He had spent...
We are on the plane now, and Sherry is reading a book about Haiti’s corruption called “Zombie Files.” It is about the “Zombie Hunters Union,” "a group of Security Specialists who worked together in a hostile environment against criminal gangs in Haiti." Zombies are real... the walking dead. Zombies are in Haiti today! After she...
