Tropical Storm Franklin has passed. The kids wasted no time getting back outside. These boys are good soccer players and in this game, the competition was intense! Kids bring life... and let's just say, there is always a lot of "life" happening here at Love A Child. Jesse and Kim Ostrander
He was four months old when Pastor Justin brought him down to us from one of the highest mountain villages in Haiti! His mother had died during childbirth. Fritzner wants to be a doctor. He is now 14 and in 7th grade. He is a good worker, loves soccer, and loves to play bass guitar....
Update: The first Feed My Starving Children container of 272,000 meals that we are shipping from America, through the Dominican Republic, and into Haiti, will soon be at Love A Child. It is on the ocean waters now and should arrive on Sept 9th. If this one goes well, then we'll be shipping many more...
Empty Streets Usually, the Love A Child compound is bustling with activity. Today all is quiet. Everyone here was told to brace for a lot of rain from Tropical Storm Franklin. Early this morning, the skies were dark, and the rain slowly started to fall. But we have not had much since then. We thank...
Exceeding Abundantly... Have you ever asked the Lord to do something, and you find out that He had “gone the extra mile” and has given you “exceedingly abundantly” above what you asked for? When we live in an atmosphere of trusting God and believing what He said is true, you will see that God blesses...
The Love A Child storm prep crew spent the greater part of the morning getting things ready for Tropical Storm Franklin. (At least that's the story we're going with.)

Now, he has a job at our Agricultural Training Center! He just started yesterday! Everyone loves him! Thank you for being part of winning this young man...
𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐲, 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐩! “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9 Apostle Paul said these words, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 Today, no matter...
A child who is crippled in Haiti will never survive unless “God wraps divine favor all around him!” I guess that’s what happened to (Jean) Richard! In 2010, an earthquake hit Haiti so violently that it killed and crippled thousands. Orphanages were destroyed. Immediately after the earthquake, we were contacted by a handicapped orphanage because...
Attention: Jesse Ostrander and his wife Kim, who work with Love A Child, have been driving to Haiti from the Dominican Republic in a terrible storm! The "Tropical Depression" is headed toward Haiti! The wind and rain are so bad that they can only drive 30 mph! It is a very bad “Tropical Depression Storm!”...
