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.) It seems like Kim and I spent more time driving around with these boys laughing and "hoola-hooping" than we did working. Even though these kids know...
Dear Friends and Partners, A few days ago, we told you the story of Zachary, the witch doctor, giving his heart to Jesus! God began to bless him! 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!”...
Our older children give testimony to what God has done in their life. This is Widelene. She is a devout Christian and is thankful for what the Lord has done in her life. She and her younger sister, Esther, have been with us since Widelene was about four or five. She wants to be a...
BE NOT AFRAID “Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” 2 Chronicles 20:15 Sometimes our problems seem to be bigger than we can handle... even overwhelmed with more than one big problem... maybe a multitude of problems. The Lord is saying today, don’t be afraid...
In the area of Roch Dife (burning rock), 176 famished small children walked in the rain and mud to eat the one meal that some had waited days for. We are grateful for God to allow us the privilege of seeking out the poorest of the poor, and providing nutritious meals to them. Our hearts...
