Whether we like it or not, we all have enemies. Enemies usually come from the “spirit of jealousy,” but there are other reasons people hate us. But, we cannot think about our enemies “all day long.” We must concentrate on praising the Lord and leaving our enemies to God. King David had many enemies in...
13-year Fabiola is still as sweet now, as ever. Her chores are cleaning her room, helping in the kitchen, and keeping the closets “shiny!” She came to us when she and her brother, Wilguens, were very young. Her mother had died and her father could not keep them. After the two children were given to...
At 8:00 a.m., Philemond, our driver (yellow shirt), already had the Love A Child van loaded up and ready to go! He will pick up two of our nurses, who take care of Jackson’s dialysis each night and they will also be taking care of Job (tall boy), who will be seeing a specialist about...
“Facing the Hard Stuff.” We all have to do it. Not everything will go easy every day, no matter how we pray, or give, or go or do. This is real life. We all love to do the nice things… visit the sick, take food to the hungry, comfort or pray for someone. But each and...
Just look at this beautiful young teen! Rebecca is in 9th grade now. We have had her since she was about three. Our Haitian Director, Nelio, rescued her from being “given to an older man!” She would have ended up in a horrible situation! She helps clean her room, iron clothes, does other housework, and...
We moved to Haiti over 32 years ago. We really wanted the Lord to show us what He wanted us to do. Then, late one afternoon, when Bobby was in Port-au-Prince, it was late in the afternoon, and it began to rain. A little Haitian girl was in the rain, crying. In her hand were...
“Keep on Knocking.” I love the story of the judge and the little widow woman in the Bible… Luke 18:1-8 The story is of a poor widow woman, who needed the judge to avenge her of her adversary. We do not know the details but, Jesus told this story because it was important. In the...
Jean Richard first came to us right after the 2010 earthquake that hit Haiti. The orphanage where he was staying had been destroyed and those in charge had to send the children anywhere they could. He has been with us since then. He is crippled in his legs but he has a brilliant mind. He...
It doesn’t matter if it’s three children or three hundred; hungry stomachs are hungry stomachs. God led the Love A Child team in the south of Haiti to a very remote area, deep in the interior of the department of Nippes, to find 8-year-old Joudeline Cancoul, 5-year-old Stescie Cancoul, and 2-year-old Enel Cancoul. Having gone...
The rising gang violence in Croix-des-Bouquets forced people to flee their homes; many ended up in this tiny village of Belvi near the border of the Dominican Republic. Here, they are safe from danger but lack food, water, and proper shelter. Your heart will break as you hear from mothers and children, all of whom...
