Nelson used to be called “Pa Bezouin Ou,” as in “I don’t need you,” or “I don’t want you!” His parents lived in a village that was mostly Voodoo, without any love. We rescued Nelson one day during a “Food Distribution.” He would never be the same. He now goes to school and is in...

Farmer John’s is a business in the Gwo Maché Mirak (Grand Miracle...
Love A Child travels to the regions beyond to provide medical relief to desperate people with nowhere else to go. We serve the elderly who have pushed their bodies to the limit to reach us, mothers who have carried their children across rugged terrain for hours seeking lifesaving care, and children who need wounds cared...
“Come! Let’s Praise the Lord!” It is true that people go to church for many reasons. I believe “God lives on the praises of His children!” Everyone worships in different ways, but I “kinda” think that God is closest to us when we love and praise Him with all our heart.

It is great...
In the middle of all the chaos, gangs, kidnappings, economic collapse, and political unrest, we are planning for the future. We welcome Pastor Mark Ostrander to Haiti. He and his Haitian construction guys (the dream team) have been building our future housing for mission teams. We have not been able to bring mission teams in...
THE HARVEST IS RIPE! “Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.” Luke 10:2 Is the Lord calling you today? The harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few. Are you...
Stephano came from parents who didn’t take care of him. His father abandoned him when he was born, and his mother had mental problems. Stephano is generally a Dominican name, so his parents might have both come from the Dominican Republic or both. Regardless, he was brought to us by the Department of Social Services....
I remember when our Love A Child land was donated to us (almost 100 acres); it was dry and dusty, had cacti everywhere, and you could hardly even walk on the land because there were thorns everywhere. Look what the Lord has done! When you add water and know how to compost, miracles happen. Our...
