Little Jonas is “about ten.” We say that because when we rescued him from being a slave child, he didn’t know his birthday. We found him as a “restavek slave child,” working in a garden in the mountains. He was under the harsh care of a lady (perhaps a relative). More than likely, his parents...
This is Daniel with his twin sister Daniella. They both came to our Children's Home after their mother died during childbirth. She had given birth to triplets, but the third baby died with her. Ever since Daniel was small, he has had horrible problems with his eyes, especially his left eye. Doctors in Haiti did...
“Worth More Than Gold” I have never seen so many TV commercials to get us to buy gold! It seems they are on all day. Maybe those people don’t know “what’s more valuable than gold…” The Bible teaches us that when Joseph was wrongly thrown into prison, in a strange country, that God gave Joseph...
After Lucson’s mother died in childbirth, his father immediately brought him down from “Covant,” one of the highest mountain areas in Haiti. Lucson was always small and tiny as a rat, but smart as a whip! He makes good grades in school and knows a lot of Bible verses. He also loves basketball. He is...
We are in the throes of another busy day here in Santo Domingo, full of doctor's appointments and tests. We should finish things at 8:00 or 9:00 tonight. We make the most of our time here. The days are long but very productive. The Dominican doctors here are second to none, top-notch. They are very...
Here is Yonel, from our Children’s Home, at our Love A Child apartment in Santo Domingo. He is home from the hospital. The doctors thought his surgery would take two hours, but the operation took them five hours. They even had to take on two more assistants. Yonel has a new hand!! I just got...
What is “Tipanou?” It's a Creole word that means "just a little for us." This is what the Haitians call our Feed My Starving Children meals. They love it!! Each container contains 272,000 lifesaving meals. PTL! We have seven more containers coming in for April. Thank you FMSC and thank you to our friends who...
Love A Child is committed to serving the impoverished in Haiti regardless of the many obstacles we may face. We never lose hope; we continue to look for new ways to provide assistance and faith! Join us in Obia, Haiti, a village high up in the mountains where hundreds of mothers have no way to...
“Someone’s Watching You” My favorite missionary story while living in Haiti was the conversion of the witch doctor, Joel Estime. He was the biggest, meanest witch doctor you have ever seen. We first met him when I asked to use his hut for a small Mobile Medical Clinic. The story is long, but here’s the...
Lionel (Yonel) is out of a very long surgery. He is in pain, but is heavily medicated. When the nerve blocks wear off, he will be in more pain. The surgery was extensive. They rebuilt his hand. They separated all the fingers. He is in the recovery suite now. Hopefully, he will get some rest....
