Our older children have been through floods, famines, hurricanes, and some, through an earthquake. They know that in order to help the victims, they must first find out how many families and print “tickets” to give to the people. (Otherwise, there would be fighting, grabbing, pushing, etc.) Even though we are not there right now,...
“The Divine Favor of God…” We teach the children here at Love A Child that “God’s divine favor” is worth more than gold! Divine favor can bring you out of a mess! Divine favor can “lift you up above your circumstances” when you need it the most. The Bible tells us the story of Daniel and the three Hebrew...
That’s what one mother named her child who was born with double clubfoot... “Dieu-bon!” We first met little Dieubon and his mother during a Mobile Clinic in Haiti. (Dr. Chester was with us; he was a dear friend of ours and has since passed away.) Dr. Chester Falterman found a doctor who would do the...
While facing constant hunger, the Haitian poor are facing worse problems. The storm and heavy rains that raged throughout Haiti brought sweeping flood waters down through the rocky river bed in Haiti and into many other areas. The huge force of the water took out homes and carried away their few skinny animals, livestock, and...
“We Can’t Sit Still!” Certainly, there is a time to “be still and know that He is God!” But, there’s a time to move and expand, even in the midst of things all around us… Have you ever noticed that God’s people “can’t sit still!” We are always moving, going, doing, and blessing others. Just...
Emergency: Today was supposed to be a happy day for Bobby and me. We were on our way to attend our twin grandsons’ high school graduation. (We had never been able to attend their birthday all these years, due to our heavy load and responsibilities in Haiti.) We were there in the Dominican Republic this...
There is a story about the “prodigal son,” that Jesus told. There were two brothers… one left with his inheritance and wasted his life. But, after a while, he repented, and his father welcomed him with open arms. When you raise 85 children in an orphanage, you can almost expect that a few will want...
Today, we loaded up Roselyne with an Uber account here in the Dominican Republic. We met at a motel and helped her set it up. She has to attend a French college here in the D.R. for about a month in order to pass her French test. She has already applied to a medical college...
“Lord, What do You Want Me to Do?” How many times have we not taken the time to “ask the Lord His advice and His guidance?” When Bobby and I were first married and I would try to give him a little “wife” advice, he would say, “Honey, I know what I’m doing…” Through the...
Roselyne… We first saw Roselyne in one of our Mobile Medical Clinics, in the mountains. She was a young girl with badly crooked legs. We thought we could get some type of therapy for her, so we brought her back with us. Her parents were very poor, and since she needed therapy, we brought her...
