We are so blessed that our Love A Child children and workers put together some Disaster Relief Buckets for those mothers who suffered and lost so much when the recent floods came. There are still many items, such as tents, blankets, etc., and much more that will be given. When our older Love A Child...
Giving birth in Haiti can be very dangerous unless there is a professional midwife there, and many times, it might be too late for the mother or baby. Years ago, I saw a mother give birth to a baby, on a dirt floor, in a mud hut! The mother had begun to bleed very heavily,...
“… Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” (Isaiah 6: 8) Isaiah obeyed the calling of the Lord, as he went and proclaimed his Word! God spoke to Moses out of the flame, “… the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.”...
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...
