Children in the mountains of Haiti always go to church on Sunday but when Monday morning comes, they are up early, dressed for school, with their uniform on. Going to a Love A Child school not only means a Christian education, but it also means “that one full meal, each day!” Now that there are gangs...
"The Spirit of Fear." We all know that God allowed Satan to send a very harsh trial into the life of Job... This great, and humble man, "had no Bible." He had no church and actually he had nothing but a belief in the God he served and loved. But, a great trial came along,...
She was a baby who had been abandoned on the street by her father. The story is that one of her parents had a health problem that would mean certain death. A relative, who sold trinkets, told us about the baby girl. We decided to take her in. Although she has some fragile health issues,...
Bobby and I wanted to share with you some things, not from the heart of a missionary, because you already know where we have come from and what we have been through here in Haiti, but from "the heart of a mother and father," because all these children God has given us are "ours,"...we are a...
No Place to Hide! I cannot even imagine trying to hide from God! Jonah thought he could run away from God, and God sent a great whale to swallow him up! Jonah was stubborn and would not do what God wanted him to do. What does God have to do to get our attention? He...
This short, funny, and happy little guy is our Dieubon. (Dieubon means “God is good!”) We first met Dieubon when his mother brought him to one of our Mobile Medical Clinics. He suffered horrible clubfoot on both sides. His mother was poor with a family of five children and could never afford double clubfoot surgery....
Thursday, January 12th was the 13th anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Haiti that ravaged the country, leaving 300,000 dead and many more injured, displaced, and with little hope. Since then, each January 12th Haitians commemorate the devastation and loss by praying and honoring loved ones lost. This year we also held a Memorial service...
Don’t pass by on the other side… I love the story in the Bible that speaks of loving your neighbor and the Good Samaritan. You know the story… “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And...
I took this picture of Pastor Mark this morning here at Love A Child ordering materials for the Love A Child team housing project from Home Depot. He is a tireless worker. Without him, we would probably only have 10 percent finished by now. He designs, plans, and works from daylight to dark. Yet he...
The people of Haiti live vastly different lives than we do. There is no such thing as a stable job; they pray for work each and every day. They do not have food for tomorrow, or later in the week. They only eat when they are able to find work, but unfortunately, even then there...
