"Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can shew all His praise?" Psalm 106: 1,2 Can you praise the Lord when you are in the valley? Can you praise the Lord when...
Yesterday, Alex and I drove over to Bahrain, Dominican Republic, to attend the wedding of our good friends, Mackenson and Stephanie. Sherry could not travel with us because she is preparing for our Mobile Clinic this week and the feeding program. Alex and I returned back around 11:00 a.m. to Love A Child today. The...
Joseph… His real name is Bebeto. I just had to change his name to Joseph! He and his sister, Sarah, were brought to us by a Haitian pastor when his mother died. (It is difficult for a poor father to care for a baby.) Joseph is quiet and thoughtful. He is always trying to help...

“In God’s Time… Not Your Time…” Do you ever notice how we try to “put God in a box,” and ask Him to do things “when we want it, and how we want it?” He never forgets our earnest prayers, but we run out of patience. The Bible says, “But when the fullness of time was...
We are so proud of all our Love A Child kids. Even though they have been raised in an orphanage, they just always felt that they were in a “big family!” We first saw Lomene when she was a little girl working for two large families. Little was known about her, but the system in...
