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...

“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....

Little Yonel (Lionel) is prepping to go into surgery now... Please say an extra prayer that his hand will be as good as new. Jesse and Roseline are there with him. Please read our previous post. Bobby Burnette
Yesterday, Yonel (Lionel), who is from our Orphan's Home, went through several tests to prepare for his hand surgery today. When he was a very little boy, his father got mad at him and put his hand in boiling hot water. His fingers and hand melted together. Then his father threw him in the street...
We are more than conquerors through him! “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”...
Davidson is just one out of our “three sets of twins” here at our Love A Child Children’s Home. He and his twin brother, David, were brought to us on Christmas Eve by their elderly “Grandma Noel” and another relative. (How’s that for a Christmas story in March?!) They came from one of the highest...
