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....
Wilguens (Jacque) is now 11 years old and in the 6th grade. When his mother died, his stepfather could not take care of him, nor his sister, Fabienne. There were many times when his stepfather left him and his sister alone while he was working. Both children became malnourished. That’s when the Department of Social...
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...

Yesterday, we met with the surgeons that are going to operate on Lionel (Yonel). We spent yesterday bouncing around Santo Domingo,...
“God of the Mountains and God of the Valleys” I have always loved this song… “He’s God of the Mountains; He’s God of the Valleys.” God is God! Our circumstances do not change Him or who He his!! There is a story in 1 Kings 20, beginning with verse 23… Israel had just won a...
Hannah Jean Jules was born in the mountains of Haiti, far from our Children’s Home. Her mother died either during or immediately after she was born. She had poor health, which left her with malnutrition. Hannah loves singing and music! She is quiet, kind, and loves everyone! She is always “looking for work” to do!...
We left Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, early this morning with Philemond, Pastor Mark, Sherry, and me. We are now crossing the border from the Dominican Republic into Haiti! We live about 15 miles past the border going into Haiti. There is a huge difference between the Dominican Republic and Haiti! Unbelievable! Almost home, and we...
