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...
The medical crew here in the Dominican Republic is active again today. I am here with three strong boys: Lionel (Yonel), Jackson, and Daniel. We also have four Love A Child nurses with us. 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...
The combination of famine and living with a large family in a makeshift hut is a combination of suffering beyond words. Today, Hubert and the Love A Child team found the Flourant family in Kalibo, far in the interior of south Haiti, and provided rice, beans, and oil to sustain them for the next three...
THE LORD IS NIGH UNTO YOU: “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” Psalm 34:18 The Lord sees your heart today and what you are going through. Sometimes when we feel the Lord is furthest away... is when He is the...
This is the team that Philemond, our driver, brought in from Haiti, across the border, and into the Dominican Republic. This group is all “medical.” We have four nurses that will be trained in dialysis: Madamn Verdynee, Madamn Polinice, Madamn Charles, and Roseline (from our Love A Child Children’s Home). You can also see Philemond...
This is how we get all those “hairdos” done, for school. Sandraline is braiding Miliana’s hair for school. When you raise children together in an orphanage, they are a “family!” Sandraline’s mother died soon after she was born, and her father, Fritzner, repaired bicycles to pay a lady to take care of her. But soon,...
Pictured is Philemond (our number one driver), three of our Love A Child nurses, and three of our Love A Child children, going to the DR for urgent medical needs. Jackson, for a dialysis check-up, Yonel for hand surgery (his father had held his hand in boiling water because he was angry at him, then...
