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...
RESTORATION IS COMING! “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God…” Joel 2:25-26 This is burning within my heart. The Lord is getting ready to restore what...
Haitian children are precious. They are loving, courteous, respectful, and thankful. The other day, they sat down and wrote letters to us telling us what they are thankful for and how much they loved us. Of course, they were thankful for their food, their education, their “big family,” and much more. Bobby and I remember...
I've seen on social media and other posts that Love A Child gave $1,000,000 for the release of our four children and for a total of 23 employees, including one who died. This is not true; total fake news. No private person or party paid any money. It is illegal for a nonprofit to give...
God will restore! “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied…” Joel 2:25-26 God is about to restore what the devil has taken from you. I felt so strong within my spirit to send...
Ti Mikael’s mother died when he was very young. His father could not care for him. And in Haiti, a child can be considered an orphan when their mother dies, because most poor fathers cannot care for them. Mikael was in “very poor” health and suffering from malnutrition when he was brought to us. Now,...
All the Agricultural Training Center staff were very glad to return to their gardens after the long Christmas / New Year holiday, and now they are busy at work in the sweet potato fields, getting ready to harvest. Sweet potatoes are a vegetable we often use in “intercropping” or planting together with another plant to...
