People have helped us all our lives, so it's important for us to help others in need. Today has been a privilege as well as a heartbreak for us, the Love A Child family, to help these people who have been hit very hard by the disaster.
“How is it to be raised in an orphanage? That’s the question I get asked all the time. You don’t have a family?… So, what does it feel like to be alone in the world? The truth is that I grew up surrounded by people who love me, people who make me feel special and...
"Everyone with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand, held a weapon… For the builders, everyone, had his sword guided by his side, and so builded.” - Nehemiah 4:17-18 Three non-Jewish Governors, Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem tried everything to keep Nehemiah and God’s people from rebuilding the wall. They...
We are so blessed that our Love A Child children and workers put together some Disaster Relief Buckets for those mothers who suffered and lost so much when the recent floods came. There are still many items, such as tents, blankets, etc., and much more that will be given. When our older Love A Child...
Giving birth in Haiti can be very dangerous unless there is a professional midwife there, and many times, it might be too late for the mother or baby. Years ago, I saw a mother give birth to a baby, on a dirt floor, in a mud hut! The mother had begun to bleed very heavily,...
“… Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” (Isaiah 6: 8) Isaiah obeyed the calling of the Lord, as he went and proclaimed his Word! God spoke to Moses out of the flame, “… the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.”...
Our older children have been through floods, famines, hurricanes, and some, through an earthquake. They know that in order to help the victims, they must first find out how many families and print “tickets” to give to the people. (Otherwise, there would be fighting, grabbing, pushing, etc.) Even though we are not there right now,...
“The Divine Favor of God…” We teach the children here at Love A Child that “God’s divine favor” is worth more than gold! Divine favor can bring you out of a mess! Divine favor can “lift you up above your circumstances” when you need it the most. The Bible tells us the story of Daniel and the three Hebrew...
That’s what one mother named her child who was born with double clubfoot... “Dieu-bon!” We first met little Dieubon and his mother during a Mobile Clinic in Haiti. (Dr. Chester was with us; he was a dear friend of ours and has since passed away.) Dr. Chester Falterman found a doctor who would do the...
While facing constant hunger, the Haitian poor are facing worse problems. The storm and heavy rains that raged throughout Haiti brought sweeping flood waters down through the rocky river bed in Haiti and into many other areas.
