Look who we bumped into at the Love A Child gym! It is Zachary. He was a Voodoo witch doctor but recently converted to Christ. He is exercising his faith and his body. He is happy and is clearly grateful for his new life. Please continue to pray for Zachary. Jesse and Kim Ostrander
As you, our friends, know, expanding “feeding programs for the hungry children of Haiti” has been heavy on our hearts. South Haiti has been crushed many times before by earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. This is the area where you and I, together, we have built 100 “well-built” Gabion Houses for the poor, who lost everything in...
PRAY, AND DOUBT DO WITHOUT: What we can conceive and believe, we shall receive. If we pray and doubt we'll do without. “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he...
Tropical Storm Franklin has passed. The kids wasted no time getting back outside. These boys are good soccer players and in this game, the competition was intense! Kids bring life... and let's just say, there is always a lot of "life" happening here at Love A Child. Jesse and Kim Ostrander

Update: The first Feed My Starving Children container of 272,000 meals that we are shipping from America, through the Dominican Republic, and into Haiti, will soon be at Love A Child. It is on the ocean waters now and should arrive on Sept 9th. If this one goes well, then we'll be shipping many more...
Empty Streets Usually, the Love A Child compound is bustling with activity. Today all is quiet. Everyone here was told to brace for a lot of rain from Tropical Storm Franklin. Early this morning, the skies were dark, and the rain slowly started to fall. But we have not had much since then. We thank...
Exceeding Abundantly... Have you ever asked the Lord to do something, and you find out that He had “gone the extra mile” and has given you “exceedingly abundantly” above what you asked for? When we live in an atmosphere of trusting God and believing what He said is true, you will see that God blesses...
The Love A Child storm prep crew spent the greater part of the morning getting things ready for Tropical Storm Franklin. (At least that's the story we're going with.) It seems like Kim and I spent more time driving around with these boys laughing and "hoola-hooping" than we did working. Even though these kids know...
Dear Friends and Partners, A few days ago, we told you the story of Zachary, the witch doctor, giving his heart to Jesus! God began to bless him! Now, he has a job at our Agricultural Training Center! He just started yesterday! Everyone loves him! Thank you for being part of winning this young man...
