Apostle Paul had suffered more for Christ than probably any other Christian. What “power” could have changed a man who had been “beheading Christians” to a man who considered it a blessing to die for Jesus? Apostle Paul had a “come to Jesus” meeting on the road to Damascus (Acts chapter 9). That day, his...
Sherry and I returned to Florida from Lake Arrowhead, California, on the 31st. We had a wonderful and peaceful time with our family. It brought healing to our spirits. This coming week, we will be meeting with other missionary friends at a special event with those who work in Haiti in South Florida. We will also...
Early this morning, the cooks at our Haitian orphanage started cooking the Haitian soup called “Soup Jumou.” It is “pumpkin soup,” and as explained earlier, all Haitians want to eat this soup on New Year’s Day, even if they have to go hungry all week! This soup represents the freedom and independence of the Haitian...
January 1st represents Haitian Independence Day in Haiti. The traditional meal for New Year's morning is pumpkin soup full of vegetables, root plants, meat, and Haitian pumpkins. The Love A Child team toiled all night on the 31st of December to serve 289 prisoners in Anse a Veau pumpkin soup on New Year's Day! Hubert,...
Without a test, we can’t have a testimony! Do you have a testimony? Say, “Amen!” After Moses and the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, they had this testimony… Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord, “I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. The horse and rider hath he thrown into the sea...
Soup Joumou… This is that special soup that we told you about today. All Haitians must have this soup to start the new year off!! It represents "Haiti's Independence!" No matter if a Haitian does not have anything at Christmas, they "have to have," this pumpkin soup for New Year's Day! We made sure our...
The Haitians call this "Soup Joumou." If they have the money to buy the ingredients, they will eat it on January 1st, each year. But for those poor Haitians who have little or no money, it will be a sad day. This special soup was forbidden to the slaves during the French Colonial rule, but...
“When life gets stormy….” Luke 8:22 Storms are not fun, especially if you are in a small boat in Haiti! It happened to some missionaries and me when we were holding a Mobile Medical Clinic on La Gonâve Island. Bobby did not go because he was ministering in a crusade in the States. (This happened years ago.) For...
WISHING YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sherry and I, along with all of Love A Child, want to wish you a happy, prosperous, and peaceful new year with good health and God's blessings in 2025. Thank you for all your prayers and support in 2024. Together, we have made a great impact for Christ in Haiti. "The Lord shall preserve thy...
Sarah and her brother, Joseph, were brought to us from the mountains of Covant, Haiti. Both had Kwashiorkor Malnutrition (the same thing as Jackson, from our orphanage, had). Thankfully, they had a good doctor, and they survived. Sarah went to college two years ago to become a professional beautician and nail tech. She passed with...
