Here is another village area named Nan Gaya receiving their monthly Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) meals. These meals are life and death to them.

They depend upon our meals each month. Other villages will be receiving their meals today, too. Without you, we could not do this. We are very thankful for FMSC meals… These meals are donated to LAC. We pay the cost of transportation for each container — around $10,000 per 40-foot container of 272,000 meals. Thank you to everyone who helps finically each month for the shipping.

Love is something you do!

Our food distribution team took Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) meals to a village area named “Nakou.”

Today is Friday and our food distribution team will be going to seven more villages. The families are praising the Lord!

Thank you for all your help, prayers, and financial support.

By faith, moving forward!

“Stop Grumbling… Be Content”

My father and mother raised five of us kids in the hills of Pennsylvania. My father fixed televisions for a living, but we were very, very poor. Finally, he applied and got a job in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Everyone was so excited to move. My dad told us we would be “within a stone’s throw” of the beach, and that there were beautiful trees all over the place. We arrived at Merritt Island, Florida. We were not a stone’s throw from Cocoa Beach, but we got to go once. Our house was in a moderate new housing development with sand and dirt for the yards. My mother missed her small church in Pennsylvania. She missed the trees and her friends. She was so, so miserable…

One day, as she was “complaining” and praying to the Lord, she turned to Philippians 4:11… “for I have learned, in whatsoever ‘state’ I am, therewith to be content.” That did it for her. She was taking this as if God said, “You moved to another state, be content and I will bless you.” From then on, she was a happy woman because God wanted her to be “content!” We go through many trials in our life and things don’t always go our way, but God wants us to be content in any situation because He is always there with us.

God bless your day, today. Be content! God has everything under control!

It was a hot, sweaty day when an older man was passing through a village and heard the cry of a baby… faintly. There was no one around and all he could see was a Haitian “outhouse.” He followed that faint whimpering cry to the inside of a filthy-smelling outhouse. There, he looked down and saw a baby, struggling to live on top of the sewage. He went to the people of the village, got a rope and bucket, and pulled the baby up. The women of the village washed the baby and sent him to the nearest hospital. They, in turn, called one of our workers, who called us and said, “Can we take in a baby who was thrown away in an outhouse?” We said, “Yes.”

We brought him home and named him “Moses.” Moses is now 17 and in 9th Grade. He is very intelligent and makes good grades in school. At our Children’s Home, he helps with yard care, washing cars and trucks, and doing anything else he is told to do. He loves to play soccer… He is a good kid, but he needs to learn some lessons about “where God brought him from.” So, he will be going to a special “summer school” when school is out so that he can learn the Creole Proverb… “You won’t know where you are going, until you know where you came from…” Some of our other kids have had to learn this lesson too. I’m sure Moses will pass his “life lesson.” (smile)

We know God has a plan for Moses. Thank you for your love and prayers.

This week Bobby and Sherry travel to Blanket, Haiti. Your heart will break as you see these children and women busting rocks all day, every day, trying to survive. A girl joined her mother in the riverbed when she was ten, tired of being hungry and knowing her mother needed help. A blind, widowed, elderly woman has no one but the women she used to work with to care for her. The food crisis, violence, and others’ greed have made their lives desperate, but Love A Child is there, on your behalf, providing God, hope, and food to these people.

We want to invite viewers around the world to tune in on Friday to Daystar Television Network at 6:30 p.m. (ET) and then throughout the week. You can also watch us on DirecTV, DISH Network, Christian Television Network, The Word Network, NRB, and many more local television stations. Check out our full schedule for the best way for you to tune in. You can also watch the program online through our Vimeo and YouTube channels or on our website www.loveachild.com under the “Media” tab.

Together we are changing lives!

“Perfect love casts out fear…”

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea…” (Psalm 46:1-2)

This seems like some of the worst trouble anyone can find themselves in. And the scripture says, “though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea…” Sounds like an earthquake to me.

The main part of this scripture is, “Therefore will NOT we FEAR.” It is not the mountains or the earthquake that can kill you, but it is the “fear,” because the Bible says in 1 John 4:18, “fear hath torment.” There are so many “fears” in the world. As soon as we give into fear, we can feel our heartbeat change and our blood pressure go up as our body is trying to calm itself down. But the real problem is “fear.” In fact, you can say it is a “spirit of fear.” I have felt it, you have felt it… But what can we do about it? Remember that “perfect love [God’s love for us] casteth out fear…” (1 John 4:18)

Once you fall in love with Jesus, His love for you will cast out fear. Keep your eyes on Jesus, or fear will come upon you and your “boat will sink!” Say, “I refuse to fear!” Now, tell Jesus how much you love Him!
