Only God could take a little girl out of a horrible life of being a slave child, taking care of two families, and give her “life’s desire” to become a professional chef! We rescued Lomene when she was about 7 years old and brought her to our orphanage. She worked[…]
Sharing Our Food
Last Saturday we had a food distribution for over 100 missionaries and organizations. The roads between Love A Child and the airport area are full of the “Papaya Gang.” This is the gang that recently abducted the 17 missionaries and killed so many people on the road, and stole vehicles. Therefore,[…]
Word from the Mission Field
“Bogged Down.” I’ve always hated walking in deep, gooey mud, especially without boots. Years ago, when we first began working in Haiti, we would often come to the mountains during the rainy season. Our vehicles were always breaking down and many times, we ended up walking in deep, gooey mud. In those[…]
Update on Fabienne
Fabienne’s mother worked for us at our old, run-down, first orphanage. She brought her little girl, Fabienne, to work each day. A problem arose and we had to let her mother go… but she left Fabienne behind. That was good for us. Fabienne has always been a sweet, giggling “girly[…]
Food Distribution in Lierve, Nippes
These food pictures came in last evening from Lierve, Nippes, South Haiti, in one of the areas where the earthquake hit. Hubert (in the blue shirt) and the people are working hard distributing our rice, beans, and cooking oil. Some families have to eat dirt, among others, to fill their[…]
Word from the Mission Field
“Nothing Is Too Hard For God!” What a story in 1 Kings 18:19-35… The Prophet Elijah was certainly a “character,” and you wouldn’t want to make him mad! Ahab was King of Israel, and they were serving Baal, a false god. Elijah gathers the entire nation together for a battle of[…]
Update on Dieuferly and Jasson
Dieuferly and little Jasson are on their way back from Santo Domingo today. It’s about a five-hour drive. Please pray for a safe trip on the road. Jasson met with his kidney specialist and had more blood tests and other checkups. The blood tests did not turn out well at[…]
Word from the Mission Field
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, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people[…]
Update on Dieuferly
Yesterday, Jesse Ostrander took Jasson and Dieuferly across the border to the Dominican Republic for doctor’s appointments. Jasson will need to make some changes in his diet due to his kidney programs. Dieuferly had a “major” club foot surgery in the Dominican Republic about four months ago. It was a[…]
Rice for Distribution in Nippes
This note just came in from south Haiti: Our rice is being unloaded today, then our huge sacks of beans will come along with the cooking oil! We are preparing for our food distribution in south Haiti for the earthquake victims. Thank you to our friends and partners… We have purchased $42,350 worth of rice,[…]
