Well, as I told you, Franceau, one of the first four children we took in, is getting married in our Love A Child Church on February 5th. Franceau is still working on getting his house built but he will rent a small place until then. Meanwhile, we got another shocker[…]
Our Biggest Job in Haiti
“We’re Not An Orphanage… We Are a Family!” People have asked us, “what is your biggest job in Haiti,” or “which project requires more of your time?” Our Love A Child “Children’s Home,” started out to be another orphanage in Haiti… We started with four orphaned children, whose fathers and[…]
Word from the Mission Field
“Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up: some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the[…]
Fritzner… “He’s Here, but He’s Not Here!!!”
It was about 13 years ago, that one of our Haitian Pastors descended down the dangerous mountain in the village of Covant, (nickname for Bel Fontaine). We have been up there many times, only by riding four-wheel drives, and then, mules! His mother had died either during, or right after,[…]

Update on Djonsly
I have never met two people with more Faith in God than Madamn Alcin and her son Djonsly. At the age of 13, he was brought to our Love A Child Clinic by his mother, with his eyeball hanging out of its socket. She had gone to many doctors, but[…]

Word from the Mission Field
The God of “More Than Enough To Get By!” I marvel at the greatness of the God that we serve… From the Old Testament to the New Testament, He would always do “more than enough.” When Moses led the children of Israel (estimated millions) through the desert for 40 years,[…]
Love is in the Air!
Franceau and his siblings were the second set of four children that we took in when we first started our old Orphanage. The mother of Franceau and his siblings had died, leaving a father who could not care for four children. Franceau always had a gift as an electrician, but[…]
