Beautiful, graceful Rebecca is 12 years old and in 8th grade. It is just a miracle of God that she ended up here in our Children's Home. Our Director, Nelio Barthelemy, had heard about a little girl that was about to be sold as a "restavek slave child." She was only three. Nothing is known...
Due to economic conditions, the gangs that have taken over Haiti, the killing of Haiti's President, and many other problems, Haiti's poor are in a downward spiral. We have been living and working here since the '70s but moved to Haiti in 1991. Things were not as bad, then but now, children are dying every...
“And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both with the Lord, and also with men.” 1 Samuel 2:26 May the Lord give us favor both with the Lord and men. The Lord moves through men to bless you and me. “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” Luke 2:52...
Mikael… We always know where to find him! When Madamn Marie Julien died of childbirth fever, her husband, Antoine was very poor and could not care for a newborn baby, but he did his best. However, he was now malnourished, so they brought him to our orphanage. Mikael is now 16 and in 11th grade...
WE ARE PRAYING FOR UKRAINE We are all shocked and saddened about the war in Ukraine. Russia wants to crush and destroy this peaceful country.

"Listen with Your Heart." "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season ye shall reap, if ye faint not." Galatians 6:9 When you live in Haiti, there is always "need," staring you in the face. If we walk from the Orphanage, to the Birthing Center, or to the Clinic, there will be someone...
We first met Dieubon when his mother brought him to one of our Mobile Clinics. He had "club-feet." There was no help for him in Haiti at that time, so our good friend, Dr. Chester, found a surgeon and hospital for him in the states. He and his wife took Dieubon with them and kept...
“What is Faith?” Taps and Knocks! There have been so many books written about “faith,” and sometimes, in those books, they make it so complicated that you cannot understand. I am a person that likes “simple, uncomplicated things.” I am reading Acts 3, where Peter and John went into the Temple at the hour of...
In Haiti, nothing is easy... and finding the right doctor is sometimes harder than you think. This is Daniel, the twin of Daniella... both are now 17. Daniel has always been the sickly, weak, and frail baby. We didn't think he would live. Actually, there were supposed to be "triplets" instead of twins, but the...
A "Ginger Tea" Almost Kills a Mother and Baby... Each day, many mothers take the risk of coming to our Love A Child Birthing Center despite the gangs, the oppression, the lack of money... and despite their "fear."
