“God I know you love me, and I believe it will be better for me this time and they will be saving hot cookies for everyone.” In fact, she became aware of the Love A Child Birthing Center, which has been operating 24 hours a day, since she decided to follow the doctor at the center for the entire period of her pregnancy. Thanks to God, today she gave birth to her 6th child, who is a little girl that weighed 3.2 kg in the center. Despite all the suffering she took during her labor, it did not stop her from being happy. She was happy because her baby was born in a beautiful center and the services are free and have been well received. This was a poor woman, that had no idea in the world that she would ever be able to use the Love A Child Jesus Healing Center and fall into the hands of God.

The people from the mountain areas cannot be criticized for having many children. This is part of the suffering and the culture of Haiti. When a woman has a child or children and her husband leaves her, she must “find another man” who is willing to stay with her and help her find a living and feed her children. She will be expected to go to bed with him, thus getting pregnant again. When women from the mountains and far away places are not educated or have the chance to go to school or a higher level of education, they feel they are “trapped,” and have no way out. Now, it is just a means of survival to keep these children alive each day. There are no holidays to look forward to, or any family events out because every single day is the same… “exist” for today. Get enough food for “today.”

However, these mothers love their children and always do the best they can. The most wonderful thing is that these mothers, like Madamn Monjolie, will have their baby in a beautiful Birthing Center, and they will have the best of care, and afterward, a pretty recovery room and a nice meal, and new clothes for their baby, and can be “Queen for a Day.”

P.S. We are so proud of our own little Dumolia, who does a great job at the Birthing Center, on the “Sonograms!” She is still waiting for her Dominican Republic Visa so that she can go to Jamaica to an International Nursing College! Thank you for everything, our dear partners!

We love our ATC program… Teaching Haitians how to grow better crops for their families, plus sell their vegetables to help support their family. Helping Haitians to help themselves. The note below is from Wilner to me the day before yesterday. Wilner is the head of the ATC program. We just love him and all his staff.
All comes from a seed… Amazing!!

Thank you, Rad Hazelip, for being the father of this dream…

Good evening my Big Boss.

How are you ? I hope God continues to keep us healthy, because Mrs Sherry is like a 🍇 fruitful bird that connot fly to find seeds to feed, their only hope is their monther. We belive in our prayers that God will return us to Haïti to continue the mission that God has given us which is to help a people in need. We Love you :

Look at these pictures, ; Today we had a Big harvest for Children”s homes. Cucumbers, Papaya, Sweet peppers, Eggplant, Leeks .

Well, we thank the Lord that I had a “negative” Covid Test, after getting a “positive” Covid Test the day before! I’m glad I took the test at a different location because I had no symptoms.

We got to Haiti today, and as we came into the orphanage, the kids were climbing all over us, hugging and kissing us, and carrying our “very heavy suitcases” up the stairs. We had more hugs and kisses from our staff, and of course, from Sampson, our 110 lb. Rottie, who only jumps up on our bed when we come home from being gone!

We were as excited to see them as they were to see us! Nini, who cooks for our visitors, said, “The house is not happy when you are gone!” We truly have a deep love for the Haitian people and children!!! Thank all of you for your prayers.

Today marks the 7th anniversary of the dedication of the Gwo Maché Mirak, or Grand Miracle Marketplace, in Fond Parisien, Haiti. For seven years now, the Haitian people have had the nicest, cleanest, safest marketplace with a wide variety of commercial activities to support the regional economy and create a place for many secure jobs. During these seven years, the Marketplace has continued to expand and adjust its services.

In addition to the many restaurants serving local Haitian food, a bank, a Western Union office, and hundreds of small vendor shops with anything from beauty supplies, freshly grown produce, clothes, electronics, etc. It now even offers a clean, modern, and efficient “GO” fuel station that always has a line of eager customers. In the rear part of the marketplace is the expanded Abatwa or “butcher shop” where Farmer John’s-branded meats of all kinds are available, providing the highest standards for fresh meat in all of Haiti.

Those of you who have been with us since the Grand Opening seven years ago or anyone who has actually been to the Gwo Maché Mirak can testify to the tremendous enduring impact that this Development for Sustainability project is having on the poor nation of Haiti. The $1 million faith seed that Pastor Jentezen Franklin and the Kingdom Connection church provided years ago continues to provide opportunity, higher standards, open-air Christian music, and joy and hope to hundreds of Haitian people who are coming to know Jesus through this project.

As Pastor Franklin said in his Dedication Day remarks, when Jesus came riding a donkey into Jerusalem, he came “through the marketplace”! We thank Pastor Franklin for his faith and support of this project, and Mr. Bellevue and his staff who manage it and keep it operating well. And, we also want to thank our beloved friend Oriel who put all the Dedication festivities together so well and produced our great TV show for so many years. They are all an example of what can happen when people come together, showing that “Love is something that you do.”

Rad Hazelip, Assistant Executive Director
