We welcome Pastor Mark Ostrander yesterday to Haiti. He is working on the new Love A Child offices (remodeling the old Jesus Healing Center) and the new medical staff dorm next to the Jesus Healing Center. Mark puts in many hours per day. More News! Jesse Ostrander, Kim Ostrander, and[…]
Saving Babies and Toddlers
Most of the children from our orphanage came to us with some type of malnutrition, either Kwashiorkor or Marasmus. Kwashiorkor is the worst because the baby is not getting protein, but they are full of water, so mothers think their baby is “fat,” and Haitian mothers want “fat babies.” We[…]
Word from the Mission Field
Here are two thoughts that the Holy Spirit has given me through the years. They burn within my heart every day. Faith is not something we just talk about, but faith is something we do. Love is not something we just talk about, but love is something we do! Everyone can talk it, but can we walk[…]
“God is Good!”
We found Dieubon during a Mobile Medical Clinic. He comes from a poor, poor family of six children. He has a sweet submissive mother, but his father never liked to work, and therefore, the whole family suffered. Dieubon had club feet, but through one of our close friends, Dr. Chester, and his[…]
Kenzy Update
We have just heard that the hospital will be keeping Kenzy for two more days. He has some kind of reaction, “bumps all over his body,” so they will be checking into this. Always, thanks for your prayers. Sherry
“A Poor Mother’s Miracle…”
On Saturday, I received a frantic message from Nixon, our Administrator at the Birthing Center. It said, “Help! We need money for a C-Section…the babies are coming sideways!” In the States, this would not be a problem because twins are born quite frequently in hospitals that perform C-Sections. However, since[…]
Word from the Mission Field
“He That Winneth Souls is Wise.” In many churches nowadays, some have become so commercialized they have forgotten how to win the lost to Jesus. They may think that a million-dollar church or a rock band will entice the lost to come to Jesus… but sometimes, it takes more than[…]

Here is a note from Dr. Barthelemey, head of our Jesus Healing Center. We are so thankful for this good news. Sherry “Hello Sherry and Bobby, I’ve just come to see Kenzy at the hospital, he was with Madame Rose Marie. He is doing fine and his blood count is 8[…]
“Ti Mika, Her Grandma’s Last Words”
Just look at Ti Mika’s smile!! She is holding baby Zachary in her arms to keep him quiet. Ti Mika is a sweet, happy, mischievous young girl!! When I see her smiling and laughing, it is hard to imagine that this little girl was the same little baby I once[…]
A Malnourished Baby from Peyi Pouri
Little one-year-old Roseberline is just one of the “out-patients” here at our Malnutrition Center. She is one year old and from the mountains of Peyi Pouri (a poor village high in the mountains). Since Peyi Pouri is a village with little rainfall and poor soil, they cannot grow much of[…]
