We named our backhoe after "Madamn Gerri!" She has since gone on to be with the Lord. She was a dear friend and partner. We miss her. Twenty-five years ago, she bought this backhoe for us, "used." We shipped it down here to Haiti. It has been a "workhorse!" It helped build the Orphans' Home,...
“Asking God for a Hard Thing” Have you ever asked God for “a hard thing?” In 2 Kings 2:9-10, the Prophet Elijah, the Tishbite, had done miraculous miracles! He had a faithful servant called “Elisha.” Elisha, the servant, was a simple man. His job was to wait on and serve God’s prophet. He must have also...
Esther… She is the sister of Widlene. She is now getting ready to sign up for Aristide’s College. She wants to be a dental assistant and clean teeth. Esther was an infant in the arms of her mother when they came to our gate in the mountains of Haiti. Their mother was anemic, and all...
"The Earth Never Gets Tired of My Feet..." Just a few days ago, we sent some of our older “Love A Child” kids to this village, far from us. We heard about this village, and found out it was over a three-hour ride “straight up the mountains!” We sent them to find the “poorest villages”...

I can remember the first time we saw Miliana. We were getting ready to film one of our “Love A Child” TV programs. I looked across a “muddy ditch” filled with water, and I saw a little girl chewing on a ribbon on her sweater... and felt I should take a look at her. I...

Wilner and his team teach many others at our Agricultural Training Center (ATC) school how to grow vegetables to produce more. This is a Sustainability project, teaching others how...
“Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? […] Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” (Matthew 25:37-40) These are powerful words from our Lord. When we feed the hungry or give...
I guess that name was the best one we could think of! After all, he had been dropped into the outhouse when his mother went there to “dispose of him!” She must have had too many mouths to feed. When she left, the infant continued crying. An older man heard the “baby cry,” and quickly,...
INCLUDING 71 FAMILIES WITH BABIES AND THE ELDERLY.
