The people of the village of Fond Parisien, Haiti, where Love A Child is, have been very depressed by the gangs that are blocking us in on the main road! (This is the only main road that leads to the Dominican Republic.) Gangs have "blocked us in," making everything dangerous and complicated! Dieuferly (one of...
Bobby and Sherry embark on a perilous journey to the remote village of Port Glacie, where they must cross a vast lake by boat to bring desperately needed food to the community. In this isolated village, they hear the heartbreaking stories of children whose struggles intensify as the turmoil in Haiti worsens. With gangs taking...
Apostle Paul had suffered more for Christ than probably any other Christian. What “power” could have changed a man who had been “beheading Christians” to a man who considered it a blessing to die for Jesus? Apostle Paul had a “come to Jesus” meeting on the road to Damascus (Acts chapter 9). That day, his...
Sherry and I returned to Florida from Lake Arrowhead, California, on the 31st. We had a wonderful and peaceful time with our family. It brought healing to our spirits.

Say, “Amen!” After Moses and the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, they had this testimony… Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord, “I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. The horse and rider hath he thrown into the sea...
Soup Joumou… This is that special soup that we told you about today. All Haitians must have this soup to start the new year off!! It represents "Haiti's Independence!" No matter if a Haitian does not have anything at Christmas, they "have to have," this pumpkin soup for New Year's Day! We made sure our...
The Haitians call this "Soup Joumou." If they have the money to buy the ingredients, they will eat it on January 1st, each year. But for those poor Haitians who have little or no money, it will be a sad day. This special soup was forbidden to the slaves during the French Colonial rule, but...
“When life gets stormy….” Luke 8:22 Storms are not fun, especially if you are in a small boat in Haiti!

(This happened years ago.) For...
