As it is said, “you will reap what you sow," and look at this morning’s bountiful harvest for the kitchens at the Children’s Home from the gardens at Love A Child village and the Agricultural Training Center (ATC). Look at these happy gardeners who are so proud of their results, reaping many eggplants, green peppers,...
"Leftovers…" Giving is a very serious thing to the Lord, and it should be to us. The amount of the gift is not the thing that is important, but God wants your best. In the Bible, Luke 21:1-4 tells the sweet story of the little widow who went to the Temple. Jesus was standing there watching. He watched as the...
It is so hard to believe that Miliana is 17 this month! She is in the 8th grade, and she is so small for her age! The first time we saw her was when we were filming for television. She was just “wandering around” the briars and thorn trees, and she was sucking on a...
Girls are girls, and Haitian girls love to look good! I just walked into one of their bedrooms and saw an entire “beauty shop” in one of the girls’ bedrooms! Here, we have Dumolia and Jovanie braiding Sarah’s hair. This is the same hairstyle that many young African American girls do in the States! The...
We are surrounded by His love. “As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.” Psalms 125: 2 The Lord is protecting you and me! We are surrounded by His love! These pictures were taken yesterday from our children’s home, where we live. The...
Well, as I told you, Franceau, one of the first four children we took in, is getting married in our Love A Child Church on February 5th. Franceau is still working on getting his house built but he will rent a small place until then. Meanwhile, we got another shocker last evening. George (Georges) came...
"We're Not An Orphanage... We Are a Family!" People have asked us, "what is your biggest job in Haiti," or "which project requires more of your time?" Our Love A Child "Children's Home," started out to be another orphanage in Haiti... We started with four orphaned children, whose fathers and mothers died. The Orphanage with...
“Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up: some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were...
It was about 13 years ago, that one of our Haitian Pastors descended down the dangerous mountain in the village of Covant, (nickname for Bel Fontaine). We have been up there many times, only by riding four-wheel drives, and then, mules! His mother had died either during, or right after, giving birth, of the "childbirth...
Here at Love A Child we have 85 children. At least 60% of these children came to us because their mothers died during or after childbirth. Many of them were malnourished; some had Kwashiorkor and some had Marasmus Malnutrition. Both of these are very serious, but as in the case of our Jasson (Jackson), Kwashiorkor is the...
