"Fish guts and seaweed… the price of disobedience." All of us have "missed the mark" sometime during our life. I don't believe there is a person alive, a Christian, who can say that they "never disobeyed the Lord." We have all done it, and as soon as we do it, we know we have messed up! The case of...
When a mother dies and leaves a child behind, the Social Affairs Department of Haiti can consider this child an "orphan." A poor father cannot take care of a baby... He will try to "give it away," or take him to Social Services, or give him to family to become a "restavek slave." When Job's...
Another warm tent story of a family (along with other families) receiving a tent in the earthquake zone. Giving out all of these tents has really touched our hearts deeply. Cannot thank everyone enough who helped with these tents. So far we've given out 1,500 tents in the Department de Nippes. Very soon 500 more...
With all four corners of the country in Haiti in "lock-down," many of the clinics have closed their doors. This could be due to gang violence all around the clinic or hospital, or it could be because people are afraid to travel on the streets because of the gangs. Some Haitians said, "When they enter...
BROKEN FOCUS: “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” 2 Peter 1:10 So many things come up in our lives that try to break our focus from what the Lord has called us to do. Some of these things may be a...
Fabiola is one of the best students in her class! But even at that, she loves to work! She is always ironing, taking care of the children, hanging up clothes, and cooking! She is just a "sweetheart!" When her mother died, her father could not take care of her and her brother. What a blessing to us! We love her and...
We all just arrived home safe here at Love A Child around 3:00 PM. As we came in today and crossed the border into Haiti, no one was on the roads. All our children were so happy!!! Thank you for your prayers. The first thing I heard was, "Dad we are almost out of diesel...
Our Malnutrition Clinic is still serving the malnourished babies and children of Haiti. In spite of having no gas and few local tap-taps or transportation, mothers will find a way to get their starving, undernourished children to us. We have the best staff and they take excellent care of the children. When the babies reach...
The Haitian people and children are kind, humble, and everyone loves to joke and laugh. But in the last year and a half, their joy has been stolen. Gangs roam the streets terrifying the young and old. If you leave in the morning, you don’t know if you will be coming home that night. There...
Sherry, Bryon, Philimond, Joker, and I, will leave early in the morning for Haiti from the Dominican Republic. We will be driving for about seven or eight hours. We can't wait to see our children. We live there with them, all 85! Just a note... I know so many of you are asking us to take a break because...
