(Please take time to view the pictures.) When I arrived there this morning, I cried. The mass number of people who were desperate for food touched our hearts. 1,000 families received enough food for two weeks. Thank you, Farmer John and Victor Marx, for the six pieces of chicken for each family. Thank you to all...
We are so proud of Lovely. We heard about this baby who had been abandoned by her father after her mother died. Lovely was a very sick baby, and we felt that we needed to take her in. She has struggled with a major disease since she was born, but God is going to heal...
Several weeks ago, the poor people of the village of Ganthier were invaded by the "gangs" of Haiti. The families grabbed their babies and children and their only cooking pot and fled to the mountains of Thoma. (Thoma is several hours in the mountains from us!!) The families had slept under trees, in school yards,...
“But He knoweth the way that I take: and when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10 It’s hard, sometimes, to go through a trial, especially when you cannot “feel His presence.” Job was a great and humble man of God and God had given him great riches and wealth....
Today, plat du jour in the prison in Anse a Veau was corn meal and bean sauce. After a nutritious meal, 273 prisoners were served freshly squeezed fruit juice to top off the meal! The Haitians often like to scrape the bottom of the pot for the "gratin," the burned corn or rice at the bottom, so...
Some kids call her “Ada,” and some call her Jessica. She and Bianca, her sister, have a brother here, Raphael. They came to us from Cape Haitian. Their aunt brought them to us, telling us that their parents had died aboard a “Haitian boat,” trying to get to the U.S. We took the three children in....
Last evening, we posted some pictures of the big “Birthday Bash Celebration” of 17 of our Love A Child children. There are too many birthdays each month for each to have their own birthday party; it is very difficult to get to a “ grocery store” that sells ice cream or even to find birthday...
“Maybe God Doesn’t Care.” Have you ever felt that way? Have you ever thought, “God is so busy He doesn’t have time for me.” Jeremiah, the great prophet, got a message from God. “Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee,...
Our "Big Birthday Bash!" Tonight, we had a “Birthday Party” at Epidor Restaurant for nine of our Haitian children! The last time I went to the States, I bought cake mix, etc., because there are no grocery stores nearby now, because of the gangs. We took all the kids from our orphanage to the restaurant...
”He Could Hold a Heavy Haitian Hoe, but Not a Piece of Chalk!” Jonas… The first time we saw Jonas, he was up in the mountains, working in the heat of the Haitian sun, in a garden. In his hands was a Haitian “wou,” a large, heavy Haitian garden hoe. He had to work in the...
