The poor in Haiti are miserable, especially with the conditions of the country here. They cannot travel far to sell their wares, because there is no money for local transportation. They worry every day about the gangs in the streets, roadblocks, burning tires, and guns going off. But, there's one thing they don't have to...
So many people saw their homes crumble to the ground in the August earthquake. Delon Aven is just one of the many heartbreaking stories we’ve heard during our relief efforts. It’s been over two months since the destruction occurred, but we need your support now more than ever as we try to help these precious...
Thank you for your prayers. Casimi made it with the last part of the tents, tarps, and earthquake emergency supplies. He arrived late yesterday afternoon, after hours. He jumped out of our semi, jumped on the forklift, and unloaded everything fast. Casimi said, “I have to go and try to pick up our containers of...
THE POOR: “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17 The Lord pays a better interest than the bank! When we give and help the poor, it touches the very heart of God. In Psalm 41:1-3, the Lord has given us...
Our Love A Child girls “are something else!” They can scrub floors, cook, mop, take care of kids, and do anything… they work hard! When given a job, you don’t have to worry about “will they do it?” This is the same for our “Bianca.” Just look at her with her little headband after working,...
Here is Mark Ostrander's crew building for the future! John Eddie is the head of our Haitian crew, and we are building rooms to house future mission teams to come into Haiti. Due to all the gangs, riots, kidnapping, etc., we have not been able to any have teams in now for two years or...
Haiti is a country with many problems, especially the lack of security. There are so many gangs on the streets, and even when there are not gangs, there are roadblocks! Yesterday, as some of our workers were coming in, they had rocks being thrown, fire at roadblocks, etc. With the instability, the danger is everywhere......
The Love A Child team was the first and only team on the ground in several areas after Haiti’s earthquake. Your heart will be moved as you witness the destruction and hear from some survivors. A woman who lost her leg in the 2010 earthquake, and her livelihood in this one, holds on to gratitude...
"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...
