“For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.” Isaiah 25:4 The Haitian poor must depend on the Lord for everything… when their...
Today is Widlene’s Birthday! She is 20 years old and we love her so much, and are so proud of her! She is now attending University INUKA here in Haiti and is taking Management. She is a great “organizer” and always dependable! She is a wonderful help to me at the Love A Child Children’s...
When we first moved to Haiti, we spent lots of time, visiting mothers with children in poor villages. Those poor villages had no clinic, no doctor, or nurse, or even a small clinic. When mothers had their babies, they were born on the ground, on a dirt floor... with maybe a dirty sheet. The local...
“God’s Big Hands.” Nelson is a little boy we rescued from the village of Old Letant. His parents were evil. When he was only about two, his parents would sit him on the ground in the heat of the sun. He could not walk or talk. He would sit on the ground on his knees, no...
We have many outreaches for the poor children of Haiti... Christian schools, feeding programs in the mountains, and much more.

Our sweet Dumolia has been such a blessing to us! She came to us when she was under four; she may have been younger. Her father brought her to us because she had fallen into a large cooking pot of hot water. It completely melted her; she could not even turn her neck or lift...
Haiti's children are so vulnerable to malnutrition. They often get marasmus malnutrition "from hardly eating anything at all." But kwashiorkor malnutrition is more severe. To the mother, the baby looks "fat," but this is deceiving. The baby is eating but not eating the right kinds of food. Therefore, the baby is just "bones and water."...

“When life gets stormy….” Luke 8:22 Storms are not fun, especially if you are in a small boat in Haiti! It happened to some missionaries and me when we were holding a Mobile Medical Clinic on La Gonâve Island. Bobby did not go because he was ministering in a crusade in the States. (This happened years...
