"Jesus Healing Center Staff Housing, We're Making Progress" In the States, doctors, nurses, and staff would not sleep and eat at the hospital where they are working. But, here at Love A Child, things are different. Our doctors, nurses, and staff would have to travel one to two hours by "tap tap" in dangerous areas....
"When they walk away..." Have you ever had someone "walk away from you?" Maybe it was a close friend, a loved one, an employee, a husband, a wife, or even a child. The pain can be so great, that it is "heavier than a sack of salt." You may feel that you cannot even breathe! You are crushed....
Little Kenzy came home from the hospital today. He had to have blood transfusions because he has “sickle cell anemia” and became very weak! They tried IVs first but had to send him to Ebeneezer Hospital for blood transfusions. We want to thank everyone for your love and prayers; your “healing prayers.” God bless you,...
We welcome Pastor Mark Ostrander yesterday to Haiti. He is working on the new Love A Child offices (remodeling the old Jesus Healing Center) and the new medical staff dorm next to the Jesus Healing Center. Mark puts in many hours per day. More News! Jesse Ostrander, Kim Ostrander, and their two daughters Gracie and...

Love is not something we just talk about, but love is something we do! Everyone can talk it, but can we walk it? “For as the body...
We found Dieubon during a Mobile Medical Clinic. He comes from a poor, poor family of six children. He has a sweet submissive mother, but his father never liked to work, and therefore, the whole family suffered. Dieubon had club feet, but through one of our close friends, Dr. Chester, and his wife, Debbie, we were able...
We have just heard that the hospital will be keeping Kenzy for two more days. He has some kind of reaction, “bumps all over his body,” so they will be checking into this. Always, thanks for your prayers. Sherry
On Saturday, I received a frantic message from Nixon, our Administrator at the Birthing Center. It said, "Help! We need money for a C-Section…the babies are coming sideways!" In the States, this would not be a problem because twins are born quite frequently in hospitals that perform C-Sections. However, since we are a "Birthing Center"...
“He That Winneth Souls is Wise.” In many churches nowadays, some have become so commercialized they have forgotten how to win the lost to Jesus. They may think that a million-dollar church or a rock band will entice the lost to come to Jesus… but sometimes, it takes more than that. When I was a...
