Update on Dieuferly. Dieuferly D'or is now 22. We found him while doing a Mobile Clinic in the mountains of Belle Fontaine, Haiti, (nickname, Coven). It had been a long rough ride in four-wheel-drives and then, on mules for many hours to get there. That's when we found Dieuferly and his family of nine children. He was...
Eyes have not seen! “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9 "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." 1...
Twins and triplets are more common in Haiti than in the United States. We have three sets of twins here at Love A Child! Daniel and his sister, Daniella, should have been twins… But, when their mother went to the "General Hospital" to have her babies, there had been a lot of riots and gunmen in...
You can't find it, unless you know where it is. The village of Madamn Bauje is barren and has lots of thorn bushes. It is hidden from sight from the main road. The majority of people here try to sell "something," to make a living. We have drilled for water several times but only found...
How Can We Preach the Gospel in a Voodoo Village? We first visited Despeezo years ago when we were going to do a Mobile Clinic. This village is not far from other villages where we work, Madamn Bauje, Cotin, etc. We noticed a large Voodoo house, (tonnel), with lots of drawings on it. There are...

Getting heavy-duty black school shoes for the children is a real problem here in Haiti. In the United States, kids can wear...

"And behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind Him, and touched the Hem of His garment; For she said within herself, If I may but touch His garment, I shall be made whole." Matthew 9:20-21 This woman, who had severe bleeding...
Joseph and his sister, Sarah, were both abandoned by their father when their mother died. (Half of the children from our Love A Child Orphanage came to us because their mother died and their father could not take care of them, or their father abandoned them!) They arrived at our orphanage both with malnutrition. It...
"Those Who Share Their Food Never Eat Alone…" A Haitian Creole proverb. We love to feed hungry children, but it is especially rewarding when the children are in school, getting an education. These children are from Lartigue, Haiti, under Pastor Wilson. His organization comes once a month to receive food from our Food Distribution Center. There are hundreds of children in this...
Beans are a wonderful source of protein for Haitian men, women, and children, but they are very expensive. And, due to bad soil and little rainfall, it is very difficult to grow them in Haiti or grow enough so that the price won't be high. But the price is high, and the majority of poor...
