"Out of the mouth of the lion…" Someone once asked, "Were there lions in Bible days?" Yes! Of course!!! There are scriptures and stories, but the best one that we all know is Daniel "in" the den of lions! This, of course, is hard for non-believers to think about how a man could survive "being thrown into a den of...
About 15 years ago, Bobby and I got a phone call from our Haitian Director, Nelio Barthelemy. He said that we would need to take in another baby. Most of our children have come to us due to the fact that their mothers died during childbirth or immediately after. So I asked him, “Where is...
We welcome Pastor Mark Ostrander back again to Haiti. He will be working with our Haitian construction workers (the dream team) remodeling the old Jesus Healing Center for our Love A Child offices.

All I Want for Christmas is... We just wanted to bring everyone up to date on "Little Samuel." (We call him Little Samuel because we have "two Samuels" at our Love A Child Children's Home.) This Little Samuel is four and "smart as a whip!" He is in Pre-school but makes very good grades. He...
It was not long ago that we were filming a Love A Child program in the village of Chambrun… Chambrun is a village of 90% Voodoo. I know that there have been people who say "this isn't so," but it is. From the moment you walk into the village, you see all kinds of "voodoo"...
"But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand." -Isaiah 64:8 Oh Lord I pray this day, mold us and shape us, not our will but your will be done. Missionary Bobby Burnette
