I remember the day we first met Nazalie’s mother. She had come across the lake in a tiny boat, holding her tiny baby in her arms. Nazalie (Rachael) was always “sickly,” she would say. There were no doctors in the small village, which was made mostly of palm leaves. As was to be expected, her...
It is a dark, gloomy day here. Normally, by this time of morning, the hot Haitian sun is lighting up all of Love A Child. But today, tropical storm Melissa is churning not too far from here. The weather might be bad, but we are operational! The clinic is still ministering to the sick. Our...

This morning, at one of our Love A Child schools here on the compound, I witnessed the teachers organizing about 200 three and four-year-old children. The staff organized the group into seven straight lines with about 30 little ones in each line. They were gathering to honor their country. They were lined up like little...

Last week a fire ripped through one of our storage depots that housed our lawn equipment. We are making quick repairs. The roof decking and metal is being completely replaced. The men are now working on the inside installing replacement doors and restoring the walls. We also purchased two little push mowers and three weed...
The “Emperor has No Clothes.” I was reading my Bible, Revelation 3:17, and it says, “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing, and knowest thou that thou art wretched, and miserable, and blind, and naked.” It reminded me of the children’s story… “The Emperor has No Clothes.”...
Noah… Just look at what a sweet, strong, young boy Noah is! He was abandoned in front of our gate here in Fond Parisien, Haiti! Noah had been “bitten” and badly mistreated. He had “marks all over his body!!” He would have died! Today, he is a strong, sweet, intelligent little boy who wants to...
The sun is blazing, and it is very hot, but it is a beautiful Sunday morning here in Haiti. People are walking from miles around to come to the Love A Child Church here on campus. They walk here on long dusty roads and somehow show up to the worship service with beautifully shined shoes...
