“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7) I know that most people have heard that four of our older kids were kidnapped by the gangs several years ago, along with one of our Love A Child nurses. Our three...
When you look at Kenzy, you see “sweetness and kindness.” Kenzy has been such an easy child to raise. We met Kenzy when his mother would bring him to our clinic. She had to take a Haitian boat from where she lived to the village of “Old Letant.” Then she would pay for a boat...
Jackson is comfortable on the sofa here in Santo Domingo. He just came off his daily 12-hour dialysis cycle. Can you imagine being on a machine for 12 hours a day? In a few minutes, he will be reconnected so that another bag of dialysis solution can be put into his abdomen. This one will...

We moved to Haiti on July 1st, 1991. We NEVER thought of opening an orphanage. Who in the world would want to do that? We made the long trip to L’Artibonite, a village we worked in. The people told us of a grandma who had four kids to raise, and she was dying. When I...
Pray for Haiti. Many hospitals and clinics have closed in Haiti due to the gangs. We are thankful our Love A Child Jesus Healing Center Clinic is open and caring for the poor. These pictures were just taken. Thank you, Hand of Hope - Joyce Meyer Ministries, for your support of our clinic. Love is...
