The first time I saw Mackenson, we were in a Mobile Medical Clinic far away in the mountains. An elderly farmer came in, carrying a toddler; when I looked at his swollen face, belly, and entire body, I knew he had malnutrition, and he had “the worst kind.” I asked his father what he was...
In Haiti, there are different levels of poverty, and God has given Love A Child the honor of finding the most destitute and hurting to bring them hope and deliverance, both in the natural and the spiritual. Hidden in the quiet hills of the south in an area called “in the Bamboo” is the Leonard...
“How big is God?” Sometimes we pray about a great need, and then, we doubt that God can do it! We all know that God is great, and we say that He can do anything. But then we begin to think, and before long, we have convinced ourselves that either “God can’t do it” or...
Wilguens (Jacque) is now 11 and very intelligent for his age. He is different than the other boys. He is “quiet” and “thinks things through!” Wilguens and sister, Fabiola, were both brought to our orphanage by their father. When Wilguens’ mother died, it was difficult for their father to care for them. He took the...

We first met Jameson with his mother, when she took a small fishing boat to bring her young son to our clinic. He had “horrible skin problems” due to the dust and living in a mud hut! But his eyes were the worst! He had horrible skin allergies from the dust in his village and...
Today, all our Love A Child children will be in school on our property! (This is a blessing because Haiti is not safe now.) Our children can go to our “Love A Child School” right there on our property. They get up in the morning, clean their rooms, do their chores, eat breakfast, pray, and...
“A Time to Repent.” In the 60’s there was a great evangelist by the name of A.A. Allen. Bobby and I had heard about him and his great tent revivals!
