“A Warthog or an Elephant?” My daughter, Julie, and I took a trip to Africa several years ago. Once you see the animals and how God controls them, how they care for their young, how smart they are, it will make you realize how big God is! One of the first animals we saw was...
Florence just passed 23 exams in English!! Florence came to us when she was a baby, about a year old. Her mother had died, leaving her father with no one to take care of his four children. We agreed to take them in. She attended a Love A Child school here in Haiti. But, when...
The submersible pump well here in Fond Parisien broke some time ago. It's a large well with a 10-inch pipe, pumping 1,200 gallons of water per minute. All the folks in this area depend upon the well for water, especially the children; they bring five-gallon buckets to collect the water. The farmers in the area...
"… Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me." (Isaiah 6: 8) Isaiah obeyed the calling of the Lord, as he went and proclaimed his Word! God spoke to Moses out of the flame, "… the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I."...
Even When He’s In Trouble, He’s Sweet! 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...

"What's a Mountain to an Eagle?" Are you facing something “overwhelming” in your life today? We have been through many things, too. Bobby and I have found ourselves with our backs against the wall. We have faced death. We have been “beyond broke,” with bill collectors calling and some trying to repossess our truck while...
Stanley is one of our oldest children here at Love A Child. He just turned 23 this month. Stanley came from another orphanage in Cap Haitian. (They speak a slightly different “Creole” in that area.) So, when Stanley came to us, all the children were asking his name. They began calling him “Kinam” instead of...
Today, we had our first two babies come to our new Malnutrition Center. They were “triplets,” but one baby died. They are very malnourished. We will have the full story coming soon.
