Cooking Up Something Special!

Ada is now 18 years old and will be going to her last class in the fall, “Philo.” This is the 13th year of school, and it is difficult to pass. But Ada is confident and will do just fine! Ada and her sister and brother came to us years ago. We were told their parents lost their lives when their small boat capsized, as they tried to make it to the States. Ada loves music and “praise dances.” But even more, she loves to cook!! She has not yet decided about what she will become, but she knows that the Lord will open doors. She really is close to her “sisters,” and loves to be in the kitchen cooking up something special! She will go far in her life. Sherry

Updated Haiti news in our area:

Urgent news:

This is the town of Ganthier, which is 8 miles from us. Ganthier was the seat for all business and government affairs. The mayor’s office, city hall much more. It had schools, churches, businesses, and a thriving community. 2,000 families who have worked hard for a long time to obtain their little house lost everything. The former mayor told me that some people did not make it out, like the elderly, and the dogs have gone into some homes and eaten the dead. The whole town is no more, the gang owns Ganthier. We are feeding many of the families who fled to Fond Parisien. Our hearts are broken, such sweet people.

Read this carefully.

The headquarters of the 400 Mawozo gang is just 4 miles west of Ganthier! Lamou Sa Jou’s house is there, and most of his videos are taken from inside his house. He walks around in broad daylight with no fear.

Question: Why hasn’t he and his headquarters been attacked and destroyed by the Haitian government?

Fond Parisien and Love A Child are just 8 miles east of Ganthier. Mawozo is threatening to come here next.

Between this weekend and the next are important days. SOS! We need backup from the government.

Kenya would help, but their armored vehicles were not made to fight. Whoever ordered Kenya’s equipment had to be an idiot.

They want to fight but do not have the proper equipment after all the months of planning. I have never seen such an ill-planned operation with so much money involved.

Be advised: Fond Parisien is ready to fight and defend. Here at Love A Child, we have beefed up our security with the best. We will not let these people come in and touch our orphan children. We could run, but we are done watching everyone run! More security is coming.

Haiti is held hostage by the gangs. This must stop. Please pray for Haiti, its government, the people, and the wonderful children who are the future of Haiti.

Standing on Psalms 91 and Isaiah 43:2

We need your prayers and support more than ever.

Thank you for standing with us.

We love you…

Word from the Mission Field

LET JESUS’ LIGHT SHINE!

“Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

If you set a city on a hill, all will see the city when the lights are on. If we light a candle, we don’t put it under a box but on a candlestick. This way all in the house will have light. When we do good works, all will see the light of Christ. Here in Haiti, when we feed the poor, clothe the naked, and help those who are sick, people see what the Lord is doing. Glorify the Lord! Let your light shine before men, that they may see Jesus!

More Updates Tomorrow

Delay in pictures:

Sorry, we are still working on trying to retrieve the right pictures from our camera and drone. Tomorrow, we will have some more pictures from our feeding today. Also, I will be giving an important update for our area. We are under constant threat of attack from the gangs. Tonight, many of us from the community had a very important meeting concerning the gangs. “If God be for us, who can be against us…” (Romans 8:31) Psalms 91. Thank you for your prayers!

Ericka… “She Won’t Give Up”

Ericka is the sweetest young girl in our Orphanage. She is handicapped. When she was born, her mother became very ill after delivery, and she died.

She was passed off to a neighbor who tried to care for her, but Ericka had severe health problems and skin problems. So we took her in.

Ericka can mimic sounds, but she cannot talk plainly. She just took her “sixth-grade test,” which would allow her to go to 7th grade, but she failed. Poor thing. She has been crying for days.

We will probably allow her to return to sixth grade again, but if she does not pass, we will need to give her a job and let her earn money for her future.

Having children with disabilities here in Haiti is a big problem, especially now. But we know the Lord loves her, and He loves all children, and He has a plan for each life.

Word from the Mission Field

The calling of God:

“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” Isaiah 6:8

Is the Lord calling you today into His work?
Is the Lord calling you to a faraway mission field?
Is the Lord calling you to be a missionary in Haiti?
Are you willing to sacrifice and leave all to follow Christ where He may lead you?
Are you willing to die on the mission field for the Lord?

Not my will, but Lord Your will be done. It’s not easy, but the reward is far more than I can put into words this morning.

Here am I Lord, send me…

Jean Gardy, Always Watching Every Penny!

Jean Gardy was “born to be an accountant!” He’s good with money. While other kids were playing dominos and soccer, Jean Gardy was calculating “how to save money!” As soon as he was enrolled in college here in Haiti, he made high grades! While working for us at our main office here in Fond Parisien, he and his brothers started a restaurant business together. Jean Gardy was managing the money, pinching every penny.

His mother died when he was very young, and his father had other children and was not able to care for him. We were “blessed,” when he came into our lives! Jean Gardy, along with Dieuferly and some others, now operates the restaurant in our Mache Mirak (formerly called Epidor), and together with Franceau, their older brother, they are in charge of the Mache Mirak. We are proud of Jean Gardy and all of our Love A Child kids! They are serving the Lord and they are the future of Haiti! Thank you, partners!!

PREPARING FOR TOMORROW:

Today, our team is out to a very secluded (very hard to get to) area, giving out Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) food tickets. One ticket per family for one 33-pound box of 216 FMSC meals.

Tomorrow, Sherry and I will travel there, plus cook a delicious hot meal for many children. This area is extremely hungry and neglected. Thank you to our partners who have made this possible. We are doing this together. Love is something you do!

Word from the Mission Field

“Wisdom or Money.”

When Bobby and I started out in the ministry, we were poorer than anyone you can imagine. Bobby always says we were “poorer than Job’s cat!” We were preaching on street corners in the poorest areas of Cocoa, Florida, and other areas. Bobby had a PA microphone and we had borrowed chairs from a funeral home for our “congregation,” of whom were alcoholics, prostitutes, and others. With a toddler and one on the way, we were so broke, that we were asking our “congregation” to bring in food! Our offerings were under $4 a night!

We kept asking God for a lot of money to bring us out of the hole, when we should have been asking Him for Wisdom. “For wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.” Proverbs 8:11

So, no matter what your situation is, ask God for Wisdom! Wisdom will lead you to make the right decisions for your problems. Have a blessed day!
