She's 16 years old and extremely shy. She comes from the village of Madamn Bauje, the same village that Ti Mika came from. It is a very, very poor village, mostly covered with dust and some rocks. We first saw her walking from the left to right side of the dirt path, through some scrub bushes. She...
OUR HEARTS WERE TOUCHED. Last evening was the last night of the crusade here in Fond Parisien, at Gwo Mache Mirak (Grand Miracle Market). Wow! The Haitians love to sing unto Jesus! Our hearts were so touched. Many had our school benches to sit on, but several hundred had to stand for about three hours. Haitians are hungry for the...
“A Hand Wide Open…” Someone once said, “There’s nothing worse than a stingy Christian.” I agree. God has blessed us so much that we should always go and give the second mile as Christians. I have seen so many Christians who give “just enough to get by,” but if the Lord did that, we would...
Not much is known about Rebecca's parents… perhaps both of them died, but one thing is known, it was about nine years ago that Nelio Barthelemy, our Haitian director, heard about a little girl, age three, who was about to be sold as a restavek slave child. The name, "restavek," means to stay with, as...

Hear the...

“No Place for Scaredy-cats!” When I was a child, living in the hills of Pennsylvania, us kids would often play games and try to scare each other! We would hide in the dark behind a tree and jump out and scare someone and holler, “Scaredy-cat!” Lots of times it was my younger brother, and lots...
Hannah Jean Jules (also called “Anna”) was born in the mountains of Demesseau, Haiti. Her mother died when she was born, and she was given to Pastor Emmanuel, who had a church there (built by Love A Child). He brought her to our orphanage. Nothing is known of her father…Hannah was in poor health and...
You may have read the story of Jonas, the little boy we met in the village of Manacou. He had been working hard in the gardens with the men of the village when we met him. His parents were both dead, and he had no family to take him in. He slept in the bushes...
“The Story of Jonas” While our "feeding team” was preparing for a food distribution in a new village, they met this little boy, Jonas. Jonas was born high in the mountains of a village called Manacou, near Peyi Pouri. (It takes a “four-wheel-drive vehicle” to get there.) We noticed this little boy working hard in...
