"She Has A Dance in Her Feet." Her mother died during a "C-section" and her father left the baby to travel to the Dominican Republic. He never returned. Ginyia was in the hands of her 17-year-old cousin but she could no longer take care of the baby. She took the baby to the Department of...
Food Shortage, Rising Food Prices, and Greater Demand for “Mud Cookies.” In all the 29 years that we have been living here in Haiti, we have never seen the food prices so high, and the health of the poor, so low. We have seen more malnourished children this past year than ever before. This has...
"Think on these things..." In the last few days, I have caught myself "worrying" about the future... our rights being taken away and the "freedom of speech." I found myself thinking that the "signs of the times are upon us," sooner than we thought. But, all of a sudden, it was as if the Lord...
That's what the Haitians say. And isn't that true?! This is little Zachary, who is now over a year old. He has finally stopped crying and fussing, and now he is getting "cute!" We took Zachary in under some strange circumstances... Many of you remember that his mother came to our clinic because she was...
“Hair” We Go Again! Our older Love A Child kids are “growing up!” They have actually been in school for 13 years because they start “earlier” than we do in the states. Their last grade is Philo! It is very hard to pass, but our kids have done well... James, Jean Richard, and Sarah (not pictured...

“George, how old did you say you were when you started driving our backhoe and front-end loader?" "12??" George was just a baby when we brought him to our Love A Child Orphanage. His mother was frail and in bad health and could not care for another baby. George was born during “Hurricane Georges,” about...

Tuesday, January 12th, will be the big day for the Jesus Healing Center, and Friday the 15th will be the big day for the Malnutrition Center! I'm...
Ever play "hide and go seek?" Those games we played when we were children were fun but had an everlasting meaning. We can never "hide" from God. His eyes are always "watching over his children." Another game we played was "coin in hand." We wanted to see if we could "pry open" that strong hand...
