This morning, we will be delivering food to several hundred families in the areas of La Roche and Lastic. Our trucks must travel up the mountain path and through the rocky river bed. The people and children in these areas have been suffering so much, due to lack of food. Those poor little families who...
There are two scriptures that I say out loud every day as I pray in the mornings. “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O...
We welcome Pastor Mark Ostrander and Bryon Ray to Haiti today! They will be overseeing the construction of the new medical staff housing building for all the doctors, nurses, and staff. They are also converting the old Jesus Healing Center building into our new Love A Child offices. This will save us a lot of...
"Raising Another Family..." Bobby and I have two children in the States, Jonathan and Julie, and three grandchildren. We would never have thought that we would be "raising another family," and a "very large family" at that, (85 children!) Haitian children are the same in many ways and different in many ways. One thing is...
"Put your feet in the water..." Moses had been a great leader, but now, Joshua would take on the mantle of Moses. Joshua was fearless!!! But, now, he was leading the Israelites (Bible scholars say about 1,000,000 people) across the Jordan. Now, in harvest season, the Jordan was at flood stage. But, the Bible says,...
Bianca is 17 years old and doing great in school! Bianca, her two sisters, and her brother were brought to us by their aunt. She explained that the children’s parents died taking a “Haitian boat” to the United States years ago. Bianca is very sweet and quiet. She studies “all the time!” She is a...
Our Birthing Center is open “24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year!” These Haitian mothers are so thankful for our new Birthing Center which would not be possible, had it not been for our partners. Our friends and partners make items for the babies and sometimes buy little outfits for...
Angels are among us! “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” Psalm 34:7 “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” Psalm 91:11 I will never forget here in Haiti several years ago, I was with two men (Dr. Warner and Pastor...
Each weekend, some of the older girls beg Bobby for driving lessons. This weekend it started out to be Widlene, Kristela, and Fabienne. But, when they first opened the door, Sampson, our rottweiler, jumped in, and "we couldn't get him out!" The problem is that Fabienne is deathly afraid of "black dogs!” Now, she was...
It is not uncommon in Haiti, for a father to abandon his children if his wife dies. Who will go a long way to the market? Who will wash the clothes, and clean and cook, (where is the food)? And, how can a father work all day in the garden if there is no one...
