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. There is "a lot” of work involved in having a Malnutrition Center because the babies and toddlers coming in are usually near death....
When I am having a rough day, I just open up my laptop and look at darling pictures of children like these, and it makes my day! These quilts were hand-made by our friends at Lutheran Missions Attic Workshop. I don't believe we have never met these dear friends, but they such wonderful partners. Just...
"Someone is watching over you!" Have you ever felt the presence of angels when you were in a bad situation? It doesn’t mean you have "seen one," although some people have, but the "presence" of someone "watching over you" is extremely calming, especially in a bad situation. When we first moved to Haiti, after a...
We just came back from visiting Pastor Claude at his orphanage compound. We brought food for his children, and he was so thankful. As you may remember, Pastor Claude had become very ill recently and was hospitalized twice! We asked for your prayers. He had been very sick, but, today, what a difference we saw!...

Hannah Jean Jules was born in the mountains of Demesseau, Haiti. Her mother died either during or shortly after childbirth, so Pastor Emmanuel brought her to our orphanage. She had poor health and severe malnutrition. She recovered overtime. Hannah loves music and singing in church! She has a close walk with the Lord. This young...
Thank you all for your sweet notes about Pastor Sorel. There is one important thing I forgot to mention... Take a close look at his picture, you will see a "circle" on his forehead. He never wanted to talk about it much, but I had asked Fre Dodo about it. Fre Dodo was a famous witch...
Sad news... Friday night, we received a call around midnight that Pastor Sorel died. The call came from one of the firefighters in Miracle Village, as Pastor Sorel was also on the firefighter team for Miracle Village. He pastored the Love A Child church in the village of Old Letant. He had not been feeling...
“Even so faith if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:17 1 Peter 4:8 teaches us that love covers a multitude of sins. Love forgives, love blesses the poor, love produces much fruit. Several years ago, the Lord put this thought within my spirit. Faith is not something you just talk about, faith...
