Even When He’s In Trouble, He’s Sweet! About 15 years ago, Bobby and I got a phone call from our Haitian Director, Nelio Barthelemy. He said that we would need to take in another baby. Most of our children have come to us due to the fact that their mothers died during childbirth or immediately...
"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.." Proverbs 17:22 We love to share! When the patients at our Jesus Healing Center come in, if we have "gifts," we give them one! Today, the patients received a nice "bag" that they can put their things in when they make trips back and forth, to come...
Moving and Shaking! This morning, we are unloading a 40-foot container of wood and metal for the new Jesus Healing Center staff housing roof. The staff housing building is sitting next to the new Jesus Healing Center. Next week the block will be going up! All of the doctors, nurses, lab people and cleaners, take...
"What's a Mountain to an Eagle?" Are you facing something “overwhelming” in your life today? We have been through many things, too. Bobby and I have found ourselves with our backs against the wall. We have faced death. We have been “beyond broke,” with bill collectors calling and some trying to repossess our truck while...
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!...
“If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” John 14:14 “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” James 1:6 So, you can ask, but don’t waver when you ask. What’s on your...
