These are some shots “outside our gate” at our old Jesus Healing Center clinic here at Love A Child! So much for “social distancing” outside! The crowds of sick people with their children are afraid they won’t get a chance to see a doctor. So, they push and press to get inside. Once they are...
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27 Bless the fatherless and a widow this week.

Normally, it might be hard to find a sweet young girl “smiling and laughing,” as she is doing chores in the States!

Need a manicure or pedicure? Here, we have two of our sweet older Love A Child girls, Dimelia and Fabienne. Dimelia is giving Fabienne a “pedicure!” These two young ladies have been with us since they were about “three and four.” Dimelia suffered severe burns when she was very small, falling into a pot of boiling...
𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭! This year, when COVID-19 hit, the natural thing to do would have been to "stop every project!" In fact, we were warned by our office in the States to "halt everything until after the pandemic." Everyone was worried about the money to continue these projects. That looked like wisdom, and we were willing...
SEVEN PROMISES TO THOSE WHO BLESS THE POOR: “Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

He’s 22 but looks to be about 15! When Jean Gardy was very young, his mother died. His father asked us to please take care of him and let him come to live with us. We did. At that time, we were in a very small, over-crowded building we used as an orphanage. Jean Gardy...
