This is Kidney. The kids gave him a nickname of “Ti Pikan" or “Little Thorn.” Kidney, like so many of our children, lost his mother when he was very young. His uncle brought him and his brother to our orphanage and asked if we would take them in. And, yes, we did. Kidney had malnutrition...
This morning we had another 40-foot container of 272,000 meals arrive from Feed My Starving Children. Thank you! We are in the process right now of getting 1500 bags of premium rice from the Haiti port. For safety reasons we cannot say the day or time when the meals will arrive. Please pray again for...
Haiti Update: Mark Ostrander arrives today to work along with Bryon and the Haitian construction workers on the Jesus Healing Center. Everyone is working so hard. By faith, we are hoping to move in by the end of October! Dominican Republic Update: We received a report yesterday from RL from our Villa Hermosa church in...
"He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remains forever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both ministereth bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness.” 2 Corinthians 9:9-10 Whatever we give to God, our seed is multiplied back to us. This is the...
Mikalange and her twin, Mika, were the children of Madamn Mercilia. This woman, too, died soon after the birth of her twins, (due to eclampsia, the childbirth fever). These children came from the mountains of Covant, the highest mountain we have worked in here in Haiti. She is the "most out-going" one of the twins....
Church on the porch! This morning here at Love A Child we had to seat some of the church folks on the school porch. Wonderful service! Haitians love to preach and sing! Our church is non-denominational; built for the whole community to serve the Lord. Right now, the tile layers are putting some nice tile...
"How Big is God?" What kind of problem are you facing today or this week? Does it seem "overwhelming to you?" Maybe you feel that you are so small and insignificant, that God doesn't hear your cry... but He does! Maybe you feel that "your problem" is too big for God? Nothing is too big...
This evening Bobby was invited by Pastor Claude, to baptize some of his older children and others. The only place to have a safe “water baptism,” was at his “guest house” near his orphanage. Pastor Claude wanted Bobby to do the “official” baptism for those who had received the Lord as their Savior, according to...
We finally got a picture of baby Zachary smiling! Two of the young men from our orphanage are photographers, and finally, one of them got it!! If you have never heard his story, it is so sad. Zachary's mother brought him to our Jesus Healing Center clinic when he was just a few months old....
Our kids love to work, especially if it becomes “fun!” Saturday is “clean-up day,” unless something else is going on. They cranked up the “Christian Praise” music full blast, tore out the mops, brooms, buckets, cleaning items, and went to work! Bobby and I were laughing watching the kids of all ages, singing, scrubbing, mopping,...
