Updated news: We are now preparing to board the plane for a direct flight from the Dominican Republic to Port-au-Prince on Sunrise airlines. It’s running over an hour late. Earlier today we met with RL and his wife Vanessa in front of our Love A Child church, which David George World Ministries sponsored the money...
What an incredible story!! This woman is Janise Dolean from Chambrun. This is a poor village, with mostly voodoo people. We recently had a food distribution here, and what sweet people they are! After the distribution, Joseph and Peter, who work with us, went with Joel Trimble to interview this lady. They gave her food!!...
"This One Belongs to God!" In 2 Chronicles 20:10, King Jehoshaphat faces an overwhelming evil force...three countries/provinces have joined battle against Judah...the King of Ammon, the King of Moab, and the King of Mount Seir. Judah is "way outnumbered." Have you ever felt that way? Outnumbered? We have, many times. Here, King Jehoshaphat stood in...
When Joseph and Sarah were born, their mother and father lived far in the mountains. Their mother died when they were about two years old. Both had severe kwashiorkor malnutrition and were very sad. We took Joseph and Sarah into our orphanage. Joseph likes to play soccer and work! He wants to be a mechanic....
We are in the Dominican Republic with Jesse Ostrander and his wife, Kim, and Michelene, who grew up in our Children’s Home. (Tomorrow we will be in La Romana checking on some land papers and the church that David George and his partners built, in a very poor area. Then that afternoon, we will be flying back to Haiti.) Michelene was about five years old when her mother began working for us. They were having a hard time,...

Will be sharing later… The Dominican and Haitian children here will steal your heart! Sherry and I will be returning to Haiti tomorrow. Mark Ostrander along with Bryon Ray and the Haitian workers are in Haiti working on the Jesus...
“And Jesus stood still…” Mark 10:49 No one had ever paid much attention to him. He lay at the roadside at the entrance to Jericho, begging for a living. He was only known as “blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus.” He was just outside Jericho, when he heard a huge crowd of people coming his...
Sandraline was born in Croix-des-Bouquets about an hour from here. Her mother died soon after her birth. We are not sure how she died, but it was possibly from "childbirth fever." Her father, Fritzner, worked in Port-au-Prince repairing bicycle tires in order to pay a woman to care for his baby. But this did not...
These children are the future of Haiti. Love A Child has Christian schools all over Haiti, especially far in the mountains. Children in Haiti who go to school and get an education, especially a Christian education, will go so much further than children in the streets. There are many "gangs" in Haiti doing violence. But unlike in the States, the gangs in Haiti are on the streets because their parents could not afford a good education…so they turn to street violence because they have "no jobs." The poor who are fortunate enough to learn things like laying blocks etc. can sometimes find work as they now do at Love A Child, working on our road project or...
Our Birthing Center is always a place of joy and sharing. We have lots of women attending our "Women's Health and Awareness" in the morning. Then, the midwives teach about "birth control." They must come to these classes before being admitted to see the female doctor or midwife. When the classes are finished, we love to...
