"That's not what makes us who we are!" The Bible teaches us this: The Lord is speaking through His prophet Isaiah saying, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall...
His real name is “Lionel,” but everyone calls him “Yonel.” His mother died when he was young. We do not know if he had brothers or sisters. All we know is that he had a very abusive father. What triggered that man to do something so horrible is beyond me. But something made him so...
We are in the process this week of delivering the Mega premium rice to five different locations in Haiti. All of these places are many miles apart. Below is "Barry" who helps deliver all the rice to some very tough locations. We are proud of Barry. He was one of the first four children, along with his siblings, who we took into our Children's...
So, you think you want to be a missionary? Read: Matthew 9:35-38 Sherry and I have seen many missionaries, or people who thought they were missionaries, come and go here in Haiti. There is a big difference between having a desire and having a true, true calling to be a missionary. If we only have the desire, and then it gets hot, everything...
Bianca...What a beautiful young girl! Bianca's situation for her, her sister Ada, and her brother Raphael was a sad one. When she was very young, we were contacted by her aunt, who told us that the parents of the children had died when they tried to make it to the States in a Haitian boat....

We traveled together to Haiti around 400 times to preach and for building projects. After a while, I got burned out and discouraged. I found out that the Haitian pastor who we were helping build a nice orphanage and school for “was a fraud.” I found out just before we were to come and visit with him for...
“Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow…” Joel 3:13 There are many ways we “preach the Gospel” in Haiti. Most of the ways, we do not use words, but we use “love!” Love speaks louder than all of our words!...
We were on a Mobile Medical Clinic, far in the mountains when a father walked up to me, carrying his small son who I thought was about two. His face, arms, and legs were horribly swollen and splitting open, due to the amount of water in his body...but no protein. He had kwashiorkor malnutrition. I found out later that "Mackenson" was seven, and not two! We brought him home to our orphanage and sent him to the hospital (at that time,...
These are just some of our Love A Child children in front of our church in Fond Parisien! Notice how well the kids are dressed! It is cultural in Haiti to dress nicely for church! We are so proud of our kids! (Lots of them had already left for home when this picture was taken,...
"Whoso stoppeth his ears to the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard." Proverbs 21:13 "There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fared sumptuously every day. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores; And...
