Please pray again today that Casimi, our container truck driver, will be able to pick up the 1500 bags of premium rice from the port in Port-au-Prince. As you know, yesterday there was too much trouble on the streets. May the angels of the Lord be with Casimi as he travels to the port. It’s extremely hazardous. Today Jesse Ostrander is working on the Jesus Healing Center and also building a house for a poor Haitian family in Miracle Village. We are very thankful for our wonderful Haitian staff and...
God will restore! “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied…" Joel 2:25-26 God is about to restore what the devil has taken from you. I felt so strong within my spirit to...
Update on the container of rice from today: You saw the post that I sent earlier today asking for you to pray that Casimi, our semi-truck driver, would make it back safely to Love A Child with a load of rice for the Haitian people. Today, he did not make it very far on the road. There was so much shooting, burning...
Sherry and I are now in Florida preparing for our Love A Child board meeting in Fort Myers, Florida. The Bible says, "Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety." (Proverbs 11:14) We are thankful for a wonderful board, men, and women full of wisdom and love for the Haitian people. Pray for Casimi, our semi-container truck driver, as he goes to the port today in Port-au-Prince to pick up a container full of 1500 bags of premium rice, weighing 27.5 pounds each. We hear that there has been a lot of shootings in this area today. Gangs...
In 1 Samuel 22:1-2, David is hiding from wicked King Saul... He cannot kill Saul, because "he cannot touch God's anointed." So, he must hide from him because he cannot take Saul's life. However, King Saul is out to kill David... "David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren...
The young boy you see in the picture watering the plants in our Children's Home courtyard is Christian. This picture was taken "early in the morning." The tall man beside Christian is "Camey," he is over the boys, and he is also the guy with the "megaphone" getting everyone up at 4:30 am to start the day! (Camey believes in God, hard work, discipline, and dancing!! Ha!) Christian is 14 and in Junior High. His story is sad, but it has a happy ending. His mother died when he was a toddler, and his father was put in prison (we don't...
We welcomed Jesse Ostrander into Haiti yesterday to work on the new Jesus Healing Center and to help build one more house in Miracle Village. (This will be the last house being built in Miracle Village due to land space.) We have also built several houses in Miracle Village for families from the garbage dump. I cannot express the joy the families had when they moved in! Many of the children have never slept on a bed in...
About 12 years ago, one of our Haitian pastors, Pastor Justin, walked down from one of the highest mountains where we work, a village called Covant. He was carrying a baby in his arms. His poor mother died right after childbirth from eclampsia, the "childbirth fever," which leaves behind so many orphans here in Haiti....
“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10 – What faith in God was spoken by a man who had lost everything. Job lost his wealth, his cattle, his children, his health, and his friends, but he had faith in God. When...
This is Fabienne, one of the young girls who was raised in our Love A Child Children’s Home. She is studying “dentistry” at a university here in Haiti, and she loves it! God gave her this gift when she was helping on our Mobile Medical Clinics with the dental teams! Many Haitians, especially children, have bad teeth...
