What Time I am Afraid… All of us have been in a position of “being afraid.” There have been times that we have broken down in the middle of “nowhere” here in Haiti and “scary-looking people have shown up there, “in the middle of nowhere!” The only way to defeat fear is to trust in the...
Urgent request! We rescued Jackson from the mountains of Savaan Pit during a Mobile Clinic a little over two years ago. His stomach was horribly swollen and we had a hard time getting him healthy. He still has kidney problems and is on this special medication, Tacrolimus (pictured). For a while, we had a wonderful...
Yesterday, we sent some of our workers into a very dangerous area of Haiti to "spy out the land." This one area is probably the saddest area we have ever seen, and it is almost impossible to go there and not cry. The children, men and women, and even some of the "street guys" were all begging for food. One little girl started crying, telling our worker how she dreamed of "leaving Haiti, getting a job, and feeding her mother, father, and family!" Another elderly woman began to cry as she told us how hard it was to find food each day for herself, for her children and grandchildren. The stories were so horrific that...
We are on the winning side! Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me? We are in a battle of spiritual and natural warfare. But, we are on the winning side!! I remember years ago when I took our son Jonathan to a championship wrestling match in Orlando,...
In January of 2018, a little toddler was abandoned in the mud near our gate. He had some of his teeth "knocked out," and had been burned, bitten, and starved. We took him to our Jesus Healing Center, and he was terrified. He had been abused horribly and had malnutrition. But when a child feels love, he or she heals so quickly! In no time, Noah was talking and walking and running and...
We just walked into our “Jesus Healing Center” clinic emergency room, and it was full of people. (There were others behind the draped area.) Our ER is full nearly every day. We have motorcycle accidents, car wrecks, burned children, and almost anything else you can think of! These people were robbed last night at 11:30...
All my life, I've always heard about the "calling of God" to "go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Couples have sold their homes, and people have left their jobs to move to the mission field…anywhere they felt that God wanted them to go. Many left "by faith" with no...
Update: Today, we had plans to travel to L'Artibonite where we are feeding the children a hot cooked meal every day. Due to ever-changing plans, it did not work out today. One thing about being a missionary here in Haiti… you must be flexible. In Haiti, it's very difficult to get things done and to get from...
This is Kristela. Her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother were all deeply involved in Voodoo. They all lived in the village of Savaan Pit, high in the mountains. We were there, conducting a "Mobile Clinic," when Kristela's mother, Madamn Paul, came to see us. She was expecting, and she was very sick. WE knew that she would not last long, and so we told her about Jesus, and she accepted Jesus as her Savior. Twelve days later, Madamn Paul died after giving birth to Kristela. Her poor father brought the baby to us, covered with sores and malnourished. We took her in and raised her here at Love A Child. Kristela is in her "11th" year at school. She loves to cook, dance, and sing...but, she is gifted at teaching "praise dances"...
Many people have been asking us when we will start having teams come back to Haiti. We will not be starting up teams again until “the Level 4 warning” has been lifted. A Level 4 warning is the highest, "most dangerous warning" a country can have. Haiti's Level 4 warning is due to COVID-19, an increase in gang...
