She was just a baby, about three months old or a little more, when her mother, Madamn Jesula, brought Esther and her sister, Widlene, to our house in Mt. Noire, Haiti. Madamn Jesula looked like she was going to die at any moment. She just wanted someone “to take care of her babies after she died.”...
We now have enough interest in our very popular “Sustainable Agriculture in Haiti” three-week training class to hold our next session from March 1 – March 20. Students are sponsored by other organizations in Haiti doing relief and development work to come live at our Agricultural Training Center (ATC) for an intensive three-week class. They...
Please Pray: The concrete trucks began coming in this morning for the new Jesus Healing Center staff housing. Pastor Mark was behind the concrete truck showing it how to back up to pour the concrete when he fell into a deep hole head first! He could have easily broken his neck. He was unconscious, so...
Yesterday we passed out Feed My Starving Children meals to the 161 vendors at Gwo Mache Mirak (Grand Miracle Market). Each box has 216 nourishing meals. The vendors have been making very little money due to all the political, economic problems, riots, protests, roadblocks, etc. A special thank you to Mr. Bellevue, the manager, and...
“I won’t take no for an answer, faith.” All of us will need a miracle in our life, sooner or later. And when we do, we must be able to “do whatever it takes” to get to Jesus. One of my favorite stories is Mark 2:4. Jesus was preaching in Capernaum in someone’s house. When...
Here we have little Noah, Joshua, Kenzy, and Ti Samuel. They are trying to "smile" for the camera! Most children here in Haiti don't know how to smile for a camera... When we say "smile," they seem to lock their teeth together! They really looked cuter before I asked them to smile. Since living here...
Life in Haiti! Always Waiting...the Concrete is Coming! MESSAGE FROM MARK OSTRANDER: Hi Bobby. I know I told you this morning we would be pouring the floor of the new doctor's dorm. This was based upon what the concrete company told me. 10 days ago, I called them and ordered 50 yards of concrete for...
We welcome Pastor Mark Ostrander back to Haiti. This makes around 600 trips to Love A Child; we love you! Today, he and his construction workers will be pouring the new Jesus Healing Center staff housing building floor. The concrete trucks will be here shortly. Later today, we will be distributing Feed My Starving Children...
"Blind Faith" Jesus is on his way to Jericho, with a "great multitude of people." Blind Bartimaeus sat by the wayside, begging, as he had done for years. But now, he "hears" the crowd singing, chanting, and a great noise. "Jesus of Nazareth is passing his way!" This is his only chance, and he cries...
Ada is such a sweet, young teenaged girl. She was brought to us by her aunt, years ago, along with her sister and brother. She told us the story of their parents trying to escape on a "Haitian boat" to the States, only to drown. Of course, we could not turn these children away... Ada...
