Stanley… It's hard to believe, but at one time, Stanley was actually a skinny little kid! He had come to us from an orphanage in Cape Haitian. Their Creole is a little different than in other parts of Haiti, and when he got here, all I heard was "ki nam?" (What is your name?) All...
Jesse Ostrander has been in the Dominican Republic all week, preparing our Love A Child missions house for future trips. We also work in the Dominican Republic, ministering and feeding the Haitians in the bateys (sugar cane camps) where Haitian families live and work. The last week of this month, we are partnering with David...
We just are so, so thankful to International Aid for their gift of the very best disinfectant and cleaning items, Betco. This is Dr. Barthelemy, the head of our Jesus Healing Center clinic. He was so excited to receive this gift. We use this every day in our clinic and in our Birthing Center. And, our...
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. Luke 14:13-14 In life we want to do things for people who can pay us back, but in God's kingdom, when...
Lionel is a really sweet young teenager. He is now 13 years old. It has been about five years since we took guardianship of him, when he was found in the street by the police, abandoned. It seems that his father had gotten angry at him and held his hand in boiling water. When he...
God loves a cheerful giver, and when we give and share, He always makes sure that it "comes back"! We can never "out-give God"! As we always say, sharing our food with other good missionaries is something that Bobby and I love! We were so poor when we moved to Haiti and no one ever...
Paving the way with pavers and answered prayers! Out here in Fond Parisien, it is hot and very dusty. So many times I've seen the little pregnant mothers coming to our Birthing Center with white dust blowing all over them from our road inside Love A Child. The same thing with the mothers who will be coming to...
"When God Asks a Little Thing…" Aren’t we all ready to "do something for God”? Something "flashy…something that everyone could see us do…" But what happens when God asks us to do "a little thing”? Is it "too little"? Maybe it will be so little "that no one would notice" except you and God. There...
Hannah is 16 years old and is in 9th grade. She LOVES to sing and is always practicing. She is a blessing to everyone. She has a desire to help people but doesn’t know yet in what way God wants to use her. So, she studies hard. Hannah is kind and loving. She is always...
Update: Bryon and all the great Haitian construction workers are working hard on the new Jesus Healing Center today. We are ahead of schedule and hoping by faith that all the funds will come so we can open the clinic in late October. I believe the Lord will provide! Many Haitian lives will be spared, especially...
