Updates: Sherry and I are in the Dominican Republic (along with Jesse and Kim Ostrander) checking on some projects. Will be sharing later… The Dominican and Haitian children here will steal your heart! Sherry and I will be returning to Haiti tomorrow. Mark Ostrander along with Bryon Ray and the Haitian workers are in Haiti working on the Jesus...
“And Jesus stood still…” Mark 10:49 No one had ever paid much attention to him. He lay at the roadside at the entrance to Jericho, begging for a living. He was only known as “blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus.” He was just outside Jericho, when he heard a huge crowd of people coming his...
Sandraline was born in Croix-des-Bouquets about an hour from here. Her mother died soon after her birth. We are not sure how she died, but it was possibly from "childbirth fever." Her father, Fritzner, worked in Port-au-Prince repairing bicycle tires in order to pay a woman to care for his baby. But this did not...
These children are the future of Haiti. Love A Child has Christian schools all over Haiti, especially far in the mountains. Children in Haiti who go to school and get an education, especially a Christian education, will go so much further than children in the streets. There are many "gangs" in Haiti doing violence. But unlike in the States, the gangs in Haiti are on the streets because their parents could not afford a good education…so they turn to street violence because they have "no jobs." The poor who are fortunate enough to learn things like laying blocks etc. can sometimes find work as they now do at Love A Child, working on our road project or...
Our Birthing Center is always a place of joy and sharing. We have lots of women attending our "Women's Health and Awareness" in the morning. Then, the midwives teach about "birth control." They must come to these classes before being admitted to see the female doctor or midwife. When the classes are finished, we love to...
"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....
