I’ve preached in several countries before and after Haiti. Sherry and I started traveling to Haiti back and forth when we were very young. We traveled together to Haiti around 400 times to preach and for building projects. After a while, I got burned out and discouraged. I found out that the Haitian pastor who we were helping build a nice orphanage and school for “was a fraud.” I found out just before we were to come and visit with him for...
“Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow…” Joel 3:13 There are many ways we “preach the Gospel” in Haiti. Most of the ways, we do not use words, but we use “love!” Love speaks louder than all of our words!...
We were on a Mobile Medical Clinic, far in the mountains when a father walked up to me, carrying his small son who I thought was about two. His face, arms, and legs were horribly swollen and splitting open, due to the amount of water in his body...but no protein. He had kwashiorkor malnutrition. I found out later that "Mackenson" was seven, and not two! We brought him home to our orphanage and sent him to the hospital (at that time,...
These are just some of our Love A Child children in front of our church in Fond Parisien! Notice how well the kids are dressed! It is cultural in Haiti to dress nicely for church! We are so proud of our kids! (Lots of them had already left for home when this picture was taken,...
"Whoso stoppeth his ears to the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard." Proverbs 21:13 "There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fared sumptuously every day. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores; And...
Dimelia is such a joy! Her father brought her to us when she was about three. She had been badly burned when she was younger, so when her father brought her to us, she was severely scarred. She was a sad little girl. She could not lift her arms (due to scar tissue) or turn her neck. We sent her to Shriners Hospitals for Children in Boston many times, where she had "several grafts," and suffered a lot. While traveling back and forth, she missed a lot of school in Haiti, but she studied in the U.S. She speaks perfect English and graduated from an English speaking high school, in Haiti, with honors. But her French was not good enough for her to attend university here...
Children are the reason we moved to Haiti! They have stolen our hearts! Special thanks to Pastor Britt, for sponsoring the “Feeding Center,” for the children in the village of Old Letant. This is where they cook and prepare all the food for the children! Most poor children in Haiti do not even get “one...
"Wait Upon the Lord…" Have you ever tried to "hurry God up" or "help God out?" The hardest thing to do sometimes is to "wait upon the Lord." His timing is not "our timing," but He is always "on time." In I Samuel 10:8, Saul had just been anointed King of Israel by the Prophet Samuel...Samuel had poured oil on Saul's head and then told Saul where to find his lost mules that he had been looking for. Then Samuel said, "And thou shalt go down before me in Gilgal; and, behold I will come down unto thee to offer burnt offerings, and...
We call him Ti Samuel (Little Samuel) because we have an older "Samuel" here at our Love A Child Children's Home. What can I say about this little pistol? He is cute as a button and is missing some teeth. The Department of Social Services brought us a child, and one man had Ti Samuel in...
We had a great board meeting and discussed our plans for the future. Bobby and Pastor Mark gave wonderful updates on the progress of our new Jesus Healing Center, our Malnutrition Center, and other projects. The Malnutrition Center building is being sponsored by Joyce Meyer Ministries - Hand of Hope, and we are so excited...
