Yesterday, we gave out meals to our vendors at our Gwo Mache Mirak (Grand Miracle Market). They make very little money during these hard times in Haiti. They were so happy and thankful! Mr. Bellevue, who is the manager of the market, did a great job organizing and calling out the names of the vendors. Our grandsons helped,...
Bobby and I, along with our “Love A Child” family, want to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful “Thanksgiving.” Our son, Jonathan, his wife Julie, and our two grandsons, Aidan and Brandon, will be delivering food to two villages today! Every day that a Haitian family has food to eat is “Thanksgiving!” God bless all...
"A Thankful Heart" Thanksgiving! This is a special day to remember to "thank the Lord" for all He has done... "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." Psalm 100:4 Have you ever done something for someone that was "not thankful?" Didn't it...
We love taking our children to visit another orphanage… This is Pastor Claude’s Orphanage, which is not far from us. We brought them food, toys, and lots of music! Our girls danced and praised God, as did the other children. Pastor Claude was so glad to get the food from Feed My Starving Children. We...
Stephano has the best smile of all the children! He is never “moody” or unhappy. He is always smiling! Stephano’s mother went to prison here in Haiti, and also had “mental problems.” After she had “Stephano,” his father abandoned him. (One of the parents was Dominican, probably his father.) He wants to be a mechanic, but...
Life is best lived when we have a purpose, some way to apply ourselves and be productive. Having purpose and achievement also gives us dignity, pride, and self-worth. I mention this because not long ago, after the terrible earthquake, many Haitians found themselves with nothing, no homes, no communities, and missing or dead family members. Hundreds of...
I shall not be afraid! “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 The Lord is with us in the midst of the battle. I will not be afraid! The Lord has given us his power and love to overcome all evil...
Julia Jeannot, her two sisters, and one brother, were the "second family of four children" that we brought into our original "Love A Child Orphanage." At that time, Julia was about nine years old. Her mother, whom we had known, died, leaving their father to care for four children. He asked us if we would...
“And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am...
We always look forward to our "food distributions" to poor villages. It is hard to imagine what it is like to try to feed a child, on "practically nothing." Most of these poor families are not able to feed their child "three times a day," or even "twice a day." And, in many cases, the...
