GIVING THANKS TO THE LORD! The pilgrims had the first Thanksgiving dinner in 1621. "Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving.” (Colossians 4:2) Sherry and I, along with everyone from Love A Child, want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. May you have a wonderful time with your family today. Through all...
I can remember the day that Nelio, our Head Haitian Director, called me at the orphanage and told me about a little three-year-old girl he had rescued. He had heard about this little girl who was going to be “sold” to a man. He paid the price and brought Rebecca to us! God spared her...
Sherry and I, on behalf of everyone from Love A Child, want to wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for our friends and all the Lord has done. The pilgrims had their first Thanksgiving dinner in 1621! We will be having Thanksgiving dinner with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson in...
THE ANGELS OF GOD ARE WITH US! I remember when Pastor Mark Ostrander and I were coming back from building the Savaan Pit church deep and high up in the mountains of Haiti. It was late at night in the pouring down rain. No roads as you would know a road. We were on the...
When the gangs mounted a large attack on this area a couple weeks ago, they ransacked Pastor Claude's compound. He is our dear friend and neighbor. His orphanage children and workers escaped. They took refuge in the surrounding area and mountains as shots rang out. While a major gun battle was taking place on the...
Yolanda Estime was born in the mountains of Covant, Haiti. It has been our toughest, most grueling, place to get to in Haiti! There are no medical clinics for miles around, so many mothers die in childbirth. Her father was unable to care for a newborn, as he already had six children. Yolanda loves our...
The prisons of Haiti are some of the worst prisons in the world. There is no running water, no sewage, and no electricity, and now most have an average of one meal per week or less. Combined with no medical care, this creates the perfect storm of suffering for thousands of prisoners throughout Haiti who...
BROKEN FOCUS: “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” 2 Peter 1:10 So many things come up in our lives that try to break our focus from what the Lord has called us to do. Some of these things may be a...
The kids in our orphanage always give one another a nickname! The kids all just take it “with a grain of salt!” Fritzner’s nickname is “Pa sou sa,” or “I’m not interested in that!” Actually, that’s a good name for Fritzner because he is very focused! He was just four months old when Pastor Justin,...
I know we post a lot about feeding the children in the mountains and schools. We show you pictures of food distributions to thousands of people in South Haiti, here in Fond Parisien, and also hard-to-reach places way up in the mountains. Most of the food that we distribute gets shipped in large containers from...
