Daniel is in 9th grade and has a twin sister, Daniella. These two new babies were brought to us when their mother died while trying to reach the general hospital in January of 2004. There had been "problems on the street" and police stopped the mother from entering into the hospital to give birth. It turned out that she was pregnant with triplets...one of the babies did not make it. Both Daniel and Daniella were "very small," but Daniel was the smallest. He looked like a "tiny little rat" for the longest time! We didn't think he would make it, but he did. Daniel loves school and is very intelligent! He works in our "fish farm"...
There is nothing sweeter than little Haitian children having a big plate of food to eat, especially at this time, when famine is rampant in Haiti. In many areas of the country, Haiti is experiencing hunger and famine. This is partly caused by the effect of the coronavirus, but much of it is "political." There are...
Sherry and I were scheduled to leave this morning for our 150-miles three-day journey to bring food to a very poor area. When we go there, we feed 1,000 children six days a week a hot meal from our Feed My Starving Children food. We hire the cooks to do for six days a week because the children there are very hungry. We received word from Nelio, our director (who was born in the village,) that it's much too dangerous to travel there today or anytime soon. Very hostile gangs have been taking over the area, shooting, robbing, and kidnapping...with no regard for human life. We were supposed to send our food truck there three days ago to take food but it was much too dangerous. Today we were bringing more food; we just received word last evening that the children are...
“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 It’s Wednesday morning, so let's rejoice and be glad in it! The devil has already told some of you that you are going to have a bad day. No! This is the day that the Lord...
This is Julia Jeannot, one of our older Love A Child kids. Julia and her sisters Yoland, and Florence, and her brother Frantzo, were all the next four children we took in, after the first set of four brothers and sisters. I had taken care of Julia's mother when she was sick but she later died. Julia's father was a poor man who lived up in the mountains. One day, he came to us and asked us to take in his four children. His wife had died and he could not care for them. When we took Julia in, she had very bad tuberculosis. We had to send her and her sister Florence to...
We just love sharing what God has blessed us with! We give food, not only to many poor villages, but to over 90 other organizations that help feed children, the elderly, and those in fragile conditions. These pictures just came in from Diddi, one of our friends at Mission Haiti Helping Kids. “One organization or mission” cannot do it all. It is too “overwhelming” to think about all the hungry children. But when we tie our cords together, we become stronger! When we put our...
Eat the last cake and die...or give it away and live? I know I shared a scripture from 1 Kings 17:12 just a short time ago, but I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about it, and was honestly upset that Elijah would ask a poor, hungry, starving widow woman for "her last cake." I know that after he asked her for bread, and she let him know that she and her son were starving to...
Our sweet little "Lovely" is growing up! It seems like yesterday, that "Madman Cheap Cheap" met with me to tell me about a baby that had been abandoned by their father. Madamn Cheap Cheap was a dear Haitian lady who sold souvenirs to the missionaries who came to Haiti (Apparently, the mom had HIV or...
We welcome Pastor Mark Ostrander today. He has made over 150 trips here to Love A Child. His son Jesse just left last week. Hardworking is not saying enough. By faith, as the money comes in we will be opening the new Jesus Healing Center by late October or early November. This week we will be out for two or three days distributing food to a village 150 miles away. There are some dangerous gangs in that area. This is...
God will give you an increase! "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For...
