The Land Flowing with Milk and Honey! The Lord had promised Moses and all the children of Israel the "Promise Land." After Moses sent the spies to search out this land they came back with a bad report. They said "we came unto the land whither thou send us, and it flows with milk and honey, and this is the fruit...
We just never thought that this little six-year-old would ever turn out to be a Dental Hygienist! Fabienne’s mother used to work for us at our old orphanage, until one day we had to let her go. She left little Fabienne behind with us! Fabienne is now a young woman who is very sweet, humble,...
“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” (Matthew 22:39) This is one of God’s greatest commandments. In the middle of nowhere, many poor families have no neighbors. Bobby and Sherry Burnette, and the Love A Child team, serve as the “boots on the ground” bringing food and the Word of God to our neighbors in...
Update on the hurricane in Haiti: In our area, the storm came through here in Fond Parisien, Haiti with no problems. Still windy and a little rain. The farmers needed the rain. I see that now the storm is now a hurricane. We are praying for our friends in the Bahamas, Florida, and the southeast...

Jesse Ostrander and Bryon Ray have been working all week, along with our wonderful Haitian construction workers, on the Jesus Healing Center. They all get so much work done. It’s been unbelievable! As the Lord supplies the money, we are praying that we can open up for the Haitian families by the end of October....
Stanley, aka “Gwo Chat” (Big Cat), was thin and scrawny when he came to Love A Child. (All the kids give each other a nickname!) He came from another orphanage in Cap-Haitien where they speak a different kind of Creole. He was about 11 years old, or maybe younger, but he fit in quite rapidly....
I just heard some singing in French as I passed over the stairs here at our Love A Child Children’s Home. Madamn Raphael is teaching French to different classes of our children. While their main language is Creole, they need to speak French to get a good job. And colleges here speak French. Some colleges...
