Years ago, we were told that Haiti only had 5 percent of its forests left! Today, there is much less. Clean water is rare. Most poor Haitians have to buy water, but most cannot even afford to buy food. So water sources like these are common. They are full of bacteria and “only God knows”...
A Policy with Good Benefits Looking for a good life insurance policy? We always try to check into the ones with the best benefits. Sometimes we think we have benefits until we read the small print, and the small print is not on our side. The Lord also gives us a policy. It is called the Word of God, and it has many benefits. No one can deny you of the benefits if you know that you have them. Let's go to Psalms 103:2-5: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 1. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities (sins); 2.who healeth all thy diseases; 3. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; 4. who crowneth thee...
Daphline is a hardworking little girl. She's 12 years old and in the 7th grade. She is a non-critical little girl, always trying to settle a "spat" between siblings. She has come a long way from the "mountains of Savaan Roche" to where she is here in Fond Parisien. Her mother, Jolucia, died shortly after childbirth....
We just sent a huge truckload of hospital supplies to the Centre de Sante Bas-Fonds Philemene. Hospitals here in Haiti have a hard time buying their own medical supplies, especially those who serve the poor. That’s why we are so thankful to organizations like World Vision who send us medicines and medical supplies. What a blessing! They also sent us special hospital gear for dealing with viruses like COVID-19. We are always so thankful to receive these wonderful donations knowing that they can save lives! Thank you so much, and God bless those of you who donate items of value and those who give. It pleases God when we share and love one another. We have great love and respect for the other missionaries who live in...
Children with Special Needs... Here in Haiti, children with special needs are usually "swept under the table" unless a really wonderful organization has a "heart" for the children. I will not begin to tell you what I have seen here in this country, but let's just say that God has put us together to help...
BE NOT AFRAID… "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9 "… I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage…" Joshua 1:5-6 Jesus said, "… I will never...
Nazalie (Rachael) is a precious little girl...very sweet. When she was a baby, her mother, who already had four children, died in childbirth. Her dad could not take care of her (or did not want to take care of her), and he brought her to us. We all call her Rachael but her real birth name is Nazalie. She is now ten years old and in the fourth grade and makes good grades. She is on the praise dance team here at Love A Child and never misses a step! She loves people and wants to be a nurse. The other kids call her "anti-stress!" She doesn't worry...
This morning, we left for Madamn Adeline’s orphanage in a village called St. Michelle. Bobby, Philemond, and I had a good time giving the children handmade cars from our friend Howard, and darling dresses from Marianela Salazar/ Nela of the Poor. Her little orphanage children, as well as other children in the neighborhood, have school inside the orphanage at their desks. The children, who once had red hair from malnutrition, now...
Education and developing skills are a sure path to a better life in Haiti. Our new class of Sustainable Agriculture in Haiti students are all too happy to get dirty and worn out working to learn new useful skills for successful, sustainable gardening in Haiti. Yesterday and today, the six students have been learning basic soil science...
We are on our way to Madamn Adeline’s orphanage. She and her children were living in a “mud-and-stick” shack (all 30 of them) until we met! God gave us a great burden to help her. Later, we found out that she had been going up on top of a high mountain each Monday to pray...
