Due to Haiti’s gangs and lack of security, it is very difficult for poor mothers to try to sell on the street. For many families, the mother is the “breadwinner” because fathers have abandoned their families for a better life in the Dominican Republic. As a result, we are receiving[…]
“An apple a day…”
In our “Edible Plant Nursery” project, we try to select good plants that are readily adaptable to conditions in Haiti, and that can be grown by any family or village to provide sustainable food and nutrition. We have written about the Soursop (Corossol/Guanabana), Papaya, Mangos, Mulberry, Breadfruit, and bananas in[…]
Word from the Mission Field
The Lord told Solomon in the third chapter of Kings that he could have anything he asked for. Solomon chose WISDOM above all the things he could have asked for. “For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.” Proverbs 8:11 –[…]
Bianca
Bianca and her siblings were brought to us by her aunt; they were from Cap-Haïtien, a city in the other part of Haiti. Apparently, the boat capsized and killed their parents and other poor families. They looked sad and hungry when their aunt brought them here. The kids immediately gave[…]
“Kindergarten at Love A Child”
Education here in Haiti is a dream! For children in the mountains, it is not easy… It’s almost impossible. These children are blessed because they are in a Love A Child School. They do not have to pay tuition, but their parents will supply the uniforms. This is a preschool[…]

Future Pilot, Joshua!
Joshua was abandoned in the weeds near the front of our gate. He was about 11 months old but could not stand or walk. We had to rush him to a children’s hospital. He was there for three weeks and then, the Department of Social Services released him to us.[…]
Two Orphanages Play Together…
Saturday, our good friend Pastor Claude asked if he could send children from his Ebenezer Orphanage to our orphanage on Sunday afternoon to play together! (We sponsor and support this orphanage every month!) Sunday afternoon his children arrived and they “hit the basketball court” and “turned the music up!” The[…]
Open for Business…
Our MAP International container, full of desperately needed medicines, arrived late Friday afternoon. We had to wait until this morning to open it because there were heavy pallets that needed a forklift, and our employees had already left… We were blessed to have purchased our “own container and our own[…]
Word from the Mission Field
“When all hope is taken away.” In Acts 27 Apostle Paul is a prisoner of the Gospel. He had done nothing wrong but his preaching stirred up the Jews. When he went before King Agrippa, the king sent him on to Italy. They had to travel by ship. Apostle Paul[…]
