THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

“WHEN WE HELP FEED THE HUNGRY, WE ARE DOING IT UNTO JESUS HIMSELF.” MATTHEW 25:40

This weekend, children received a hot, nutritious meal that filled their hungry little stomachs in the southern village of Ka Ranimier in South Haiti.

The hard-working volunteer Love A Child team left early in the morning from Anse-a-Veau to prepare the food in five pots using Bobby’s favorite technique: three rocks over a wood fire. The children sang, clapped, and were so grateful for the one meal they might receive this weekend.

Thank you for continuing to pray and give to help enable Love A Child to be outstretched arms of love to the children of Haiti.

Love is something you do!

Word from the Mission Field

BE FAITHFUL IN THE SMALL THINGS: 

READ MATTHEW 25: 14-30

Mother Teresa once said, “God has not called me to be successful. He has called me to be faithful”. Everyone wants to do great things and be noticed, but the Lord wants us to learn to be faithful first.

Each day, God does big and small things for us. “For who has despised the day of small things?” Zechariah 4:10.

God blesses small, faithful things in a big way. What will God ask you to do today? Focus for today: If we can’t be faithful with the small things, how can the Lord trust us with the big things? Learn to be faithful with a few small things and he will bless your efforts. You will see what God can do!

I’m a Little Blessing!

Madamn Norah Pierre, like so many poor mothers here in Haiti, must be strong enough to face any situations that come along. When a husband abandons his wife and children there are no laws in Haiti that say, “You must pay child support or go to jail!”

Most Haitian men, especially those who are uneducated, want to have a lot of children so they can brag about how they had so many children! It seems that this a “status symbol,” in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Madamn Norah Pierre lives in a tiny house in Ganthier, (which is surrounded by gangs). She is a Christian, trying to raise four children. Her husband left her, pregnant, with four kids to support! He went to the Dominican Republic! During her pregnancy, the sound of gangs and gunshots filled the air, as it still does every night.

But, in spite of all this, she gave birth in our beautiful Love A Child Birthing Center, to an “adorable, baby girl!” (With no cost!)  She was surrounded by Christian nurses and San Famns (specialists who deliver babies). She not only left with a baby girl but with new clothes for her baby, diapers, toys, clothes, etc. Special thanks to our partner who sent us these adorable baby “onesies” marked “I’m a Little Blessing!” Thank you, partners!

Word from the Mission Field

“When life gets stormy….” Luke 8:22

Storms are not fun, especially if you are in a small boat in Haiti! It happened to some missionaries and me when we were holding a Mobile Medical Clinic on La Gonâve Island. Bobby did not go because he was ministering in a crusade in the States. (This happened years ago.) For some reason, we had to take a small Haitian fishing boat back to the mainland. A storm broke out, the dark clouds came upon us, and soon the wind and rain began to beat the little boat. We were praying, but truthfully, we were scared to death! But we learn lessons in the “storms of life” that we can never learn on “the sunny days.”

If we read the story in Luke 8:22, we will see that Jesus said, “Let Us go over unto the other side.” Don’t you know that the Master of the Seas knew ahead of time that the storm was coming? Of course, He did! He said, “Let Us go over unto the other side.” Yes, storms hit believers and those who love the Lord. But as long as we are anchored in Jesus, He will bring us through!

Oh yes, that “scary boat ride…” We all began singing and praising the Lord, and then safely reached the other side, just as Jesus knew we would! Have a great day and “ride the storm out!” You will make it!

Kindergarten Graduation at Love A Child

After living here in Haiti for “many years,” I have come to realize how much “Haitians love to dress up!” They especially love the children’s graduations from kindergarten! They buy used clothes and “look like a million dollars!” So today, was our “Love A Child Kindergarten Graduation!”

Zoey, the chunky, cute, little girl is ours, and Zachary, the little boy. When the kindergarten children came into our church, they did the “Graduation Dance Steps,” all the way up the aisle. Zachary, our youngest, began crying all the way up! He wanted no part in this “marching, dancing” stuff! There were songs, lots of speeches in French, and more dances. All the parents and relatives had their iPhones going, capturing every song and dance!

Zoey, our youngest, did a special dance but “Zachary” just wanted to go home!! Poor thing!

Even though the children were well-behaved and adorable, it was always fun to see the new “hair-do’s,” and fancy clothes the friends and adults bought (secondhand)! They all loved “the children,” their speeches, songs, and dances!”

The sweet Haitian people have been through so much stress for the last four years! This little sweet graduation brought everyone “great joy!” We want to thank Dieuferly Do’r (one of our grown children), for the wonderful photography! Thank you so much, friends and partners! Wish you could have been here.

Word from the Mission Field

“Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.”

When I was a little girl living in Pennsylvania, I remember my mother always telling me that “if we stand with Israel, God will stand with us. But if we turn our back on Israel, God will turn His back on us.” I can still hear her sweet voice telling me that. “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” Psalms 122:6

If ever there was a time when we need to lift up our voices and “pray” it is now. Israel is surrounded by enemies and “their enemies,” are our enemies. We know the Lord is coming soon! Take time to pray for Israel. Have a blessed day.

Ericka… An “Unstoppable Young Lady!”

After Ericka’s mother died, she became ill with a horrible skin infection and had severe malnutrition. She was being cared for by a neighbor, but Ericka was constantly crying and scratching. As she grew, she was also severely delayed and developed a speech problem. However, she communicates “very well!” School has been difficult for Ericka, but she won’t give up! She is now in 6th grade, is loving and kind, and never gives up on anything. Ericka also loves running and cleaning, and “dressing up for Church!” She is an “unstoppable young lady!”

Saving “Little Lives….”

Our Jesus Healing Center, sponsored monthly by Joyce Meyer Ministries/Hand of Hope, saves many lives… not only adults and children, but babies and toddlers. All babies and toddlers that come to our Jesus Healing Center are checked over by one of our doctors. Most mothers think their baby is sick, but they don’t understand how close to death their baby is. After very careful examination, they may be sent to our Malnutrition Clinic. If we have the baby in time, they will be brought back from death to life!! Our beautiful Malnutrition Clinic was built by Joyce Meyer Ministries/Hand of Hope.

We are very thankful for their “monthly sponsorship” of our Jesus Healing Center! Thanks to their support, the poor don’t have to worry about paying to go to our clinic, lab work, or medicines! The “poorest of the poor” are treated with love, kindness, and dignity. Any babies or toddlers who are underweight, very ill, or close to death will be transferred to our Malnutrition Clinic. Just take a moment and look at these sweet little lives that have been saved! (Note: The young girls volunteering at our Malnutrition Clinic are from our orphanage.) We love “saving little lives.” It is so precious to see them laughing, playing, and “waiting to go home!” It takes everyone working together to save lives!

LAC TV Program “Graceful Giving” Begins Saturday!

As Love A Child embarks on its journey to Mon Oreg, Sherry comes across a family where a child is dealing with a profoundly distressing and precarious injury. The touching reality surfaces as parents, driven to find work, leave their young children alone at home, vulnerable to unforeseen dangers. Forced to fend for themselves, these kids suffer injuries that remain unattended in the isolated mountains. Your support serves as a vital lifeline, empowering Love A Child to deliver crucial food and healthcare to these distressed villages. Additionally, it brings hope to the hopeless and sheds light on the narratives of the working children of Haiti.

We want to invite viewers around the world to tune in tomorrow afternoon to Daystar Television Network at 12:30 p.m. (ET) and then throughout the week. You can also watch us on DIRECTV, DISH Network, Christian Television Network, The Word Network, NRB, and many more local television stations. Check out our full schedule for the best way for you to tune in. You can also watch the program online through our Vimeo and YouTube channels or on our website www.loveachild.com under the “Media” tab.

Together we are changing lives!
