The story of Peter is a remarkable story… He begins his meeting with Jesus as a rough, tough fisherman. Jesus says, “follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” We read the stories of Jesus’ miracles as Peter watches. He finds himself along with others on a boat[…]
Our children had such a great time with Haley Ostrander this week! Haley jumps right in there with the kids like she has known them forever! They all love her, and I know they will be waiting for her to come back! Thank you, Haley, for the great time you[…]
Burns are common in Haiti… especially “charcoal burns.” Many children fall into a charcoal fire, or into pots of hot boiling water, while under a “mud-and-stick tent.” But there are many other ways that Haitians will get a bad burn… This is 19-year-old Noelda Jeune. She lives with her mother[…]
The Birthing Center is receiving its second coat of paint today! Some of our older children have become excellent painters. They don’t drop a bit of paint on the floor. Jesse Ostrander and his daughter, Haley, are doing a tremendous job. Thank you, partners and friends, for helping make this dream come[…]
“Small Things…” We are living in a day and time when everyone wants to do “a big thing.” I have met wonderful missionaries in Haiti, and when asking about their work they say, “I only have ten children in my orphanage…” Or in the States, a pastor might say, “We[…]
These two are too cute not to share with you!! This is Dorissant and Natalie from our Love A Child Children’s Home. They are all smiles and full of happiness! They bring so much joy to everyone around them!!! We love them so much! Love, Kaeli
Haiti is a strange country… The Haitians used to tell me, “One day you see them, the next day they are gone.” Tuesday, our missionary, Kaeli, had gone to Old Letant with a young visiting girl, Haley Ostrander, age 12. She is pictured on the boat with all of the[…]
Yesterday, and today, is a very popular holiday to celebrate “Labor and Agriculture” throughout Haiti. At Love A Child, our Agricultural Training Center staff had prepared a big day-long celebration for the community and hundreds of joyous Haitians came to participate. Even many of our kids from the Love A Child[…]
DON’T STAY DEFEATED!! Everybody falls. Champions get back up!! Peter had a great personal failure. When he denied his Lord three times, he knew he had failed his master. “And he went out, and wept bitterly.” (Matthew 26:75) But somehow, in his relationship with Jesus, he caught a glimpse of God’s mercy! Peter[…]
We had so much fun today planting trees at Gwo Maché Mirak (Grand Miracle Market) and at Pastor Claude’s new orphanage! We are teaching the children the importance of agriculture and how it plays a big part in their culture. Without plants, Haitians have no life! This is where they[…]
