What sweet, sweet gifts we received from "Puritan Street Church of Christ." These are nice, soft, downy blankets, and to a mother, it is an unimaginable gift! They could never, never afford to buy a blanket like these! And some of these mothers live far away in the mountains!! What a great blessing and how...
"He's still the God of the valleys…” In 1st Kings 20, we see a great battle between Syria and Israel, and Israel won! The Syrians decided that Israel had won because "their gods are gods of the hills […] but let us fight against them in the plain (the valleys), and surely we shall be stronger than...
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....

But our three-week sustainable Agriculture Training Center (ATC) class gives both hope and dignity. We are announcing the...
"A Still Small Voice…” "… And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a...
Praise the Lord! Casimi and the rice made it safely to Love A Child this evening. He had some close calls, but the Lord protected him. Thank you for your prayers. Now we must get the food to the people, especially the children. Bobby Burnette
You may already know Jean Edwouard’s story of how he came to us. We were doing a food distribution in the village of Old Letant. I noticed a little boy, carrying water, gathering sticks, and making a fire to cook food. He was only six years old. He was a “restavek slave child.” His name...
We need your prayers! We are in the process of picking up 42,250 pounds of rice at the Port-au-Prince port to be distributed to the Haitian people. We cannot give you the day or time this week (for security reasons). Please pray for our driver Casimi who drives our semi-tractor with our 40-foot container that...
