Almost a year ago, we started working on a new sustainability project to establish a local person in the business of growing and selling vetiver grass. Vetiver grass is a very useful plant that grows well in Haiti. It is valuable for its large, strong root system which stabilizes soil against erosion and also for the...
WALKING BY FAITH… “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 At the beginning of our ministry, the Lord told me to fast and pray for 21 days and nights, just on water. I told Sherry that I had to do this by myself. A lady gave me a little shack to pray and fast in...
Samuel loves to cook! I remember the day when an old Haitian mountain man came down to see us. He was carrying his infant son, Samuel. His wife had died and he had other children to take care of and knew he could not take care of an infant. He was a poor man, with...
Thank you for another load of rice! This morning our Love A Child workers unloaded another load of rice from the port. Casimir, our container driver, had to go through gangs and very dangerous areas to bring the rice to us. This Friday, we will be purchasing as many fish as we can to distribute...
"A Big Thank You To Bryon Ray!" We are thankful for all the volunteers through these years who have come and worked in Haiti at Love A Child.

We all get in a position many times, when we need to "ask counsel of the Lord." Joshua was a tremendous leader and was God's choice to...
We took Jovanie in to live with us when she was just about six. She had "red hair," from malnutrition, and it took a long time for her hair to turn black. Jovanie is very intelligent and graduated from a nursing college in Leogane, Haiti. After that, she went to Hinche, Haiti to become a midwife...
One of the most urgent needs for Haiti right now, is "feeding Haiti's hungry children." Poor children who live in mud huts, and ripped tents, and those in many areas of Haiti, are hungry, right now, while you are reading this post. We just used up the last container of "Feed My Starving Children," meals....
WE HONOR OUR HEROES THIS SPECIAL DAY. On this Memorial Day, we honor all of the men and women who have given their lives for our freedom. We honor you who have been wounded or lost a limb or have been disabled. We give you honor and special respect for your sacrifice. You have paid the price for us....
"In the Presence of Mine Enemies" Psalm 23 is one of my favorite places in the Bible. David said, "Thou preparest a table before me, in the presence of mine enemies." Psalm 23:5 We have all kinds of "enemies." Your enemy can even be "someone you fear..." Years ago, before we moved to Fond Parisien, Haiti,...
