Today and tomorrow are known as a Voodoo holiday here in Haiti. Fet Gede (All Souls Day) is a national holiday in Haiti… Vodouisants will go to cemeteries to pray, offer food, drink, and flowers known as peristyles for the entire night and many during the day. Some Haitians call it "talking to the dead...
"One last peek…" Some people just have to have it. "I'll just smoke one more cigarette, and that will be my last… I'll just have one more piece of chocolate cake, and then I'll go on a diet… I'll just work two more years, so I can pay off my car, and then I'll obey...
"My two front teeth!" Ha! Little Samuel is being well taken care of by Mikalange, one of the three sets of twins here at our Love A Child Children’s Home. Mikalange is sharing her food with little Samuel, who has lost his two front teeth. Samuel is about four years old and extremely timid and...
Look at this newborn baby that was born at our Love A Child Birthing Center a few months ago… Her name is Antoine Jepsen Vania Silien. When she was born, her mother didn’t even want to hold her. Her father wanted nothing to do with her. Our midwives (fanm saj in Creole) came and held...
I had asked you to pray for Farmer John, who has the butcher shop inside Gwo Maché Mirak (Grand Miracle Market) next door and who is also a missionary. He also lives here at Love A Child. He went to deliver meat the other day and cannot get home because of all the roadblocks and riots....
Big Daddy is ready to roll to Santo Domingo to pick up 73,500 pounds of rice, beans, and cooking oil to bring back here to Haiti. Please take a look at the video. They are packing the food right now in the Dominican Republic and with Haitian laborers! I cannot give out all of the details right...
WHAT YOU WANT, YOU MAY NOT NEED… Let me tell you a story… Years ago, just before I met sherry, I had gone into an orange grove in Florida with my friend, John Mahon. We prayed all night from dusk until dawn under the orange tree. I was praying for one thing only. I was praying...
I will never forget the first time I saw him. We were deep in the mountains of Covant in a Mobile Medical Clinic. This poor father held his malnourished son in his arms… Swollen face and belly… His legs were splitting open from kwashiorkor malnutrition. I thought he was about a year old, but he was...
Healthcare in Haiti is so important! This young woman is Andrelinne Propere and she is 19 years old. She is from the village of Old Letant, not far from us. She has what they call an aneurysm bone cyst. She went to one hospital (I won’t say which one it was) and they didn’t want...
I'm hoping to have pictures today to share with you of the food being packed in the Dominican Republic. The first load will be 73,500 pounds, hopefully… We are concerned about whether our container can hold this much weight. Haiti is in a food crisis because of all the political and economic problems. The children are breaking...
