“Every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” John the Baptist, Luke 3:9 He looked like a crazy man living in the desert alone with God, eating locusts and wild honey, and having his loins gird about with camel’s hair. Who would ever believe this “strange...
Christian is 14 years old and in the 8th grade. This small, little guy has a giant voice reminiscent of an angel. He was brought to us when he was just about five years old. His mother had died, and his father was sent to prison, so there was no one to care for him....
UPDATE: Food and fish distribution changed to Tuesday. The government of Haiti is not allowing any commercial flights into Haiti. I'm hearing "maybe not until July 20th." No one knows for sure. Sherry and I are traveling today over to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to catch a private flight into Haiti. We have received permission from the Haitian government to arrive. We are looking forward to distributing...
"Take the Limits Off of God!" Do we realize that God does "just what our faith wants Him to do?" So many times we "stretch to believe God for something small," but really God wants us to believe for something big!! Psalm 78:40-41 declares, "How oft did they provoke Him in the wilderness, and grieve...

We built them a house in Miracle Village and Madamn Sonia went "right to work," teaching young ladies how to make purses and other items from scraps! Then Wilner, who is the “chief” of our Agricultural...
We are so proud of our Haitian Children here at Love A Child. Jean Edwouard, who is our painter, also has a gift of sewing and doing alterations! He is invaluable! When he found out that we were running out of masks, he made sure that everyone got a "special one!" He and the other...
"Fear Not!" Someone once said that the "greatest thing we have to fear is fear itself." I never really understood the meaning of the "spirit of fear" until we moved to Haiti. I have come to find out that Haitians are full of fear. They fear the witchdoctor, an evil spell. If someone gets sick, it...
Betina is one of our little sweeties here at Love A Child. She is ten years old and in third grade. She is sweet and always inquisitive. She works hard in the kitchen, with whatever the ladies want her to do! When this picture was taken, it was about 4:30 a.m., and she and some...
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...
