"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...
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. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for blessing the Haitian people... a very precious people, especially the children. Bryon Ray came to volunteer over two months ago. When I told him...
"The Moldy Bread." Have you ever been in a crossroad and didn’t know what to do, or which way to go? God always closes one door (and sometimes slams it) before he opens another. 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....
