“When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.” Deuteronomy 24:19 The gardens at Love A Child purposefully yield a bountiful harvest for...
"Why not praise Him?" I love the Old Testament stories, especially 1st and 2nd Samuel… I was reading this morning, the story again, about how King David brought back the Ark of the Lord from the threshingfloor of Obed-edom. He was bringing up the Ark of the Lord to the "City of David." He was so happy...
This is baby Zoey! She is wearing her “rad chale;” clothes with air holes! The ladies at our orphanage always cut holes in T-shirts or “onesies!” (I always thought it would just be better to put them in a diaper!) Little Zoey was found on the ground, abandoned, and sent to the Haitian Social Services...
We have been busy this morning packing new clothing to share with 90 other missionary organizations.

We are just “blown away” by this beautiful sportswear. We have held on to some...

So many people come to visit us here in Haiti....
Twins!! Our Birthing Center here at Love A Child is saving lives and preventing more children from becoming orphans. Many of the children here at our LAC Children’s Home are here because their mother died during childbirth and their father could not care for them, or because their mother died in childbirth and their father...
We think we have the best partners God could ever give anyone! We are so blessed with many “unseen” fellow laborers who make clothing, blankets, and other items. Sometimes, we have their names and other times they wish to remain anonymous, but the Lord knows who they are! Just look at these sweeties who are under the...
Haitians have a Creole proverb that says, “Those who share their food never eat alone.” We believe in “sharing.” We share our donated food each month with nearly 90 other missionary organizations. We wish we could add more to the list, but “our plate is full.” These sweeties are being cared for by our missionary...
"For God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble." I Peter 5:5 A powerful story is told in Luke chapter 15 of a man who had two sons. Both worked for their father, a wealthy man.
