Each day, our beautiful Love A Child Birthing Center is a blessing to the poor Haitian mothers. They are coming from "many areas" because everyone is talking about the wonderful care they receive; the clean beds, the food, the staff, and our wonderful midwives (also called “Fanm Saj” in Creole). We have Christian music playing, and...
How can we turn our back on a real need, when God puts it right in front of us? The Bible says, "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?" I John 3:17 There...
Our little Samuel from here at our Love A Child Children’s Home is ready for church and looking so cute! Samuel, with his big smile and chunky cheeks, will steal anyone’s heart, any day! He is always so happy and such a loving little boy! He looks like a “little man” walking to church with...
This is Tracie, a little child here in Haiti. You may think she has just been "shopping for her mother," but look again. Those are empty plastic bottles. Tracie is just one of the hundreds of children living and trying to exist in one of Haiti's largest garbage dumps, Truttier. Imagine your parents "moving into...
When we pray, we always expect God to say "yes." But what happens when God says "no?" I was reading II Corinthians 12:7-8 and Apostle Paul was wrestling with something that he needed from the Lord. "And for this thing, I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.” And He (the Lord), "said...
We have a lot of cleaning going on around the house today! Saturdays are good days to catch up on duties around the house. Each Saturday morning, we get a lot of work done so that we can spend the afternoon playing outside! When the kids are doing work around the house they turn the music...
Yesterday was the big "Kindergarten Graduation" at our Love A Child School. Each year, we give the school an "offering" to cover these "graduation expenses." This graduation was "three hours long." It is a custom of schools in Haiti (not mountain schools). This is a big "shin-dig!" Relatives come from all over to see these little...
“David recovered all.” 1 Samuel 30:19 Has the devil ever robbed you of something? Your job? Your house? Something you loved? In this chapter, David has returned to his city of Ziklag, and found out that the enemy had come in and burned the city to the ground. They had taken wives and children captive, along...
Look at these two girls all dolled up! It’s a very rare thing to see Jolina and Mika from our Love A Child Children’s Home “all dressed up.” These two are not “girly girls” at all!! If you would let them, they would stay outside all day long playing soccer and basketball! They are tough,...
I was walking by the steps in our Love A Child Children’s Home and little Noah said “Poppy, can I put on your hat?” I just love little Noah. If you remember, he was left at our front gate when he was a baby. He had been abused by his father… he was beaten up and...
