Someone once asked me, "what is the hardest thing about living in Haiti? Is it the turmoil, the lack of having shopping centers or things to do? Is it political problems or violence in many areas?” I wish it were that simple, but it's not. It's finding a child, like "Rosemitha," with sad little eyes,...
"When the brook dries up…" Elijah, the prophet of God, had just finished prophesying to King Ahab that God was going to send a drought for three years in Israel. Then, the Lord told the prophet to "get out of town, head east toward the brook Cherith, and hide." God had already commanded the ravens to...
This is George. He just had a birthday on Tuesday. Stephanie (who you saw in a recent post) is George’s sister. Since he was 12, we haven’t been able to keep George off of anything with wheels. Unbeknownst to us, he began driving everything and anything with wheels! Soon, he was working with our Dominican mechanic,...
We just finished our third quarter Board Meeting today at the Love A Child Headquarters in Fort Myers, Florida. Our annual audit results were presented, and we are happy to report that 94 percent of our donations go directly to our program services in Haiti to help the poor. We know this is important to our...
It was just a week ago that we helped our friend, Pastor Claude, move his orphans into a nice, beautiful new home, thanks to some of our partners, like David George World Ministries and our Love A Child friends and partners! It was such a joy to see the children move into their new home,...
We are so blessed with the beautiful new Birthing Center and Women’s Health and Teaching Center. Many of our children at our Love A Child Children’s Home came to us because their mother died during or immediately after childbirth. This was always due to either the poor health of the mother or the “childbirth fever,” as...
"By a way ye know not…" Everyone has a need… Everyone who believes in God is praying for something… Deliverance for their child, an open door to college, a better job, a way to pay off your debt, and much more. You may have the path "figured out" the way you think it should work… You...
Sherry and I are in Fort Myers, Florida. We will be having dinner this evening with our Love A Child Board Members. Tomorrow, we will have our board meeting. We have a Love A Child board meeting every three months. The Bible says there is “wisdom and safety in counsel.” (Proverbs 11:14) We are thankful for a...
Are you the tail or the head? “And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them.” Deuteronomy 28:13 Are...
This is Stephanie. She is the sister of George, whom many of you know from our Love A Child Children’s Home. She just received the good news that she passed the difficult “philo test” here in Haiti! This is similar to the twelfth grade in the States, but much more difficult!! This is a major accomplishment...
