Victory report! The Malnutrition Center is under construction even through all these problems and turmoil in Haiti. Mark Ostrander could not come last week or this week due to the danger on the roads. Our Love A Child missionary Doug Lackey is here overseeing the project and Mark has been on the phone with him....
“Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged.” Matthew 7:1 My sweet mother went to be with the Lord a few years ago. She was a saint. She paid her tithes, went to church, helped people and did not believe in talking bad about anyone, or gossiping. You could say she practically “walked on water.” I...
It’s so hard to believe that this little guy lived through the “hell” that his parents put him through. Noah was found outside our front gate, on the ground… left to die. He was malnourished, had been beaten, and had some of his teeth knocked out. He had no hair and was near death....
Although the streets here in Haiti are still dangerous, we can manage to “sneak away,” carefully with food items or clothing to villages nearby. We received “blankets and Bibles” from Lutheran Mission Attic Workshop. You cannot believe how these moms and dads hovered over these wonderful gifts. When we said “blankets for babies,” everyone went...
We really appreciate all the wonderful organizations that send gifts here to the people and children of Haiti! These beautiful t-shirts came from “Angels of Hope.” Love is real! They also sent in wonderful Christian coloring books that our children are working on now. In the midst of all of Haiti’s problems these beautiful gifts...

What a tough little guy and such a "hard worker!" You can put this little guy up against the "big boys" playing soccer. He is very quiet and shy, but very hardworking. He will do any kind of job, and he will do it really well… And he never complains! He makes very good grades...
Thank you for your prayers. Farmer John made it back home by helicopter! John lives here at Love A Child and has the butcher shop and restaurant at Gwo Maché Mirak (Grand Miracle Market). Farmer John also has a missionary organization named IFOSUD, which helps to teach Haitians how to grow and farm, etc. John was...
Today and tomorrow are known as a Voodoo holiday here in Haiti. Fet Gede (All Souls Day) is a national holiday in Haiti… Vodouisants will go to cemeteries to pray, offer food, drink, and flowers known as peristyles for the entire night and many during the day. Some Haitians call it "talking to the dead...
"One last peek…" Some people just have to have it. "I'll just smoke one more cigarette, and that will be my last… I'll just have one more piece of chocolate cake, and then I'll go on a diet… I'll just work two more years, so I can pay off my car, and then I'll obey...
