I had asked you to pray for Farmer John, who has the butcher shop inside Gwo Maché Mirak (Grand Miracle Market) next door and who is also a missionary. He also lives here at Love A Child. He went to deliver meat the other day and cannot get home because of all the roadblocks and riots....
Big Daddy is ready to roll to Santo Domingo to pick up 73,500 pounds of rice, beans, and cooking oil to bring back here to Haiti. Please take a look at the video. They are packing the food right now in the Dominican Republic and with Haitian laborers! I cannot give out all of the details right...
WHAT YOU WANT, YOU MAY NOT NEED… Let me tell you a story… Years ago, just before I met sherry, I had gone into an orange grove in Florida with my friend, John Mahon. We prayed all night from dusk until dawn under the orange tree. I was praying for one thing only. I was praying...
I will never forget the first time I saw him. We were deep in the mountains of Covant in a Mobile Medical Clinic. This poor father held his malnourished son in his arms… Swollen face and belly… His legs were splitting open from kwashiorkor malnutrition. I thought he was about a year old, but he was...
Healthcare in Haiti is so important! This young woman is Andrelinne Propere and she is 19 years old. She is from the village of Old Letant, not far from us. She has what they call an aneurysm bone cyst. She went to one hospital (I won’t say which one it was) and they didn’t want...
I'm hoping to have pictures today to share with you of the food being packed in the Dominican Republic. The first load will be 73,500 pounds, hopefully… We are concerned about whether our container can hold this much weight. Haiti is in a food crisis because of all the political and economic problems. The children are breaking...
Isaiah 43:2… What a great God we serve! Bobby and I had to make a trip from Port-au-Prince to Fond Parisien, where we live in Haiti. We knew that "things were very dangerous in Haiti, politically," but we had passed through these areas before to do feeding programs and we were not too worried. However,...
"You Can Never Have Enough Mechanics!" (in Haiti!) This is "Ti Bobby" under the hood of one of our "broken-down vehicles." (Reggie, the big guy, one of our workers, is on the left). Bobby loves learning about "how to fix vehicles," and since we always have something "that needs fixing" we are always in need...
Today, Sherry, Ezekiel, Philimond (our driver), and I had some very close calls on the road. We faced some bad roadblocks with gangs in Croix-des-Bouquets. Hundreds surrounded us, and many were beating on our ambulance. (This is the way we had to travel.) We could see all of the emotions of anger, frustration, and hopelessness on...
This is what hungry, poor children in Haiti want more than anything. If a school does not provide food, those children who come from the mountains will be sleepy and lethargic by 9:00 a.m. Mountain children usually have no food in the morning, so their parents will give them coffee with “sugar.” Since there is...
