Early this morning, the cooks at our Haitian orphanage started cooking the Haitian soup called “Soup Jumou.” It is “pumpkin soup,” and as explained earlier, all Haitians want to eat this soup on New Year’s Day, even if they have to go hungry all week! This soup represents the freedom and independence of the Haitian...
January 1st represents Haitian Independence Day in Haiti. The traditional meal for New Year's morning is pumpkin soup full of vegetables, root plants, meat, and Haitian pumpkins. The Love A Child team toiled all night on the 31st of December to serve 289 prisoners in Anse a Veau pumpkin soup on New Year's Day! Hubert,...
Without a test, we can’t have a testimony! Do you have a testimony? Say, “Amen!” After Moses and the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, they had this testimony… Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord, “I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. The horse and rider hath he thrown into the sea...
Soup Joumou… This is that special soup that we told you about today. All Haitians must have this soup to start the new year off!! It represents "Haiti's Independence!" No matter if a Haitian does not have anything at Christmas, they "have to have," this pumpkin soup for New Year's Day! We made sure our...
The Haitians call this "Soup Joumou." If they have the money to buy the ingredients, they will eat it on January 1st, each year. But for those poor Haitians who have little or no money, it will be a sad day. This special soup was forbidden to the slaves during the French Colonial rule, but...
“When life gets stormy….” Luke 8:22 Storms are not fun, especially if you are in a small boat in Haiti! It happened to some missionaries and me when we were holding a Mobile Medical Clinic on La Gonâve Island. Bobby did not go because he was ministering in a crusade in the States. (This happened years ago.) For...

Sarah and her brother, Joseph, were brought to us from the mountains of Covant, Haiti. Both had Kwashiorkor Malnutrition (the same thing as Jackson, from our orphanage, had). Thankfully, they had a good doctor, and they survived. Sarah went to college two years ago to become a professional beautician and nail tech. She passed with...
On this last day of 2024, we look back and praise God for all He has done. Most of all, we want to thank God for His faithfulness! He has protected and sustained Love A Child. In the midst of a very chaotic Haiti, we have continued to serve the poor. The Jesus Healing Center...
Crybabies! I love to read about the great miracles that the Lord did for the children of Israel who had been slaves for over 400 years! God sent plagues over Pharaoh and Egypt to make Pharaoh let the people go! These plagues “never touched one of the Israelites.” Waters turned to blood, there were swarms...
