Yesterday, and today, is a very popular holiday to celebrate “Labor and Agriculture” throughout Haiti. At Love A Child, our Agricultural Training Center staff had prepared a big day-long celebration for the community and hundreds of joyous Haitians came to participate. Even many of our kids from the Love A Child Children’s Home came to plant...
DON'T STAY DEFEATED!! Everybody falls. Champions get back up!! Peter had a great personal failure. When he denied his Lord three times, he knew he had failed his master. "And he went out, and wept bitterly." (Matthew 26:75) But somehow, in his relationship with Jesus, he caught a glimpse of God's mercy! Peter repented and asked the Lord's forgiveness....
We had so much fun today planting trees at Gwo Maché Mirak (Grand Miracle Market) and at Pastor Claude’s new orphanage! We are teaching the children the importance of agriculture and how it plays a big part in their culture. Without plants, Haitians have no life! This is where they find food to support their...
In Haiti, May 1st and 2nd are a big popular cultural holiday, “Labor and Agriculture Days,” where the country celebrates Haiti’s heritage as a labor and agriculturally based nation.

Do you remember, the other day when we asked you to pray that Jesse and his daughter, Haley, would be able to get the speaker system in through American Airlines for the Birthing Center?

I still love to hear the "old songs" we sang in church years ago... not many churches still sing songs like "The Old Rugged Cross." I always wondered about the part that said, "… till my trophies, at last, I lay down…" I began to think, "What are my trophies?" The trophies are the ones whose lives...
How many eggs does it take to feed your household? I bet it doesn’t take this many!! Haha! This is Jolina. She helped me gather the eggs for tomorrow morning’s breakfast! Oh, and let me just say, trying to keep these eggs from breaking on the bumpy “Haiti” road is a game in itself!!! We...
Each day the lines at our Jesus Healing Center become longer and longer as people come from the mountains and other parts of Haiti. The word has gotten out about our clinic, and people are talking about it on the local "tap-taps" as they ride to and from selling their vegetables, or even on the streets,...
It is amazing to me that Jesus, the Son of God, Savior of the World, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, had such a variety of people in His "congregation." A sinful prostitute, taken in adultery by the scribes and Pharisees… the woman at the well, who had five husbands and was about to add...
Look at these two silly boys!!! This is Joshua and Fritzner enjoying their Monday afternoon. We hope you have had a Monday as happy as these boys have! We love you! Love, Kaeli
