Attending a church service in Haiti has many things in common with the states, and many things different. The Haitians really respect their church and their pastor. But, as many in the U.S. might leave their church for one reason or another, a Haitian would probably “leave claw marks on the wall,” if someone asked...
"If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. And He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name,...
Abandoned! Joshua was abandoned in front of our gate. He was severely malnourished and was about 11 months old. He could not sit or crawl. He was taken to our “Jesus Healing Center” Clinic and from there, to a children’s hospital. When he “got going” he took off on “all fours!” You can look at...
Updates: Our Love A Child website/Facebook post will continue tomorrow. Sherry will have her 6:00 p.m. update on the children today, as always. Our prayers and thoughts are with the families of the two American missionaries who were murdered. We do not have words to express. Bobby and Sherry

The donor wants to highlight the work of Love A Child by attracting "new" donors and asking current donors to increase their giving. The donor will match all donations from new...
Ginyia’s mother died during a "C-section." Her father then left for the Dominican Republic and “never came back!” She was raised by her 17-year-old cousin. But when it was too much to “go to school and take care of a baby," she took "Baby Ginyia" to the Department of Social Services. They called us and...
Last evening around 9 PM just north of Port-au-Prince, three truckloads of gangs broke through the gates of the Missions in Haiti Mission Compound which had an orphanage, among many other wonderful things. Davy and Natalie Lloyd were killed last evening after armed gangs attacked their missionary property and set their bodies on fire along...
Jean Richard has been with us since “right after” the 2010 earthquake when the orphanage he was living in collapsed! He graduated from Love A Child Philo (High School) and then we sent him to a special college for advanced computer technology and keyboard lessons. He is excellent in both! He just arrived here at...
