This beautiful girl is Stephanie Mathyr. Stephanie and her brother Georges came to our Love A Child Children’s Home when she was just a few months old. Her mother Elmice Maricile died of starvation, and her father could not care for them. When Stephanie arrived at our children’s home, she was hungry, sickly and never...
We want to thank everyone for their prayers and concerns during the crisis in Haiti last week. We are fine. Due to warnings from the American Embassy, we have canceled a team and other visitors who were scheduled to come to Love A Child. Someone just warned us that things might “start to heat up...
“The Battle is the Lord's…” 1 Samuel 17:15-48 This is probably one of the most famous of all stories in the Bible… David and Goliath. The Israelites were on one side and the Philistines on the other, with a valley between them. Each day, the nine-foot-tall giant came out with full battle armor, a heavy...

By faith, the Birthing Center will be finished by the end of December. By faith, all the money will come in! This center will...
Bobby, Kaeli and I were all eating lunch, when all of a sudden we got a call from our Security Guards that there was a "mob" of people from Old Letant and New Letant (Kingdom Connection Village) at the front gate. Hearing this, Kaeli and I jumped in the car! They were told they would...
“For there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few.” 1 Samuel 14:6 In 1 Samuel 14, Saul and the army of God are facing the Philistines, again. At this time, there had been no “iron workers” in Israel. The Israelites had no weapons, no swords or spears. They only had their sickles, plow...
Haiti is suffering now more than ever before... The seasonal rains have come too late and too little. Many families have lost their gardens, their animals, and their hope.
