"That Fiery Trial, Again." "For the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” Deuteronomy 13:3 When we moved to Haiti in July of 1991, we found ourselves in the midst of the "Great Embargo." That meant, "nothing coming in and...
This cute young girl is Esther Louis, and she and her sister Widlene came to the Love A Child Orphanage many years ago. Her mother had shown up at the orphanage gate one day asking us to please take her two children because she thought she was dying. We put the mother in the hospital,...
The walls of Jericho were high and two chariots wide. "When the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city." Joshua 6:16 — You know the story of Joshua and his men praised God and shouted and the walls of Jericho fell down flat! They...
These are the latest pictures from this week of Madamn Adeline's orphanage that we are building for her and the children in the mountains of Haiti. Soon these children will have a new home! No more sleeping on a mud floor. Thank you Dr. Pat, Debbie, and all your friends for the dollars to build...
You know the story about how Joseph’s brothers sold him as a slave into Egypt. I love this part. “But God was with him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his...
Today we distributed food in the villages of Madamn Bauje and Despeezo. Despeezo is a predominately Voodoo village. En route, we noticed this Voodoo stuff in the middle of the intersection of dirt roads. When I asked a man from the village, he said, “It’s for the witch doctor. He's sick and wants to get...
Right Out Of The Oven! Madam Rosier, all the way from Thoma, came to our Jesus Healing Center for her pregnancy check up. When she arrived at 7:00 AM, she said, "I cannot wait!" (We do not normally deliver babies... but the babies don't know that!!! Ha!) This little girl was born at 7:20 AM....
It's Not the “Fall” That Counts… Ever had a bad fall? We have a village that we work in here in Haiti called “Savaan Roche.” It is full of rocks! It is shaped like a “tea-cup.” You have to climb up to the rim of a mountain, and look deep below…that is Savaan Roche. The...
There is a Haitian Creole Proverb that says, "Those who share their food, never eat alone..." When we "share our food," God is always there to provide for us. I remember what it was like to be "hungry" as a child. But I also remember my mother "setting the table," and then praying for food....
“Forty Years in the Same Clothes…” How many times do we complain about “wearing the same thing?” The Haitian people never complain and they have very little. Usually, they have only one nice “Sunday” outfit, and when we have a Mobile Medical Clinic, they wear it. However, God gave one of His greatest miracles to...
