The 400 Mawozo Gang is attacking the police station in Ganthier just down the road from Love A Child, which also protects us in Fond Parisien. Vicious gun battles are there and hundreds are running down the road toward us screaming, crying, and scared to death. Please pray... we are standing on Psalm 91. We...
Thanks to an anonymous family, we have been able to wire to South Haiti $20,000 for several tons of rice, beans, and cooking oil that is desperately needed. Hunger has been unbelievable there; the poor children of Haiti are suffering more than I can put into words. I woke up early this morning thinking about...
One of our greatest joys is teaching Haitians how to help themselves. Our sustainability initiatives take them out of the cycle of poverty and provide them with the skills necessary to support themselves and their families. At the Agricultural Training Center, Haitians learn how to have bountiful harvests despite dry, barren, and hostile conditions. They...
Keeping our families under Psalm 91. “Surely he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence […] Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall...
Yesterday evening, after we left Job at the hospital, we went to our Love A Child apartment to see Jackson. His two nurses stay with him. He is now on dialysis 12 hours per night. (He used to be on it for eight hours a night.) A special thank you to Jesse, Philemond, Kita, and...
When she was a baby, her parents had left on a "Haitian boat" headed for the States. The boat capsized, and they drowned. The baby was cared for by her aunt. She also had a sister, Bianca, and a brother, Raphael, but her aunt had no way to continue to feed and care for them....
There is no greater thing than to see a life changed “forever.” My best, most unforgettable story was of Joel, the witch doctor we won to the Lord in Old Letant. I know that I have told his story before, but I can still hear him say, “That old Joel that you knew before, is gone! You...
JOB IS DOING GREAT! Late this afternoon, Sherry and I went by to visit Job in the Santo Domingo hospital. Job was smiling and doing very well! Job had a knee operation, and he has long legs. Wow! Jesse and the Love A Child nurse, Kita, have been with Job since early this morning. Afterwards,...
I never thought Noah would live… I know I have shared his story recently, but seeing him in his school uniform is such a miracle for me to see! You see when Noah was a baby, his mother (or relative) abandoned him in the bushes near our front gate. It was dark and our guys...
We have just crossed the Haitian-Dominican border on foot and met our driver on the Dominican side! Looking forward to seeing Jackson and Job late this afternoon. Job's operation went well this morning. Tomorrow morning we will be leaving for Florida from Santo Domingo for our Love A Child board meeting next week in Fort...
