"Just Use What You Got." There is a parable in the Bible in Matthew 25 about a landowner who had to travel to a far country. So, he called his stewards and gave them money to invest while he was gone… to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one....
This week’s big ATC (Agricultural Training Center) harvest for the Love A Child kitchens shows us a few different things. In addition to the leeks, Scotch Bonnet peppers, and the epinard spinach you see the guys with, there are Roma tomatoes and what is probably the last picking of the Pak Choi (Bok choi, Chinese...
“Who Does God Use?” That’s a good question. It seems to me that God uses “nobodies” a lot more than “somebodies!” When God called David, he was a teenager taking care of his father’s sheep. If you were looking for someone to fight off a 9-foot giant and all his gear, it wouldn’t be a...
Day after day, work continues here in Haiti. Often unseen, always meaningful. Big tasks and small. Every step forward is a step toward a better Haiti! Love A Child is committed.

Bianca has always been interested in psychiatry! She is in college in Haiti, taking tough subjects, and is a “hardworking” young lady. We took Bianca and her siblings into our orphanage when Bianca was just a little girl. Her parents died when their small boat, loaded with Haitians, was upturned in a storm! They were...
We thank God for our plumbing crew. We had a pipe that was failing, and large amounts of water were saturating the ground. The huge pipe was mended, and now we are back up and running with water. It is probably something you don't think about, but having water means life. For us in Haiti,...
“Don’t Stay in the Pigpen!” All of us make mistakes. We are human. All of us fail the Lord. I know I have, more than you. But the good thing is that “He is right there to pick us up again…” We began our ministry on the streets, preaching to African Americans in a poor...
He was brought to us when he was very small. One of his parents was in prison, and the other did not want to be bothered with a child! When Christian was about five, (this picture), we took him into our orphanage. At about that time, we had a big crusade near the area where...
