02-22-2012 - 7:45 PM - This afternoon, Robert and I went back over to Miracle Village with our orphaned boys to clean up trash and pull weeds.  They all worked so hard!  Miracle Village was already pretty clean so our boys just did a little maintenance.  The people really take care of their neighborhood and yard.  John Pierre helped us.  He lost nine family members in the earthquake.  Bobby

3:45 PM - We are in desperate need of 1,400 Hygiene Kits for poor families.  All products should be travel size so they can easily fit inside a two gallon zip lock bag.  Please send travel size lotion, conditioner, shampoo, toothpaste, small Kleenex packages and hand sanitizer.  This is a great Mission Project for churches or small Bible study groups.  Please pray about this need, and if you can participate, call our Love A Child office at (239) 210-6107 and let the staff know that your group will be sending the items.  Make sure you read Sherry's Journal today.  Thanks, Sherry

12:30 PM - Robert, Matt, a bunch of our kids and I just got back from taking new furniture to Miracle Village for the houses that the Vineyard Church Team helped to build.  The people were so happy!  What a blessing to the poor earthquake victims.  God is a good God! Bobby and Sherry

6 AM - Last night was the end of the Haitian Mardi Gras.  Thousands were in the streets all over Haiti!  Today all those Haitians are resting.  Right behind a part of our security wall at the back of the LAC Village, there is a small Voodoo house which is used for Voodoo Ceremonies!  We plead the blood of Jesus!  Bobby

02-21-2012 - 7 PM - Today, all the little orphaned girls worked in the warehouse with Carole.  Most of the boys worked with Robert in the school yard, pulling and raking grass.  Sandra worked all day putting a desk together for the new pharmacy office.  Bob worked to keep all the motors running!  We live by generator power here in Haiti.  Robert, Durkje, Debbie and Matt returned from the Dominican Republic.  Carlos is still in the D.R. taking care of Love A Child business.  God bless the volunteer LAC missionaries!  Bobby

12 Noon – I just heard from Nelio, our Haitian Director, that the LAC Market Place land deal may be finalized by Thursday.  Everyone keep praying!  We believe the Market Place will bring prosperity to this whole area.  There is 90% unemployment where we live!  Bobby

 

If you are a dentist with a heart for the poorest of the poor, Love A Child needs you (2-3 dentists) to participate in a future Mobile Dental Clinic.  You will provide dental care to the poorest people who have NO access to care. Most will have acute problems and majority of procedures will be extractions. Your accommodations will be in Love A Child Village and team will work in three surrounding villages. You will improvise dental chairs and relieve much pain and suffering. Please contact Shar, our Team Coordinator, at 239-210-6107.

Nelio

 Meet Wilson Barthelemy, better known to all of us as Nelio.  He is the director of all of our Love A Child projects and outreaches.  He has worked for us for twenty years.  He is responsible for all we do in Haiti...our feeding programs, our schools, getting our containers out of Customs, hiring new people, all of our licenses, and the maze of hoops we jump through, just to survive.  We do not know what we would do without Nelio.  He is our gift from God.

We want to thank you for visiting our website because this means you are someone whose heart has compassion for those living in poverty in Haiti. We are the Founders and Directors of Love A Child. We moved to Haiti in July, 1991 as full time missionaries, and we can say that this has been the greatest joy of our lives.

If you are interested in feeding the hungry, sponsoring a child, building a missions project, or traveling into the “regions beyond” on foot, four-wheel drive, or even by mule or donkey, then this is the mission website for you!  We also invite you  to visit “Sherry’s Journal,” a daily, cultural diary of life on the mission field of Haiti!

God bless you,
Your Missionaries in Haiti
