01-27-2012 - 2:30 PM - Take a look at this Earthquake News article about Haiti and the Dominican Republic.  We need to prepare for the next disaster...not if, but when it happens.  Please be in prayer.  Sherry

11:30 AM - We just finished a distribution of food, donated by our friends at Feed My Starving Children and sponsored by our LAC partners.  This was a new area to distribute food, but very needy.  See "Sherry's Journal" later this week... God bless, Bobby & Sherry

The Food Distribution in Fond Parisien will be today, not yesterday. (My mistake)  Be sure to see Sherry's Journal today about a story of a "village drunk" whose life has changed...all because of love.  Sherry

01-26-2012 - 7:00 PM - The Jesus Healing Center ambulance just returned from another successful Vaccination Program, headed up by our missionary and medical director, Carole Stufflebeam.  Today they vaccinated 200 children in the mountains!   The Community Clinic was open for a second day, and between yesterday and today, we served 126 mothers with malnourished babies.  Great job Carole!  God bless you, partners!  Sherry

1:30 PM - We just got back from dedicating a playground for the “Reach Out for Haiti” orphanage.  Oh, the children were so happy!  God bless Life Church, Pastor Randy and his Dream Team of volunteers, “Kids Around the World,” and all of us working together to make children happy in Haiti!  This is the second playground this week!   Bobby 

10:00 am - The Lord laid this scripture on our hearts early this morning.  This is great for everyone, but especially for all of us missionaries.  "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." Matt. 10:16 Wow! What a word for us today!  Sherry

6 AM - Our Haitian Director, Wilson Barthelemy, sat with us yesterday to affirm how important it is to feed the hungry in Haiti.  He explained that his own Haitian people are suffering more now, than ever before...it was so touching.  Today, at 10:00 AM, we will have a Food Distribution here in the city of Fond Parisien.  On Saturday, we have 44 organizations coming here for food, and on Monday, we have a special feeding program where four villages come together to receive food.  Sherry


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.
Urgent Needs...We are in desperate need of the following items in large amounts for our Orphanage:  Disposable Diapers Sizes 1,2,3, Large Bottles of Shampoo, Toothpaste, Baby Powder (lots), Large bottles of Lotion, Large bars of Bath Soap, Ajax and Paper Towels.  Please send to Love A Child, Inc.,  12411 Commerce Lakes Drive, Fort Myers, FL  33913  They will send these to us in the next container to Haiti.  Thanks and God bless, Sherry

 

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
