The village of Madamn Bauje is a very poor village, full of straw and mud huts, dusty roads and thorn bushes. It is like a desert. Though all of Haiti often suffers from a water crisis, this village was unable to find water even after digging several wells. We have helped this village for many years with water and food distributions, a new school and church and a Mobile Medical Clinic. Read Sherry’s Journal today to learn more about the village of Madamn Bauje, where we have served with your support for many years. Bobby

“God’s Ways Are Perfect…” Part Two – “The Love Story”
Yesterday, we saw how God sent Naomi and Ruth back to Bethlehem…”at the beginning of barley harvest.” What a perfect plan. Ruth, the young, beautiful widow goes every day to glean in the fields and ends up in the section of the “older and very rich Boaz.” He was a man of mighty wealth. She has the “favor of God on her life, and she soon gains the favor of Boaz.” Naomi, her mother-in-law, sees this as God’s plan. She tells Ruth what to do and Ruth is obedient. When Boaz goes to sleep on the threshing floor, (a little too much wine) she uncovers his feet and lies down as a sign that she is also “next of kin.” Long story short…Boaz buys Naomi’s land, and marries Ruth. Ruth has a child. Grandma is happy, and oh yes, the child’s name is Obed. He will be the grandfather of a young man named, “David,” who will be the lineage of Jesus! And to think, some of us don’t have enough faith to believe that “God knows what He is doing and His ways are perfect!” Wow! Sherry -

This sweet little girl is Mika Burnette. We found this pitiful child in the village of Madamn Bauje, sitting in the dirt with brittle orange hair and sucking on her hand because she was so hungry. (Be sure to read my journal tomorrow about “The Village of Madamn Bauje.”) We realized that she was suffering from severe malnutrition, as she was unable to walk. We thought she was about nine-months-old, but she was actually two-years-old, we were shocked! Her stepmother wasn’t taking care of her and left her in the dirt, while her old grandmother tried to care for her, but she was unable to find food for Mika. We knew we could not leave her in the village because she would have died of starvation and neglect. We brought her to our Love A Child Children’s Home and started feeding her nutritious food and giving her lots of love from our big family. She is growing into a sweet, young girl with boundless energy, who is always laughing. She is very outgoing, and we find her always in the middle of many activities. Thank you, partners, for saving another child in Haiti. Love Is Something You Do! Bobby and Sherry
