“I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.” Psalm 16:7 – I can’t tell you the number of times the Lord has awakened me in the middle of the night with a word of instruction or encouragement. Be sensitive to God’s voice, no matter what time it is. Sometimes that’s the only time we are quiet enough for Him to get a word in. Have a blessed day. Bobby

You may remember Miliana from the village of Madamn Bauje, she was sitting in the dirt, and chewing on her arm when we first saw her. She was pitiful, had a horrible skin infection and was severely malnourished. Miliana didn’t cry or even look up at us because she was so weak. We could not leave her in that village so we brought her to the orphanage. Miliana has received hot delicious meals, medical care for her skin infection and lots of love. Now, she smiles, goes to school and loves playing with her siblings. We thank our partners for changing Miliana’s life. God bless you, Bobby and Sherry

We welcome the David Balsbaugh missionary family who are joining us here at Love A Child in Haiti. We are also blessed to have with us Mark Ostrander, one of our Board of Directors, David George from Atlanta, GA, and Rad Hazelip, the Assistant Executive Director of Love A Child. We could not do anything here in Haiti without the help of these missionaries, friends and co-workers! We are a great team! Bobby and Sherry

“Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.” Psalm 8:2 – We wish you could hear the way our orphanage children sing praises to the Lord. It’s so beautiful. And according to this scripture, it is a powerful force against the enemy. Remember to always give our great God praise, especially in the middle of a great trial. There is POWER in our praise! We love you. Bobby and Sherry

Education changes the lives of children here in Haiti. It gives them more than a “hand-out,” EDUCATION gives children dignity with a “hand-up!” Many of our own children from our Love A Child Orphanage are growing up, going to school, and some are going to universities for more education. These children are going to be “life changers!” Be sure to see the next “Sherry’s Journal” that will post tomorrow! Blessings, Bobby and Sherry

This morning David George and I dedicated Pastor Claude’s new two-story school in La Tremblay, Haiti! Thank you David George and your partners for planting a seed in this school. By faith, we are going to try and raise as much money as possible so that they can pay their teachers, and all the other expenses. Faith doesn’t know we don’t have the money! Bobby

“Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.” Psalm 112:5 – As we show favor today, remember that you will also reap favor and good is coming back to you. God bless you! Bobby

You may remember this “little sweetie.” Her name is Mika Burnette and she was found starving to death in the village of Madamn Bauje. When we found her, we thought she was about nine-months-old. It turned out that she was really two-years-old, but looked so young because of severe malnutrition. She could not walk or talk. When we brought her to our Love A Child Orphanage, everyone gave her lots of love and attention, and of course she received proper nutrition. Today, she is happy, healthy and smiles all the time. Thank you partners for saving another child in Haiti. God bless you, Bobby and Sherry

Haitian children LOVE going to school! It is a great privilege. They must have books, uniforms, school shoes, and a backpack! These are just “some” of the Love A Child children walking to school. We have children of all ages from toddlers to high school students and “kids are kids!” We are so blessed with wonderful sponsors for our children. God bless you! Bobby and Sherry

“For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12 – Don’t be concerned about what you may have to face today. God’s shield of favor is protecting you! Have a blessed day. Bobby
