“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16— Everything you and I do together in Haiti, we do so the Haitians can see the goodness and love of the Lord. The end result is they may come to know the Lord. Love is something you do. Bobby and Sherry
You may remember Kristela from our Love A Child Orphanage. She was born in Savaan Pit where her mother practiced Voodoo. Kristela’s mother was very sick and came to one of our Mobile Medical Clinics. We were able to give her some medicine, and she accepted Jesus before dying twelve days later. Kristela’s father brought her to our orphanage. She was very malnourished and her hair was falling out. After proper nutrition and lots of love, Kristela’s health improved. Today, she helps pack medicine for Mobile Medical Clinics. Thank you partners for saving another life. Bobby and Sherry
Barbara, our missionary nurse leading our Malnutrition Program, is in desperate need of Birthing Kits for pregnant Haitian mothers. We are requesting a “call-to-action” among all our friends and partners for this. Please enlist the help of your church and women’s groups to put together these Birthing Kits and send them to us. These kits should contain:
If your church or group is interested, please contact Shar at 239-210-6107. God bless you. Sherry
BREAKING NEWS: Please pray for our Mission Headquarters House, which is being hit hard by the storm today. It is located in Bavaro in the Dominican Republic. Bobby
Bobby always says, “Love is Something You Do.” When we see the poor, we must do something more than “pray” or “talk.” We must do something more for these children who are being cared for by our friend Juanito Genada. He receives food from us each month to feed these children, simply because our partners “did something” for love! God bless you. Bobby and Sherry
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27 – When we turn the news on each day, what awful things we hear…hate, anger, people being shot, wars, terrorist, fear and more. Thank you Lord for your peace. Bobby
We see many pregnant women at our Malnutrition Clinic each month, and we are in desperate need of “Birthing Kits.” Once the “expectant mothers” are in our program, they return for health classes, and vaccinations for their babies. They won’t be faithful unless we can offer them a “Birthing Kit,” which includes these items:
One newborn outfit (a “onesie” and stocking hat)
Feminine pads and two receiving blankets
Small plastic basin and a bar of soap
Single-edged razor blade
Two 10” long pieces 1/16” cotton cord
Disposable newborn diapers and one cloth diaper
Absorbent under pads
We need about 100 birthing kits a month. This is a great project for church groups. Please send items to:

Our old and dilapidated school in Bethel has been torn down! A brand new one that holds 600 children is being built in this very poor Haitian village, which is also called Petite Desdunes. Thank you partners! Bobby and Sherry
I woke up around 4 AM with this scripture burning within my heart. I feel so led of the Holy Spirit to give this Word to you today. “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” Isaiah 43:2 – Praise the Lord! Bobby
This baby was brought to our Malnutrition Center today. She is two-months-old and only weighs four pounds! Her grandmother brought her to us because her mother is physically handicapped and cannot walk. The baby was so weak, she could hardly cry. Barbara MacMannis, our Medical Administrator, said that we would be seeing a lot more of these babies because food and water are so scarce due to our drought. Mothers simply cannot make enough milk for their babies. We face these problems every day here in Haiti—we need God’s help. God bless all our partners! Sherry
