Today, our son and his family, and our Love A Child missionaries helped us distribute food to several hungry villages. It is always a very tough job getting to the villages, as the roads are not in good condition and our tires are bad. The trip is long, but the lines of hungry people are always waiting for us. We gave food to the village of Madamn Bauje and Despeezo today. There will be other villages to visit tomorrow, and some are even more difficult to reach than the villages we visited today. The ruts were so bad in the dry dirt roads today that our big truck almost turned over several times! Sherry

We enjoyed such a wonderful Thanksgiving with our son Jonathan, his wife Julie, and our twin grandsons Aidan and Brandon. We were also joined by several of our missionaries and workers from Gwo Maché Mirak. They do not celebrate Thanksgiving in Haiti, but they have many other holidays. We are very thankful for all that God has done for us, and for giving us such great friends and wonderful partners like you! God bless you, Bobby and Sherry

We just passed all the children playing soccer in front of their Love A Child School. Saturday will be a big match between the Love A Child School and the team from Grand Miracle Market! Bobby and Sherry

“But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.” Jonas 2:9 — After this prayer, God delivered Jonas from the “belly of the fish.” We too, offer Thanksgiving unto the Lord…we are thankful for you, our close friends and partners, whom God has blessed us with. We love you, Happy Thanksgiving. Bobby & Sherry

Little Roodson and Dacheline received a great “Thanksgiving blessing!” Someone decided to sponsor them!! There is nothing more rewarding than bringing a child out of a “mud hut” and into a beautiful Christian school where he or she receives a Christian education, a hot meal each day, a loving sponsor and “hope.” Please pray about sponsoring a child today! For just $288 you can sponsor a child for a whole year in honor of a relative or friend. Please pray about this, or call 239-210-6107 today. God bless you, Sherry

Baby Elijah and his house mother left this morning at 4:45 for the U.S. Embassy. He will be leaving on Friday for the United States for proper medical care. We give the Hotes Foundation a big thank you with our gratitude for sponsoring Elijah’s medical care. This little one is a survivor! God answers prayers! We want to thank everyone for praying. Love is something you do! Bobby

Sherry and I really need your prayers. We have 190 very poor Haitian people who do not have enough money to start up their business in the Grand Miracle Market by our grand opening on December 9th. Many mothers have come to our gate crying. It cost $225 per person to buy their product and set up for business. The total cost to help 190 people start their business is $42,750.00. Sherry and I promised we would have the money for the 190 people by Monday, December 1st. We have no idea where the money will come from, but we have faith. Everyone please pray. If you need to talk to me personally call the Fort Myers office at 239-210-6107 and I will call you from Haiti. Faith doesn’t know we don’t have the money. Thank you. Bobby

P. S. The sign says Grand Miracle Market.

This morning we had a press conference at the Grand Miracle Market. The mayor of Fond Parisien, Metro Management, and many members of the press were in attendance. It will be shown on all of Haiti’s media outlets including television, radio and newspapers. December 9th will be the grand dedication! This is a dream come true for the Haitian people. Thank you again Pastor Jentezen Franklin and your Kingdom Connection partners for the one million dollars to help fund the construction of this marketplace! Love is something you do. Bobby

Yesterday our son Jonathan, and our twin grandsons Aidan and Brandon (Sherry and Julie Burnette are not in the pictures) picked up rocks at the Grand Miracle Market. God bless all the little Haitians who helped pick up rocks. Love is something you do! Faith without works is dead! Bobby

Great News! We want to thank the Hotes Foundation, Richard Hotes, Carolyn Bishop and their team for finding a hospital and neurologist to care for baby Elijah. They have also found a host family. Carolyn and her team will leave with Elijah on Friday. Let’s all pray for the doctors to do the right thing for this little baby and that good things will happen for him. Elijah was abandoned by his mother in front of our Love A Child Orphanage gates when he was about two weeks old. “Praise God for His Mercy!” Sherry
