“For Such a Time as This” Ever think that you cannot be used of God? I never had the opportunity of going to college. I always thought, “How could God possibly use me?” Even when we moved to Haiti, we had no idea that God would put us in a time and place to be...
The first time we saw Jean Edwouard, he was in the village of Old Letant! He was cooking food for a large family because his mother and father had died, and he was now a “restavek” child. In Haiti, when a child’s parents die, they go to live with a relative and become a “slave...
Remember when we built a restaurant inside Gwo Maché Mirak (Grand Miracle Market)? We built this as a "sustainability project." For the last two years, it has sat dormant because the gangs controlled the roads. You could not pick up what was needed for the menu. Two weeks ago our two Haitian sons and myself...
“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.” Proverbs 28:27 In Psalm 41:1-3, the Lord made seven supernatural promises to us when we consider the poor. Please take your time this morning and read them. The Lord pays better dividends and interest than the bank! Bobby Burnette
Jackson was found in the mountains of Savann Pit, Haiti. This remote mountain village was “very far” from us, and is on dangerous mountain roads. We found him during our Mobile Clinic in this village. A relative brought this little boy with a “HUGE” stomach full of water! He had kidney failure! We took him...
Several years ago, we “heard” of children in poor villages working with their mothers to make those “mud cookies” that hungry children all over Haiti are eating today! There is no good nutritional value in eating these special “mud cookies,” except for the fact that when you eat the cookie and drink a little water,...
“Pure Religion” What is that? I love what the Book of James says. It doesn’t say that pure religion is going to church or giving to the offering. It’s not cleaning the church, although God blesses those that keep His house clean. Pure religion goes beyond everything we do that is religious. James said, “Pure...
More vegetables came in from our Agricultural Training Center (ATC). These guys all have a green thumb! All the children will have plenty of vegetables here at our Children's Home where we all live together. The ATC teaches Haitians how to grow better and more crops. They can support their families plus make some money....
“He must increase, but I must decrease…” We must always be careful that when people see us, they see Jesus. Sadly enough, in the days of television or mega churches, we often cannot see Jesus because someone wants to be in the limelight... they want to “increase.” We have known a lot of great ministers...
Zachary is our youngest Love A Child orphan. He has a “mother,” but when she came to our clinic, with the baby in her arms, we were suspicious. His mother told us “several of her real children had died,” and some were “missing!” We gave her a ride home with baby Zachary, and that’s when...
