This expression is commonly used when someone gets angry and they start “cussin'!” But “raising cane” in Haiti is a happy time for any Haitian child! They “love sugar cane!” It is hard for us to find because they don’t grow sugar cane in our area. But, some lady sellers (machans) brought it to our...
“With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 You may be going through an impossible situation with your husband, children, business, or personal problem. God is bigger! With God, all things are possible! God is a mountain mover! God said to cast your mountain into the sea! (Mark 11:23)...
I'm sorry for the delay in giving you an update as promised. I've been waiting for some news that has not come in yet. Tomorrow, I will write to you. We are claiming Haiti for Christ!!! Bobby and Sherry Burnette
What a blessing! Like “cold water to a thirsty soul,” so is the Word of God in troubled times. The poor Haitian people have been through much in the last two years. Many have lost their homes to the gangs or lost everything they had. The majority do not own a Bible, so they only...

Does it seem like “you win one, you lose one?” The enemy’s plan is to tire us out so that we will give up, but we can never “give up.” Ephesians 6 tells us about our “battle.” We learn that we are never, never fighting against flesh and blood, although...

When his mother died, his father brought him to us because he could not care for him. He was a “skinny little thing,” and the kids nicknamed him “ti pikan,” which means “little thorn.” He might have been a “little thorn” back then, but he is a big tree now!!! He has been through a...
This evening or in the morning, I will be giving you the latest update on Haiti. A lot is happening as you have been seeing on the news. I believe some good things in the midst of this turmoil might happen for Haiti soon! Too many people have been praying! Missionary Bobby Burnette
A Haitian proverb says, "se moun ki sonje w ki voye di w bonjou," meaning when someone remembers you, they send a greeting to let you know you're not forgotten. When the mountain children heard that Love A Child would be in the remote area of La Source, they walked over two mountains of rough...
“By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.” Hebrews 11:8 The heroes of our faith all lived simply believing in an invisible God whom they could not see or touch.
