We left Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, early this morning with Philemond, Pastor Mark, Sherry, and me. We are now crossing the border from the Dominican Republic into Haiti! We live about 15 miles past the border going into Haiti. There is a huge difference between the Dominican Republic and Haiti! Unbelievable! Almost home, and we...
The combination of famine and living with a large family in a makeshift hut is a combination of suffering beyond words. Today, Hubert and the Love A Child team found the Flourant family in Kalibo, far in the interior of south Haiti, and provided rice, beans, and oil to sustain them for the next three...
THE LORD IS NIGH UNTO YOU: “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” Psalm 34:18 The Lord sees your heart today and what you are going through. Sometimes when we feel the Lord is furthest away... is when He is the...
This is the team that Philemond, our driver, brought in from Haiti, across the border, and into the Dominican Republic. This group is all “medical.” We have four nurses that will be trained in dialysis: Madamn Verdynee, Madamn Polinice, Madamn Charles, and Roseline (from our Love A Child Children’s Home). You can also see Philemond...
This is how we get all those “hairdos” done, for school. Sandraline is braiding Miliana’s hair for school. When you raise children together in an orphanage, they are a “family!” Sandraline’s mother died soon after she was born, and her father, Fritzner, repaired bicycles to pay a lady to take care of her. But soon,...
Pictured is Philemond (our number one driver), three of our Love A Child nurses, and three of our Love A Child children, going to the DR for urgent medical needs. Jackson, for a dialysis check-up, Yonel for hand surgery (his father had held his hand in boiling water because he was angry at him, then...
"Casting All Your Care Upon Him." Sometimes, this is not easy to do. Many of us choose to "carry our own loads." I have been guilty of that myself. We struggle and struggle all the time... Jesus is there, wanting to carry the load for us. We have done a lot of work in the...
This little 18-year-old sweetie has such a good heart! She is the twin to her brother, Daniel. When her mother was pregnant with triplets, she gave birth to Daniella and Daniel and then, died. Daniella did well but Daniel was always “sickly” and had bad eyesight. The Haitian doctors kept sending him for glasses, but...
Just arrived at the Santo Domingo airport on American Airlines. Next stop, Love A Child... Fond Parisien, Haiti by truck. Please pray for a safe trip. We can’t wait to see all the children! Love is something you do! Bobby and Sherry Burnette
PTL! Another 40-foot container of Feed My Starving Children meals arrived yesterday at Love A Child. Today we will have another 40-foot container arrive full of meals for the children and people of Haiti. We’ve had several come in the last few days through the gangs on the road and all the other chaos in...
