Abandonment is a horrible word, especially for a child in Haiti. For a toddler, it can usually mean "death by malnutrition." This is what is happening all over Haiti... fathers have a responsibility of caring for their children, but there are no jobs. They choose to flee to the Dominican Republic and take their chances...
"He's the God of the Second Chance!" Have you ever felt like you "really messed up your life?" Or maybe God called you to do something, and you haven't done it yet? Great people in the Bible have failed God, and yet, God used them in a mighty way. Moses killed an Egyptian (Exodus 2:12), and yet, God used...
Wilguens (Jacque) never gets into trouble, but he's hard to find! What an unusual little guy this is! He and his sister, Fabiola, were left with their father when their mother died. Their stepmother did not want them. When their father would go to look for work, he would be gone "days," and as a...
Sapaterre is only one of the villages in Haiti that makes mud cookies to sell “when there’s nothing else to eat!” We began a large feeding program here, held a Mobile Medical Clinic, then a large outdoor Crusade! All of this gave way to a beautiful Love A Child Church in Sapaterre! The Church now...
We live in an uncertain world. We do not know what tomorrow may bring. One thing I do know, we stand upon the word of God! “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1: 7 Bobby Burnette

The Love A Child church here is always full. There are many Love A Child churches just like this one all over Haiti. But this is the one the kids from the orphanage call "their church". Young or old, or somewhere in between, the place is full of happy people lifting up thanks and praise...
At an Inconvenient Time… “Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.” Proverbs 3:27-28 Every one of us, at some time...
Yesterday, we were talking about the great miracle of an "open door," for Djonsly to get help for the cancer that was behind his eye. (The cancer had already pushed the eye out of its socket! He had to wear a patch over the entire eye!) Little did we know that another cancer had already been developing also, near...
Job… Growing Like a Coconut Tree! One day, a poor mountain Pastor made the long rocky trip by foot, down from the mountains of Covant, to our Love A Child Orphanage.
