Love A Child’s greatest joy is feeding hungry children; this episode brings you face-to-face with several starving families throughout Haiti. Your heart will be touched as you hear from a girl who struggles with the pain of abandonment, picking up the burden of additional work to get by. A boy sees his father sidelined by illness and takes his younger siblings under his wing to show them how to survive. Their stories are all unique, but they share the same affliction – the need for food. Your cheerful giving provides life-changing hope to the people living in these desperate villages.

Love is something you do!

“But when thou makes a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.” Luke 14:13-14

Our greatest blessings come on us when we give to those who cannot give back.

Christian was brought to our “Orphanage” when he was about four or five. The Department of Social Services brought him because his mother had died and his father was in prison for life… we don’t know why. We first noticed his talent for music when he was about five or six. We had a big Crusade in “Miracle Market” here in Haiti. They asked Christian to sing. That little guy took the microphone and really “sang!” We all felt the Spirit of the Lord, as he sang. When he got older, he found his love was bass guitar and keyboard! He is so professional!!!

During the day, he works in the Food Distribution Center, and then later, he goes to school. He is in 10th grade. Christian “always” has a big smile on his face… He will do anything you ask! He loves basketball and soccer. So far, his goal is to be an electrician! I’ve never had a kid that could melt my heart with a smile like Christian! We truly love him, love to listen to him play the keyboard, and I just wish his mother or father could have seen what he has become today.

PS: The kids gave him the “nic-name” of “Ka-ka-ya!”

“Enlarge the places of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left hand…” Isaiah 54:2-3 – Sometimes, we are “afraid” to step out and make changes, or make decisions, or take bold new steps. Maybe we are afraid of failing, but God is surely able to get you back on track! God bless you. Sherry

Here is another “Bobby Burnett.” (Haiti does not add the e on the end of Burnette). This Bobby lost his mother soon after he was born (or perhaps eclampsia) and his father also died. His grandfather did not want him and told his teenage sister to “find a home for the baby.” She found us!

Bobby has found his love as a mechanic and also working with “anything electric.” Each day, after he finishes his work at the Love A Child Children’s Home, he heads over to our main mechanic, Joker, who is from the D.R.

Bobby is always kind and helpful, plays the bass guitar in our nightly services, and when’s not busy, he is playing soccer, and he is good at it! Right now, he is in the “13th grade” at school. (In Haiti, children go 13 years instead of 12 years). He has some difficult tests to pass, but I believe he will make it! God has his hand on “Bobby Burnett!”

“None Before Me… None After Me”

I feel sorry for anyone who cannot believe that God is real. If we look at the stars in the sky at night and how the sun comes up each morning and the moon each night, who could have created this? Our God!

God says, “… that ye may know and believe me, and understand THAT I AM HE: BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME […] Yea, before the day was I AM HE!” (Isaiah 43:10-13)

Our small minds cannot even imagine a God that always has been here and always will be here. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Your problem is “too little” for you to be worrying about. Before the earth was created, God already knew you were on the way! He’s a big, big God, and no matter how big your problem may seem, God is always bigger! Have a great big, wonderful day!
