The recent earthquake in Haiti killed hundreds and injured thousands, leaving them with no food or shelter, suffering in the elements while a tropical storm ravaged what was left. The Love A Child staff spread out to hard-to-reach areas to provide thousands of bags of rice and beans to these devastated people, as well medical relief to the injured who cannot afford doctors or hospitals. Your charity makes all this possible! Let your heart be moved with the cry of the poor and broken. With your continued assistance, we can rebuild what they have lost.

Love is something you do!

Steadfast, unmovable, always abounding:

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 15:58)

We must be steadfast, unmovable in the work of the Lord. All our work for him is not in vain. We must go forward always abounding in the work of the Lord. Never give up!

Missionary Bobby Burnette

All our children here at Love A Child “work” and do chores, but some of them work, “just to be working!” Mikael is a good example. Mikael “looks for work!” He is one of the teenage boys that are always “looking for work.” When he is at home, he usually goes to the Food Distribution Center and starts sweeping, cleaning, and making sure all the boxes are straight!!! You never have to ask him to work! When a big container comes in, he is right there, ready to unload and put things on pallets. He is honest and sweet, and tender-hearted. If he thinks you are angry at him, he will be very sad or even cry.

Mikael came to us when his mother died. His father was very poor and could not take care of him. (This happens a lot, here in Haiti.) His father brought him to us and we found out that he was a really intelligent child! He loves music and plays the drums in our Children’s Service each night. He is in Junior High now and one day, he will figure out what he wants to do in life! We love Mikael… never had a problem with him!!! Sherry

“For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.” Proverbs 8:11

Solomon could have had anything he asked for, but he chooses wisdom! Lord today we seek after your wisdom. Bobby

I can close my eyes and see this little guy, about the age of two… a big swollen belly with worms and malnutrition. He was sitting on the dirty ground right beside a huge pig. He had no water and had not had any food all day. Other children would walk by him and slap him on the head and say, “pa bezouin.” It means “don’t need you, or don’t want you.”

His mother would pick him up by one arm each morning and plop him down on the ground. He would have to “sit on his knees” until someone picked him up. His parents were into Voodoo. As I watched him, the Lord spoke to me and said the same thing He had told me before about other children… “If you leave him here he will die.”

I picked him up, and he clutched his arms around my neck. When I talked to his mother she said, “Take him, take him!” And we did! It was a struggle to get him to stand or walk… but one day, it happened! Now, he is in school doing well! He does flips in the air, summersaults, plays soccer and basketball, and can eat more than an adult! He is sweet, kind, hard-working, and obedient! Oh, how we love Nelson! Sherry

The Story of Madamn Marcelin Janique

Haitians often wait “until it’s too late.” But with God, He is always on time.

Today, the “Waiting Room” at our Jesus Healing Center Clinic was packed full. It was filled with patients. In most all clinics in Haiti, a person who has a really bad problem can sit and sit until they are called. But this clinic is different… It is because of our loving staff and our doctors, and especially Dr. Barthelemy. He is always “out front” in the street, waiting and watching everyone who comes in to see who is the worst case. He takes them back immediately and starts to solve their problem with love and care.

Among all these people came Madamn Marcelin Janique. She had a huge growth under her arm, which was bothering her for a long, long time. After trying many doctors and clinics, she gave up hope until a friend told her about the Jesus Healing Center! The best news was that “she would not have to pay a penny to see the Doctor or any charges for surgery.”

Madamn Marcelin came from a little area called “Rat Kadet!” This is in the high mountains of Tomazo. It had been a long time before someone came all the way from Tomazo, down to Fond Parisien, to Love A Child!

After examination, Dr. Barthelemy explained that the growth was called “Lipoma,” about 5 to 7 cm below the epidermis. It was really bothering her. It was removed, and with a thankful heart, Madamn Marcelin was to be able to go home. She had this problem for over a year! She left with a good surgery, and did not have to pay a penny!!

There is a Creole Proverb that says, “When it gets darker, that’s when it will be day.” That means “it’s never too late for God to move!!!”

This huge clinic was a great “step of faith!” But, we are thankful to those of you who gave to help build this beautiful clinic for the poor, and we are thankful to Hand of Hope – Joyce Meyer Ministries, who helps sponsor the operating cost of running this clinic each month. And we thank all our donors and partners who gave, to build and furnish the clinic and all the other needs. Just think, the Lord was looking “down the road,” ahead of time, and He knew, that one day, Madamn Marcelin would be coming for help, along with so many poor people! Thank you, those of you, who helped with other furnishings and supplies!!! It doesn’t matter who gives large or small, as long as God gets all the Glory!!! You who are reading this, are some of the best people on the earth!!

We love you,
Bobby and Sherry
