This week on Love A Child TV, join Bobby and Sherry Burnette for more of last week’s stories from their visit to the poor remote mountain village of Manakou, Haiti in our newest episode, “Feeding the Fatherless Part 2.” Your heart will be moved when you see the miracles your generosity has made possible in...
"Leftovers…" When I was small, my father was out of work many times. Most of it was due to his drinking, so with five kids my mother had to "make do." There were many times when all we had were the "leftovers of the leftovers." That wasn't bad, but my mother never would throw anything away, not...
We’re thankful for our semi-tractor, which was sponsored by one of our partners, who wants to remain anonymous. The semi was purchased in Florida and shipped to Haiti. It has already picked up and delivered several containers of Feed My Starving Children food (which has already been distributed!) The semi-tractor came to Haiti with ten new “re-cap”...
"Don't Let Anyone Steal Your Dream!" The Bible says that Israel (Jacob) loved Joseph, his son, “more than all his brethren, they hated him…" (Genesis 37:4) "And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more." (Genesis 37:5) When God gives us a "dream," it is a promise... a promise of what...
Building and operating a large orphanage in Haiti is challenging but so rewarding. When you bring children in, you never know the whole story of what they have lived through. This is Jean Edwouard. He was a restavek slave child in the village of “Old Letant.” The first time I saw him, he was carrying...
The Haitian crew is finishing the little details on the medical staff dorm roof today, which is next to the Jesus Healing Center. It's looking great! Thank you again, Graeme, Terry, Mark, Bryon, Jesse, and all of the Haitian crew. To have the medical staff be able to stay here all week will be a...
Our new Jesus Healing Center is packed out every day. We have people coming "from all over Haiti." They come on foot from the mountains, or some take a moto...some walk...some come by mule down the mountain and then, take a tap-tap. They know that "if they can get here, they will find compassionate care." This is what Haiti needs. We do...
"Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things.” Matthew 25:23 Until we learn to be faithful in a few things, the Lord cannot exalt us to be a ruler over many things. Everyone wants to start big. Yet the Bible says,...
This is little Kenzy. He gets up with the “big kids,” and helps clean and disinfect (Haiti is facing another Covid outbreak, with a more dangerous virus. All the children get up early and start to clean before school, even the little ones). Little Kenzy came to us when he was just a baby. His...
It's Memorial Day, but “the work still goes on at Love A Child." Today, Jesse Ostrander will be coming in to work on several projects, along with Bryan Ray. Although we are not bringing in mission teams right now, these people are "mission-critical." Jesse, Bryan, and our Haitian work team will be working on our...
