Stanley, aka “Gwo Chat” (Big Cat), was thin and scrawny when he came to Love A Child. (All the kids give each other a nickname!) He came from another orphanage in Cap-Haitien where they speak a different kind of Creole. He was about 11 years old, or maybe younger, but he fit in quite rapidly....
I just heard some singing in French as I passed over the stairs here at our Love A Child Children’s Home. Madamn Raphael is teaching French to different classes of our children. While their main language is Creole, they need to speak French to get a good job. And colleges here speak French. Some colleges...
Life without hope is unlivable. You can last about three days without water and about 21 days without food, but you cannot last one day without hope for a “tomorrow.” A life without dignity is horrible, too. But our three-week sustainable Agriculture Training Center (ATC) class gives both hope and dignity. We are announcing the...
"A Still Small Voice…” "… And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a...
Praise the Lord! Casimi and the rice made it safely to Love A Child this evening. He had some close calls, but the Lord protected him. Thank you for your prayers. Now we must get the food to the people, especially the children. Bobby Burnette

We need your prayers! We are in the process of picking up 42,250 pounds of rice at the Port-au-Prince port to be distributed to the Haitian people. We cannot give you the day or time this week (for security reasons). Please pray for our driver Casimi who drives our semi-tractor with our 40-foot container that...
No, not that kind of cane...sugar cane! This sugar cane came from our Agricultural Training Center outreach! Fruits and vegetables are expensive at times here in Haiti and we don’t know what we would do without Wilner, Mr. Rad, and our ATC program! Getting sugar cane in Haiti is like us getting a box of...
Bobby and Sherry would like to apologize for the lack of posts today. Internet in Haiti is very spotty and sometimes our content gets lost! We will be back online as soon as the Lord straightens the path. Have a blessed day!
God will restore the years the cankerworm hath eaten! “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.” Joel 2:25 I really feel within my heart that this scripture is for several of you today. The Word of the...
