Angels are among us! “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” Psalm 34:7 “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” Psalm 91:11 I will never forget here in Haiti several years ago, I was with two men (Dr. Warner and Pastor...
Each weekend, some of the older girls beg Bobby for driving lessons. This weekend it started out to be Widlene, Kristela, and Fabienne. But, when they first opened the door, Sampson, our rottweiler, jumped in, and "we couldn't get him out!" The problem is that Fabienne is deathly afraid of "black dogs!” Now, she was...
It is not uncommon in Haiti, for a father to abandon his children if his wife dies. Who will go a long way to the market? Who will wash the clothes, and clean and cook, (where is the food)? And, how can a father work all day in the garden if there is no one...

We are so very blessed with the best doctors, nurses, and workers in our new Jesus Healing Center. It is kept "clean and spotless." There is a great feeling of peace and calmness when you walk in the door. This is where the "poor" come to receive a consultation, medical care, labs, etc., no matter...
This week, Missionaries Bobby and Sherry Burnette travel deep within the mudrock caves that the impoverished families in Sapaterre and other mud cookie villages mine to produce, sell, and feed their children cookies made of dirt to stave off the pains of hunger. Who would ever imagine that just one hour and forty-five minutes from...
