Ti Samuel… He’s four years old and in Kindergarten. He was brought here to our Love A Child Children’s Home by the Department of Social Services here in Haiti. After his morning chores of “picking up trash” with the younger boys, he spends the day playing! He would rather play than sleep! He is “full...
In the newest Love A Child television program, “Three Days and Two Nights,” recount how Bobby and Sherry Burnette bring Jesus and medical care to the poor people in Peyi Pouri, Haiti. Thousands of people were treated, and many lives were saved, both physically and spiritually, in just three days. You will watch hearts break...
There is so much joy in being able to grow your own food. Once you have gardening skills, you will have reliable nutritious food, and you feel a “connection” to God and the earth that is hard to explain. At our Agricultural Training Center (ATC), we demonstrate and teach methods of sustainable gardening so that...
“Our Great Invisible God.” When I was 17 and dating Bobby, he had “one thing on his mind,” (besides me!) God had told him to fast and pray on nothing but water for 21 days. The entire time I was engaged to him, he was always trying to go on that fast. We never “went...
A lot has changed in Joseph's life since he was a baby. His mother died soon after he was born. When he and his sister, Sarah, were toddlers, they both had severe malnutrition. They were brought to our orphanage and then sent to a children's hospital. We had to hire special workers to take of them,...

"I've Come too Far to Look Back…" I often wonder why anyone would "look back" after becoming a Christian and after all that the Lord has done for us... Abram and Lot (Abram's spoiled nephew), had been blessed so much that they could no longer live together. They "had too many cattle," and "too much of everything." Graciously, Abram gave Lot first choice of the land. Lot, of course, chose the greenest land, the land overlooking Sodom… Abram was left with Canaan. But...
Today, Sherry and I and some of our Love A Child children went to Pastor Claude's orphanage, not far from us. It has been a little while since we have been able to go and see the children and sing, dance, and eat! It is hard for a large orphanage full of children to remain...
Hallelujah! We just got a picture of baby Zoey "praising the Lord!" And, she wasn’t even crying! This is the first time that we have actually seen her happy!! Many of you follow the Love A Child children’s stories and know Zoey. But for those who don’t know her, she was found en route to...
These pictures just came in from our Agricultural Training Center. Food for our children! When all of this COVID-19 passes, we will start classes again, teaching short courses on how to grow crops. How to make your own compost and so much more. Teaching sustainability, teaching Haitians how to help themselves. Food for life program... This morning we were over at Pastor Claude's orphanage with a big huge cooking pot of Feed My Starving Children...
