This is little Kenzy, Joshua, Samuel, and Noah, caught in a “bearhug!” They really love each other! Usually, they are in “twos,” but today they were all wadded together! It’s very hard for Haitian people and children to “stay apart.” The moment we turn our backs, they are in a “wad!” They love to talk to...
Our Love A Child kids love to quote Bible verses! They can all quote the 91st Psalm! I told them that God gave this to us as His “contract;” that He would protect us if we serve Him! They wrote the scriptures on a banner and asked Bryon, our guest missionary, to help them hang it...
As many of you know, we told you this morning that we would be writing an important post at 12:30 p.m. today and sharing some important decisions that we have made. We will need to wait "one more day" to see what the president of Haiti has to say about some things, and then we will...
Today at 12:30 p.m. EST, Sherry and I will be writing a very important post from Haiti. Through prayer, we have made some very important decisions. We will also be giving updates on the current things happening here. Love is something you do… Bobby and Sherry Burnette
“If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering; If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate: Then let mine...
We just received a phone call from Nelio Barthelemy, our Haitian Director of Love A Child. (He grew up in the poor village of “Bethel,” a nickname for L'Estère.) Hunger is so widespread in this village. Nelio always wants to make sure that they get food. This is the largest area that we cook food… 13 “chodias” (huge cooking pots)...
Business is “picking up!” We have been cleaning, scrubbing, disinfecting, soaking in Clorox water, checking temperatures, watching for coughs, etc., but it’s hard to keep Haitians apart. Today was “cleanup day” and they all jumped in the back of Poppie’s truck! They are the trash (paper pickup) detail! Today, our doctors are meeting to establish very...
It's not a sin to fall, but a sin not to get back up! Proverbs 24:16- "For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." Joshua had lost the battle before the king of Ai. Joshua had fallen; the king chased his men and killed them....
This is Bryon Ray! He attends Pastor Mark Ostrander’s church, The Mission, in Palm Bay, Florida. He is excellent at construction and came to volunteer here at Love A Child for two months! He could not have come at a better time because of all the projects we have going on! He is excellent at...
We found Ti Mika while we were doing a "Television Program" for Love A Child. We were in a poor village and we were talking about how children were starving to death of malnutrition, when I looked over to see a little baby, about five months old, sitting on the ground in the dirt by...
