As we told you yesterday, through much prayer and thought, we are staying here in Haiti to be with our Haitian children at our Love A Child Children's Home and the precious people of Haiti. The children consider us their "mother and father," and they are afraid for us to leave. Likewise, the people who...
The man with the bullhorn is Camy… He's the one whose job it is to get the "older boys" up "early" to begin work. (I sent this new picture because the one we used before was too dark, so you know it was "early!") Camy also works with the younger boys to pick up trash...
“With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27 – I’ve learned a valuable lesson in life following the Lord, we must do everything that is possible and let God do the impossible! Bobby
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...
