I'm a believer that when school is not in session every kid should have a job here at Love A Child. If I see them standing around bored, I can always find some work for them to do! And since Haiti has a lot of political problems right now, and the streets are not safe,...
We just received these pictures. The first picture is Joker working on our semi-truck gears. If anyone can repair the problem, Joker can! Please pray that we can get our container moving to help the Haitian people. Bobby Burnette
Please pray! Our semi-truck and container carrying thousands of pounds of rice, beans, and cooking oil just broke down. They say the problem is with the gears. Our mechanic, Joker, is on the way to check it out. Please remember him in your prayers. His 12-year-old daughter passed away on Sunday. I can’t say which country our...
"Our God of the second chance…” Ever feel discouraged about "something you missed" in life? Have you thought about things that did not go as well as you expected? That marriage, that job, that college career? Your health? Maybe it was a "hidden sin" in your life, or something you really messed up? Let's look...
This is Jovanie Jean. She is one of our older children here at Love A Child. She has a degree in nursing and is very, very bright! Honestly, we want to think that all of our children will be "little angels," but raising these many children here in Haiti is not easy. When Jovanie first...
Haiti is in political turmoil… Businesses cannot operate… Many doctors’ offices, grocery stores, banks, high schools, and universities are closed. There are "some" schools open far up in the mountains where it is safe, but not in the main areas of Haiti. Our children at Love A Child have only been to "one week of...
These pictures were sent to me this morning from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where our rice, beans, and cooking oil are being loaded into our container right now! I was told that it would take 2.5 hours longer to load the 40-foot container full of 73,500 pounds of food. Now the adventure begins, please pray. Next...
"The Fiery Trial..." (Part One) "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice..." (1 Peter 4:12-13) How would you like a man of God to say that to you? "Don’t think it not strange about that big trial that...
This is Bianca doing Miliana’s hair. In each of the girls’ rooms, it’s like a giant “hair salon!” Girls are braiding hair or trying new hairdos on each other, and they are all such “girls!” Miliana is 14 and in the 6th grade. She has been with us since she was about four years old. We...
PTL! Just received word that our trucks made it to the border with no problems, and now they have crossed from Haiti and into the Dominican Republic side of the border! They are rolling! Getting all of the food back and distributing it won't be an easy job. I can't say when that will be...
