“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.” Proverbs 28:27 In Psalm 41:1-3, the Lord made seven supernatural promises to us when we consider the poor. Please take your time this morning and read them. The Lord pays better dividends and interest than the bank! Bobby Burnette
Jackson was found in the mountains of Savann Pit, Haiti. This remote mountain village was “very far” from us, and is on dangerous mountain roads. We found him during our Mobile Clinic in this village. A relative brought this little boy with a “HUGE” stomach full of water! He had[…]
Several years ago, we “heard” of children in poor villages working with their mothers to make those “mud cookies” that hungry children all over Haiti are eating today! There is no good nutritional value in eating these special “mud cookies,” except for the fact that when you eat the cookie[…]

Zachary is our youngest Love A Child orphan. He has a “mother,” but when she came to our clinic, with the baby in her arms, we were suspicious. His mother told us “several of her real children had died,” and some were “missing!” We gave her a ride home with[…]
Since the many years that Bobby and I have lived here in Haiti, we have never seen the children eat “soup joumou” (pumpkin soup) for breakfast! This soup is so important for the Haitians and their heritage, because back in the days of the French occupation and slavery, only the[…]
“Forgetting Those Things Which Are Behind.” “Happy New Year!” God has carried us through another year. We’ve had to face bad things, and we have been blessed to face “good things.” Many of us have been through great trials this past year. Bobby and I went through a great trial[…]
