Gabion Houses: This week, the crew started building the Gabion houses! We have raised money for 10 houses. Onward we go by faith! Next week, be looking for pictures. Food distributions: Starting Tuesday, Sherry, Jesse, and I, along with our team, will start distributing Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) meals to different villages. Not only will we...
At dawn on Haiti’s border, small boats cross a quiet lake toward prayer and provision. The roads are unsafe, so mothers and children come by water, each holding one ticket per family and hope in their hands. A humble distribution offers rice, beans, and cooking oil to take home, while children receive a warm meal...
“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...

Wilner, the head of our Agricultural Training Center, just sent me this note. Teaching Haitians how to grow bigger and better vegetables is a blessing. Thank you for your prayers and support. Bobby Burnette Dear my Big Boss! How are you?We hope God always holds us with His divine hand. Big Boss, we really miss...
