 05-17-2012 - 9:30 PM - The mobile medical team prepares to leave Friday morning. Tonight, we had a church service in our warehouse with our orphanage kids, workers, the clinic team, and special guests, a team from ORU with Pastor Rod from Victory Church in Tulsa...We all praised God together!!!! Blessings, Bobby and Sherry
4:30 PM - The team had a great day helping to distribute food to Nacou. We found out today that there is expected to be a manifestation tomorrow (Holiday) because the old army regime wants to come back. We have reports already of people gathering tires to burn... We will get our team safely to the airport early in the morning, with some extra Haitian workers...more news coming. Sherry
 12 - noon - We are so blessed to share the food we receive from Feed My Starving Children with other wonderful ministries. This picture came in from our friend, Karen, from Coram Deo. We are so proud of Karen and the work she is doing here in Haiti! We thank Feed My Starving Children for their donation of food each month and our LAC partners for sponsoring this food for us. Blessings, Sherry
 6:00 AM - Our missionary, Durkje, has been working hard to get the "23 lovebird couples" ready for the big day, June 2nd! Yesterday and today, more couples come to pick up their rings and try on more wedding gowns. A couple ladies are pregnant and we have to keep "finding larger gowns!" (smile) Sherry
Find out today why the Haitians say, "women are like mahogany..." Make sure you read Sherry's Journal.

Meet Wilson Barthelemy, better known to all of us as Nelio. He is the director of all of our Love A Child projects and outreaches. He has worked for us for twenty years. He is responsible for all we do in Haiti...our feeding programs, our schools, getting our containers out of Customs, hiring new people, all of our licenses, and the maze of hoops we jump through, just to survive. We do not know what we would do without Nelio. He is our gift from God.

We want to thank you for visiting our website because this means you are someone whose heart has compassion for those living in poverty in Haiti. We are the Founders and Directors of Love A Child. We moved to Haiti in July, 1991 as full time missionaries, and we can say that this has been the greatest joy of our lives.
If you are interested in feeding the hungry, sponsoring a child, building a missions project, or traveling into the “regions beyond” on foot, four-wheel drive, or even by mule or donkey, then this is the mission website for you! We also invite you to visit “Sherry’s Journal,” a daily, cultural diary of life on the mission field of Haiti!
God bless you,
Bobby and Sherry Burnette
