05-22-2013 - 6 AM - Be sure to see Sherry's Journal this week for an update on this little girl, Magda....You will hear about the bone disease she has, how far away her home was in the mountains, and the miracle that God did for her! Will keep you updated as soon as the Journal posts, PTL! Sherry
05-21-2013 - 4:00 PM - We are in desperate need of an assistant bookkeeper to help Sandra Julian (one of our Love a Child missionaries) with the big job she has in Haiti....The work is not hard, but it is time-consuming and as we are growing, we are in need of a retired bookkeeper, who would not mind "putting in time in an office," doing important bookkeeping work. We are growing and it is hard for Sandra to keep up....Maybe you are the one the Lord is speaking to? We need a commitment of one year. If interested, please contact our Love A Child office at 239-210-6107. God bless you, Sherry
2 PM - Please read Sherry's Journal, and hear the story of Robert, a former Haitian employee of Love A Child....You will be shocked at his story and you will be moved to tears and humbled at God's Mercy...I was. Sherry
12:45 PM - Today, we welcome Brett Payne, from the Love A Child office in Fort Myers, FL to Haiti. He brought some very important and urgent parts needed for our big diesel generator that runs the "Jesus Healing Center." He has a great love for the Haitian people and has been here many times. Bobby
 11:15 AM - This is Ericka and Jean Gardy from our LAC Orphanage....Both have seizures...Ericka is the worst. Even though she is mentally challenged, we have had her in school because she is learning and she LOVES SCHOOL. Jean Gardy is such a sweet, humble boy and the hand of the Lord is on his life....The teachers at our LAC Christian School asked if we would send our two children to them on Tuesday and Thursday so that they and their Church could fast and pray over these children, and God would heal them! Isn't this amazing!!! Can you imagine one of our school teachers in the States, being able to do this? Sometimes, I wonder which of these two, is really the "Christian nation?" Sherry
 9:15 AM - This photo was taken yesterday at one of the gardens inside our Miracle Village garden area....The child is one of our school children and her parents survived the earthquake, but lost everything...until God blessed them with a house, and now a garden! God bless John and Shelby Mahon for all their hard work setting up the "irrigation systems," and God bless Mark Julian, our missionary, who is the leader of the "Sustainability Projects," and God bless Pastor Gregory Dickow for sponsoring the wells for this area, and our precious LAC partners, for sponsoring the pipes and all equipment that was needed!!! Bobby
6:15 AM - I am here, at our Love A Child Orphanage, on the top floor, where Bobby and I live with the children....In the midst of all the struggles of living in Haiti, and the difficulties of what we face everyday, God gives us strength. Right now, I can hear hundreds of little birds singing from trees in our courtyard, that we planted years ago....They are singing "praises to God" for this day! And when I open my door, I can get hugs and kisses all day long! "Oh, that men would praise the Lord for his goodness..." Psalms 107:8 Sherry
"Bondye pa janm bay doulè pitit li yo san yo pa medikaman..." Be sure to read "Sherry's Journal" today and find out what the Creole Proverb means... Sherry

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
