Gabion Houses for the Families. Update: We have 8 Gabion houses under construction! More to come by faith! Families have been living under plastic tarps since the last hurricane took their house. I have a hard time sleeping at night. Somehow, someway, we will build at least 60 Gabion houses… 150 people are waiting, but...
“I Can’t Even Walk Without Holding His Hand” Have you ever slipped and almost fell, but someone caught you by the hand? It’s happened to me. I’m sure it has happened to everyone at some time. The mountains of Haiti are so steep. It is hard to climb “up,” but walking down is even harder....
Miliana… “One Day at a Time.” I can remember the first time we saw Miliana. We were getting ready to film one of our “Love A Child” TV programs. I looked across a “muddy ditch” filled with water, and I saw a little girl chewing on a ribbon on her sweater… and felt I should...
When "Hurricane Melissa" went through South Haiti, it destroyed many houses. That was just a few months ago. In 2021, when a hurricane passed through the same area, it destroyed many houses.

This just came in through the door here at our Orphans Home. Wow! Wilner and his Agricultural Training Center guys are the best! We teach Haitians how to grow and produce even in bad soil. Teaching Haitians sustainability! Plant a seed and God will bless it!! Look for a harvest! Bobby Burnette
“Don’t Stay in the Pigpen!” All of us make mistakes. We are human. All of us fail the Lord. I know I have, more than you. But the good thing is that “He is right there to pick us up again…” We began our ministry on the streets, preaching to African Americans in a poor...
Today was Jackson's funeral. The church was packed full... all the school children came! There were so many people, standing room only! You could feel the presence of the Lord. Jackson loved Jesus and his school. So many people had such good things to say about Jackson. Even in his suffering, he was always sweet,...
Jackson's funeral (Heaven Celebration) started at 9 AM this morning. It was beautiful! Thank you for all your prayers and kind comments these last three days. This evening, be looking for pictures and more on Jackson. We all love you... The Love A Child Staff
