>> Najja Plowden: When I dance,
I feel alive.
When you get to give
a bowl of soup to someone,
you give a bowl of soup
to Jesus and it's real.
It's not a religious thing.
It's not churchianity.
It's Christianity.
It's the way of Jesus,
and it's pure, and it's amazing.
And you look at these kids'
faces and you see God's.
If you're a believer
in Jesus Christ,
you have a chance
to partner with the kingdom
of heaven here on earth.
Don't wait for there.
Do it here.
Make heaven right here.
>> Bobby Burnette: Well,
may God bless you and welcome
to Dipeezo--Dipeezio, Haiti.
>> Sherry Burnette: Despeezo.
>> Bobby: Out here
in the middle of nowhere.
Matter of fact,
we're under a big--
what they call
a big voodoo tree out here.
And then right next door here,
there's a pretty well
famous witch doctor,
who's even on the Internet.
Famous witch doctor for voodoo.
And a lot of people
are scared of him out here,
but there's power
in the name of Jesus.
And in this village,
we've won several hundred
to Christ already,
and one of the ways
is because of food.
When they see
the goodness of God,
it causes men to repent, Sherry.
>> Sherry: You know,
it's not only the--because
we started with the food,
and then we came in,
we've had mobile clinics here.
We came in
and we preached to the people.
>> Bobby: We preached to 'em.
>> Sherry: You know, and we're
still doing feeding programs
on a regular basis so that
they see the love of God.
It's really wonderful.
>> Bobby: This is
one of the villages where,
every month, giving out food,
enough food for a month
for the village.
And we go to many
other villages in Haiti and
there's many villages waiting.
Matter of fact,
there's an emergency
for food in Haiti.
Sherry and I have lived here
for 25 years
and I've never seen it this bad.
And we'd have got here earlier
this month for food,
matter of fact,
but the rains has kept us away.
It's been raining.
We couldn't get out here.
So, that's one reason
you're gonna see
in the program today we're
feeding the little children.
We're feeding
especially the children,
make sure they get a good,
hot meal cooked today
before we leave.
But we're leaving enough food
for a month for each family
that's on our food card list.
So, let's come on.
And with us also today
is a volunteer team
from the Dream Center.
They're helping us.
And here's one of our--
he used to be a little boy
in the orphan's home.
He's still with us,
but he used to be so small,
and now look at Carlos.
Now he's helping give out food.
This is Barry.
Barry's part of our children
from the children's home.
Now he's big,
but he's out here working.
Here's Mickael over here
from our children's home,
but he's out here working today.
Working.
They're blessing the poor.
Love is something you do.
[music]
>> Bobby: Everybody,
and this here, you can't break
a branch off that tree.
Don't touch the tree
or the limbs or nothing,
'cause they think
this is the big voodoo tree
and spirits live in it.
And they will protect that tree,
they will protect that branch,
so don't touch the tree
in any way.
This is a big voodoo tree.
>> Sherry: I think it was
the witch doctor
who we won to the Lord
has already passed away,
and he told us
about this village
'cause his family was from here.
And so, first thing we did
was come back.
We did feeding,
then we did a mobile clinic,
then we did, like,
a crusade, evangelistic.
[singing in foreign language]
>> Sherry: He's been
a witch doctor
since he was 7 years old,
this young man.
[speaking foreign language]
>> Sherry: They said
there was a challenge of--
the witch doctor
challenged Brother Dodo
to a spirit to see
which one had the most power.
[speaking foreign language]
>> Sherry: Dodo said he gave up
all his power for Jesus.
Jesus won, no contest,
a long time ago.
>> Bobby: Lord, we just think
of this village and we
tend this village for Christ.
And Lord, several hundred people
came to Christ
in this village already.
And Lord, bless them
as they receive the food
each month, and bless
the children that have
the special feeding program,
so we can help have funds
coming in for future food
and future containers that
we don't have the money for.
And we thank you, God.
Bless this program and bless
our missionaries today,
our visitors here today.
And Lord, and bless this village
of Despeezo.
And we claim the witch doctor
for Christ right next door.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
>> Najja: The laws
of reciprocity are real.
You give,
it will be given back to you.
That's why hundreds of millions
of companies donate
and they give
to charitable organizations,
because they know
they can get back.

>> male announcer: Bobby
and Sherry Burnette
need your help immediately
to continue feeding starving
babies and children in Haiti.
$16 will provide 432 meals
for children
who have nothing to eat;
a $48 gift provides 1,296 meals;
and $120
will provide 3,240 meals
of nutritionally rich,
great-tasting food.
Your monthly gift
can be deducted automatically
from your credit card
and your gift
is urgently needed now.
Most have malnutrition,
many are abandoned,
and all of them go to sleep
hungry each night.
They are waiting
to receive this food,
but your gift
is desperately needed now.
Remember,
$16 provides 432 meals;
$48 provides 1,296 meals;
and $120 will provide
3,240 meals
for these hungry children.
Please, go to loveachild.org,
call the toll-free number,
or write to the address
on your screen and say,
"I want to help."
The Lord will bless you
according to his word
in Proverbs 28:27, which says,
"He that giveth to the poor
shall not lack."
In other words,
God takes care of those
who take care of the poor.
On behalf of
the starving children in Haiti,
thank you and may God
richly bless you.
>> Sherry: You cannot realize
the importance of this food
here in Haiti
unless you've lived in Haiti,
unless you've seen these moms,
these kids suffering,
and these moms
not knowing what they're gonna
feed their kids in the morning
before they go to school.
You know, kids are eating dirt,
mud cookies.
You know, putting dry salt
in their mouth.
You know, they're taught
to lay on their stomachs
so they won't feel
the pains of hunger.
So, it's hard for people
in the United States to
understand how difficult it is,
but this box of food that you,
our partners,
are helping to supply to them
by getting it here to Haiti,
sponsoring this food,
it's like you're sponsoring
a whole big box of gold.
That's how valuable
every single box is.
216 meals inside every box,
which is gonna help them
really feed their family.
So, the food is so valuable.
I cannot tell you
how valuable it is.
Thank you.
God bless you.
>> Bobby: You know,
in this village,
the children looks better
and the people
even look better here.
The reason why,
we've been feeding this village
for quite some time now.
You can see
how much more healthy they are,
how the food has made
their lives so much better.
Out here, there's no jobs.
There's no employment out here.
There's no factories,
there's no place to work,
but they work the land.
They work the soil here,
but they don't grow
very much out here at all.
The soil's not very good.
But you can see their health
has improved greatly.
But there's so many
other villages we're helping
and trying to help right now,
their health is in bad condition
because of the lack of food.
For 25 years of Sherry and I
living here, I've never seen
people hurting for food,
and the price of food in Haiti.
Their staple diet's
rice and beans.
I've never seen it
as high as it is right now.
No one, if they have money,
they can't afford
to buy their rice and beans
as their staple diet.
It's impossible.
And so, this food today here
is a blessing.
I mean, it's been raining,
we couldn't get out here.
The leader of the community's
been calling us
every day, "Please come.
Please come.
Please come."
So, we made it today
because there's dry ground,
good weather.
And so, God bless you.
God bless you.
Thank you for your help.

>> male announcer: Haiti is the
poorest country in the world.
Every day, children are
hungry and starving,
which in many cases
leads to death.
These children have no hope,
they have no desire for school,
no strength to play,
and no promise
of a better future.
But you can help them
change their situation
by providing food,
because food brings hope.
Will you get involved today?
Your gift of $16 will provide
432 meals,
consisting of well-balanced,
nutritionally rich,
great tasting food.
Yes, for just $16,
less than the average
restaurant meal for your family,
you will be providing 432 meals.

We cannot do everything,
but together
we can do something.
On behalf
of the hungry children of Haiti,
thank you
and may God richly bless you.
>> Bobby: May God bless you.
I just wanna give you a word
from the mission field today.
With me is little Mina.
Mina.
She's getting her food.
She was so weak,
we gotta find somebody
to care her--
carry food to her hut,
'cause she can't--
she's very skinny.
[speaking foreign language]
She's very weak.
But Mina,
love is something you do.
You know,
you go all through the Bible,
the Bible says, "God is love."
And the Bible says, you know,
"When they see
the goodness of the Lord,
it causes men to repent."
When they see the food
and see the love of God,
it just brings people to Jesus,
plus it gets them food.
But in this village out here,
we have so many people
with red hair,
which is malnutrition
from not no food.
Now I look at 'em,
they got black hair out here.
They're doing good,
the children especially.
And Mama, ha-ha-ha,
she wants to get her food.
Mama, all the kids
have red hair,
now they got--they got
red hair from malnutrition,
now they got black hair.
We had a feeding program
out here about 4 years now,
and you see how food
makes a difference.
But let God use you today.
Love is something you do.
Let God use you.
[speaking foreign language]
But love is something you.
But I wanna encourage you today,
if you're in Africa today,
or America, or no matter
where you may watch us
in America, over in London,
or Britain, or Australia,
or United States, or Canada,
let God use you.
Let God's love
shine through you.
Be kind to someone.
Let his love
shine through you that they may
see the light of the Lord,
your good works,
and glorify your Father
which is in heaven.
Let God use you today.
Get off your can
and let God use you today.
>> Sherry: You know,
when Bobby and I first moved
to Haiti many years ago,
we had large crusades,
we preached in churches,
and we promoted the gospel
all the time.
That's all that we did
for a long time.
Until one day, in one crusade,
a lady held her baby
way up above her head,
and she screamed
something in Creole.
What she said to us that day
changed our entire ministry.
You won't believe what she said.

>> announcer: Founders
of Love A Child, missionaries
Bobby and Sherry Burnette,
have been living in Haiti
since 1991.
Through the ministry
of Love A Child,
they have established multiple
outreaches to provide for,
educate, house,
and sustain the Haitian people.
With over 8,000 children
in 18 schools,
Love A Child is providing
Christian education with hot,
nutritious food and medical care
for each student daily.
Through its
food distribution programs,
Love A Child provides
1.6 million meals
to starving children each month.
Remote villages
and over 70 mission
organizations receive food
each month as a gift
from Love A Child.
Through its churches,
conferences,
evangelistic crusades,
and Christian radio station,
Love A Child is spreading
the gospel of Christ
to the regions beyond.
Love A Child ministers
to the physical needs
of Haitian people through
the Jesus Healing Center,
which sees
over 150 patients daily,
through the Malnutrition Clinic
for newborns and infants,
and through mobile
medical clinics
in mountain areas
where there is no doctor.
Love A Child disaster relief
programs provide aid
when natural disasters occur.
Several hundred homes
have been built
in Miracle Village
since the 2010 earthquake.
The new Mache Mirak,
or Miracle Market,
is stimulating the local economy
and providing hundreds of jobs
for people
who now have an income.
Love A Child's
sustainability programs
include the Tilapia Fish Farm,
the Chicken Co-Op,
the Agricultural
Training Center,
and reforestation projects.
Bobby and Sherry Burnette
have lived
in the Love A Child Orphanage
with their orphaned
and abandoned children
for over 20 years.
Currently, there are
80 children in this loving,
Christian home who are
truly the Burnette's joy.
One of Bobby's
favorite sayings is,
"Love is not something
you talk about,
but love is something you do."
Thank you, partners,
for helping Bobby and Sherry
and the ministry
of Love A Child do something
that is changing lives forever.
>> Sherry: As Bobby
has told you, I am standing
under the voodoo tree
in the main village here
in the village of Despeezo.
It's really a unique village
because the people
are really sweet,
but yet they are so bound
by fear and by voodooism.
Right in the back of me
in that direction
is the witch doctor's hut.
Everything that bad happens
probably they think
that he's made it happen
through voodoo.
So, every life is lived in fear.
And the Bible says,
"If fear has torment."
[speaking foreign language]
[music]
>> Sherry: Go ahead.
As long as you--as long as they
have a ticket,
take their ticket.
Yeah, that'd be good.
So, what we're doing right now
is we're trying to get food
to all these hungry kids.
Here, baby.
Here, baby.
And it's not easy, so we're
trying the ticket method.
Ticket, ticket.
Okay, that's good.
Bobby, you got some bowls?
Take a ticket.
>> Bobby: Yeah, I got some.
You getting the tickets, Sherry?
>> Sherry: One with ticket.
There's no easy way
of doing this
because kids are so hungry.
Another bowl.
>> Bobby: Oh,
they love this food.
>> Sherry: Praise God.
>> Bobby: It has rice inside,
peas, carrots, soy,
enough of protein
as a chicken breast,
all the minerals,
all the vitamins.
These children, 2 years ago,
had all red hair
from malnutrition.
They were
in a bad shape physically.
Now look at 'em.
I almost could cry
'cause they all got nice,
black hair from food
we've been giving them
every month.
And their skin is full of color
and it shines, but 2 years ago,
their skin was pale,
their hair was red
from malnutrition.
They didn't look good.
Now, you know,
love is something you do.
>> Najja: When you get to give
a bowl of soup to someone,
you give a bowl of soup to Jesus
and it's real.
It's not a religious thing.
It's not churchianity.

and you see God's.
If you're a believer
in Jesus Christ,
you have a chance to partner
with the kingdom of heaven
here on earth.
Don't wait for there.
Do it here.
Make heaven right here.
These people,
that's the beautiful thing.

>> Bobby:
[speaking foreign language]
This--I don't see
how she's eating this.
This is hot.
This--augh, that bowl is hot.
This is hot food.
And what we got,
each child has a ticket
and we're giving out tickets
so we can
keep everything in order.
If not, it'd be total confusion.
It'd be total chaos.
But it's highly organized.
And also, the food distribution
each month in this village
and all the other villages,
they have food cards.
But I just wanna take a minute
and explain to you,
inside this food is rice,
real rice.
When you fix it,
you boil water for 20 minutes,
you pour
the package of food in there.
Each package has enough
for 6 meals.
You pour that in there.
It's real rice, soy,
enough protein
as a chicken breast.
Got peas, carrots, onions,
all the minerals
and vitamins that you need
for the human body.
[speaking foreign language]
I love--I said,
"You love my food?"
"Ooh, I love my food."
You know she hasn't stopped?
Hey, they don't stop eating.
They love this food.
You know why?
They're hungry.
I just pray that you'll help us
continue feeding these children.
Without you, we can't--
I'm gonna tell you,
we live in Haiti,
Sherry and I, for 25 years.
Our biggest burden is bringing
in the containers of food
to feed the people.
That's our biggest burden,
that's our biggest
financial load.
Some months, it's overwhelming
to us financially.
Please help us continue
to feed these children.
You know,
here's how you can help.
I tell you, for a gift of $16,
you can supply 432 meals.
For a gift of $48,
you can supply 1,296 meals.
For a gift of $120,
you can supply 3,240 meals.
Think about it.
For a gift of $1,000,
you can supply 27,000 meals.
For a gift of $10,000,
if God blessed you--
I've been feeling this
on my heart
during the whole program.
For a gift of $10,000,
you can supply
a 40-foot container of meals.
Actually,
we say there's 270,000,
but there's really 272,000 meals
in that container for $10,000.
Help today.
Feed My Staving Children
donates us the food,
but that container of food
costs them $65,000.
But then, it costs us $10,000
to ship it down here.
But for a cost of $10,000
to ship it down here
and distribute it,
when we see food value,
a real value,
at $65,000 that was paid for
by Feed My Starving Children.
So, what a gift.
What an opportunity
to feed the poor,
and to bless the poor,
and let God bless you.
When you feed the poor,
God'll bless you,
Psalms 41, verse 1, 2, and 3.
And you know, Bible says,
"When we giveth unto the poor,
we lendeth unto the Lord."
God pays the best dividends.
He pays more than stocks,
or mutual funds, or hedge funds.
God is the best banker
if you bless the poor,
especially the children,
which is why
Sherry and I live here.
They have stolen our hearts,
and I pray
they'll steal your heart today.
God bless you.
