[music]
>> David George: They've got
to know that this is a curse,
and that Jesus has redeemed us
from the curse.
This is poverty
in the nth degree
that I've ever seen
around the world,
in 42 countries.
I want to emphasize
that mud cookies,
or what the Haitians call,
"té" is not a myth.
They are very, very real.
It's the reality of hunger
because they help
prevent hunger.
>> Julie Burnette Halecki:
And for an American,
as we're sitting there
and we're watching this TV,
you're sitting
in your air-conditioned home,
I am telling you,
this is a real life.
I am in a cave
that these kids come and work in
every single day.
It's 100 degrees.
They don't have food.
They don't have water.
They don't have an education.
This is their life.
I can't imagine my son
coming in and out of this cave
every day,
and this is what he has to eat.
[music]
>> Bobby: Well,
may God bless you.
Here we are in Sapaterre, Haiti.
Sherry and I, with our team,
and we're at a place
where they'll make the majority
of the mud cookies for Haiti.
They make
thousands of them here.
And during this program,
you're gonna hear the story
how we first started here,
helpin' the people.
Then we brought in food.
We brought in food again.
Then we brought in clothes.
>> Sherry Burnette: You know,
Bobby, we promised
the people we'd be back.
We've fed 'em once.
We've come back again.
And it's so important
when you make a promise
to keep your word
to these people
because they look at us now
as bringing the gospel too.
So this is just so wonderful.
I mean, people who are just
sitting there in the mud
all day long,
now they're gonna have
a box of food with their family,
and a gift bag too
with great things inside.
>> Bobby: Ooh la la.
>> all: Ooh la la.
>> Bobby: Ooh la la.
>> Sherry: Ohh!
>> Sherry: What a blessing,
you all.
Hey, thank you so much
for responding to this story
and for helping us
to feed these people.
Thank you.
>> Bobby: Come on back with us.
Each box of food
will last a family
for about a month.
But we're also gettin' ready
to bring in the Word of God.
We're gettin' ready
to do a crusade out here.
And now, actually, right now,
we're bringin' in spiritual food
today for life.
In about 2 hours,
they're already
starting to come,
we're havin' it
under this tarp back here,
and a crusade.
It's actually
an open-air crusade.
And the people are hungry.
They want us to come.
They want to hear about Jesus.
Last night
we showed the Jesus film
that they was focused on that.
Matter of fact, Sherry,
I don't know if you heard 'em.
The witch doctor
just walked by me.
>> Sherry: He just walked by,
and shook my hand,
and said, "Welcome.
>> Bobby: He said, "Welcome."
He said,
"And I'll be in church tonight."
The local witch doctor will.
Just before we did this,
he just walked by.
He's gonna come to Jesus.
But anyhow, well, but we came
in this area for Christ.
But during this program,
you're gonna hear
the whole story about Sapaterre,
and how God sent us out here,
you and I together.
Sherry?
>> Sherry: The Bible says,
"It's the goodness of God
that leads men to repentance."
We don't have to hit 'em
on the head with the Bible
and tell 'em how bad they are.
They already know
they need help.
But, "It's the goodness of God
that leads men to repentance."
And now the Lord is sayin',
"Get ready for a harvest
here in Sapaterre."
>> Bobby: And Sherry,
they're workin', helpin' set
the crusade up right now.
>> Sherry: Right,
I gotta go change
in just a second for church.
>> Bobby: She's gonna go
get in her church clothes.
But love is somethin' you do.
You're gonna enjoy the story
today of Sapaterre,
the land, the country,
the area of mud cookies.
[music]
[music]
[music]
>> Sherry: Ohh, ay yai!
>> Bobby: Hey, cologne.
>> Sherry: Whoo.
>> Bobby: Ooh la la.
>> all: Ooh la la.
>> Bobby: Ooh la la.
>> Sherry: Ohh.
[music]
>> David: This mud and clay,
whatever you wanna call it,
that's coming out of here,
is bein' used
to feed the bellies of people.
That's not right.
Not only are the people
in the Sapaterre area
eating these mud cookies,
they are literally shipping them
all around Haiti,
where people in different places
in this country
are buyin' these cookies
and then they're eating them
to fill their stomachs.
So not only can we change
the Sapaterre area,
but this can also have
a ripple effect where it changes
other areas all over Haiti.
And I'm just totally,
I'm burdened by it.
I'm grieved by it.
And to know that, you know,
these precious people
live like this.
>> Betchina Joseph:
[speaking foreign language]
>> male announcer: Bobby
and Sherry Burnette
need your help immediately
to stop hungry babies,
starving children,
and pregnant women
from eating mud cookies
in the country of Haiti.
Every day,
children are dying
from malnutrition,
and the parasites and diseases
they contract
from eating these cookies
made from dirt
only hastens this process.
They have nothing to satisfy
the gnawing pains of hunger.
You can help
improve their situation
by feeding them now:
$16 will sponsor 2 families
who have nothing to eat
for an entire month;
$48 will sponsor 6 families
for a month;
and $120 will sponsor
15 families for a month
with nutritionally rich,
great-tasting food.
Any amount will help,
and your sacrificial gift
is urgently needed now.
On the behalf of Bobby
and Sherry, and the starving
children of Haiti, thank you,
and may God richly bless you.
>> Kaeli Fletcher: No shoes,
sweating, they have no water.
I just, I don't,
I can't even take it all in.
>> Julie: They go for days
without food, and still
come here in these caves
and work all day long,
just to make mud cookies.
>> Kaeli: And then the things
that they do eat, this is mud.
[music]
[music]
>> Anouce Joseph:
[speaking foreign language]
[music]
>> Sherry: My heart
was really touched
when I came here the first time
and I saw these women
just sitting here in the mud,
and the children
sitting here in the mud.
They've never had
anything pretty.
They've never had anything
to make them smell good,
any perfume, any scarves,
any candy, anything.
Just sitting here,
making this té all day long,
and eating it, and selling it.
That's all their life
has consisted of.
But you know,
when Jesus comes in,
he comes to bring us
good things.
And even a gift bag like this,
it means a lot to these people.
It's just, it's gonna bring joy
to their lives today.
But let me show you,
if this is the first time
you've ever seen this program,
what they do for a living.
Come with me.
So they have everybody
in the village
makes these mud cookies.
They sit here,
the ladies sit here in the mud
all day long.
They're straining it,
getting all
the little rocks out.
And then they're gonna
take this mud,
they're gonna make
little mud cookies
and put 'em in the sun.
But they also have to taste them
to make sure that they're right.
And so even the children
in the village
make these cookies.
And then they sell them
all throughout Haiti
because there's so many children
that are hungry.
And you know, we came in,
and we started
bringing 'em food,
and we want to do it
on a monthly basis.
We're back here again.
But this time,
we wanted to bring something
to let them know
that they're lives
are beautiful.
You know, even in the midst
of all this mud,
and all this depression
that they go through every day,
the Lord loves them.
He has not forgotten them.
And that's the message today,
that they are not forgotten.
They may be here
behind the trees
and the bushes over here,
and maybe they've felt
all their life
that nobody cared about them.
But today is the day
that they need to know
that you care about them.
Because you help us,
and you represent any good thing
that goes on today.
They are not forgotten.
They are not the least.
Everyone is important to Jesus.
>> Dodo:
[speaking foreign language]
>> Jean-Baptiste:
[speaking foreign language]
>> Sherry: In this area
that we are right now,
Sapaterre,
the whole center area of Hinche,
this is where almost
probably 90%
of all the mud cookies in Haiti
are made right here.
They go to all parts of Haiti,
from the north part,
to Cap-Haitian, to l'Artibonite
where we have a school,
Pétionville.
They go all over Haiti.
This is their source of income.
So that's why it's so important
for two things to happen.
Number one,
we can help these people
find another source of income
so that they can still
have a job,
but not make
all those mud cookies
that make children so sick.
And the second thing
is to help feed
the hungry children
so they won't need
those mud cookies.
Food is always the bridge
to get people to a job.
We believe in sustainability.
We believe in work.
We believe in getting them jobs.
And we wanna do that.
That's called food for life.
But when a stomach
is hungry right now,
we have to feed
the stomach right now.
And they need food right now.

>> Bobby: Well,
may God bless ya.
Let me give ya a word
for the mission field.
Jesus said, Mark 16:15, he said,
"Go ye into all the world
and preach the gospel
to every creature.'"
Well, today,
right now, tonight,
we're in Sapaterre, Haiti.
Gotta kinda hurry up.
Sherry just got up there
right now.
And they're lookin' for me
to come up right behind her.
But tonight,
David George is gonna preach
the gospel tonight.
And then tomorrow night,
I'm gonna bring the Word of God.
But this is where they make
their mud cookies
for the majority of Haiti.
And they sell all over Haiti.
Matter of fact,
this land belongs
to a witch doctor.
He was just here,
2 foot from me, a while ago.
He just left.
But Jesus is gonna come to him.
But tonight we're in a crusade
here in Sapaterre, Haiti.
Jesus said,
"Go ye into all the world
and preach the gospel
to every creature."
Let God use you.
You know, in the book of Acts,
he said, "We must preach
in Jerusalem, in Judaea,
Samaria, and unto the uttermost
parts of the earth."
Where will God send you?
He may send you
to Sapaterre, Haiti.
He may send you to Haiti.
He may send you to China.
He may send you to Asia.
He may send you
to a Muslim country.
He may send you
to South America.
God may send you
to your next-door neighbor
to be a witness for Jesus.
Let your light shine.
Well, I gotta go.
I hear, she said,
"Bobby a vini."
That means,
"Bobby's gonna come."
Well, God bless ya,
and I'll be introducin'
David George,
the preacher tonight.
Let God use you.
We love you.
Thank you for all of you
who talk part of this crusade
under the open air,
under a tarp,
in the middle of nowhere,
to proclaim the light of Jesus,
the power of Jesus.
God bless ya.
Well, I better go, bye-bye.

This is poverty
in the nth degree
that I've ever seen
around the world,
in 42 countries.
And to see the need here,
number one,
it's a spiritual need.
>> David: But Jesus came back.
and Jesus said,
"Give me your hand
and I'll pull you out."
That's what Jesus does.
He gets you out of the mud.
He gets you
out of the depression.
He gets you
out of your discouragement.
He gets you out of your sin
and he gives you life.
He gives you hope.
That's what Jesus does.
Everybody give God
a clap offering.
>> David: Number two, it's food.
They definitely need food here.
And this is why it really
has touched my heart
just by bein' in this hole
in this cave right here,
knowin' that this mud and clay,
whatever you wanna call it,
that's coming out of here,
is bein' used to feed
the bellies of people.
That's not right.
That is not right.
And we've got to help

is bein' released,
"Love is Something You Do."
You know, it's all about Haiti,
and the adventures of Haiti.
Sherry and I, as missionaries,
living in Haiti.
And all about the children
who steals your heart.
But it's also about earlier days
in America.
And one of the stories
in the book
is about when I first learned
to fly an airplane.
The first hour
when I got my license,
Mr. Faith wanted a ride.
He didn't know
I'd just got my license.
And we hit a bad weather.
And oh,
he thought we was gonna crash.
And he was married,
and he was holy.
But all of a sudden,
he started confessing his sins.
I told him, I turned around,
I said,
"Brother, tell God everything."

the rest of the story,

>> Julie: Less than 1,000 miles
away from Florida,
and my son
lives in Orlando, Florida.
And I'm sitting here.
I'm holding this clay
in my hand.
And I can't imagine
my son coming in
and out of this cave every day,
and this is what he has to eat.
>> Kaeli: And when I come
to Haiti and I see these kids
living like this,
I try to think of every kid
that I see
as if they were my niece.
I could never let that happen
to my niece,
so why let these kids live it?
>> announcer: The curse
of poverty is destroying
the lives of people in Haiti,
especially hungry babies,
starving children,
and pregnant women.
The Living Bible
says in Proverbs 10:15:
"The poor man's poverty
is his only curse."
Will you do something now
to help break
the curse of poverty
over these poor people?
Will you help improve
their situation?
Will you pray for them?
Will you consider their plight
by asking God
what sacrificial gift
you can send now?
Will you partner
with Bobby and Sherry Burnette
to help break
the curse of poverty now
in the country of Haiti?
Remember Psalm 41:1 says:
"Blessed is he
who considereth the poor."
>> Bobby: Well,
may God bless you.
This is a very important
part of the program.
You know, we have been here
distributing food,
we've been back
givin' out clothes,
and helping the people here.
And now, of course,
we're gettin' ready to go back.
This is our third night.
We're gettin' ready
to go in this service,
just right across the road here.
We're giving them
spiritual food.
And of course,
there's a fire
right in front of us
that needs a pot of food
cookin' over it.
These poor people.
They're hungry for God
and they have very little food
out here.
I've never seen
anything like it.
We do not have the funds
to continue the food out here
to bring to the people.
And I tell ya, of all the places
I've been in Haiti, Sherry--
>> Sherry: These are
the sweetest,
most humble people in the world.
>> Bobby: The most.
They make mud cookies
for a living.
They just make pennies.
This is such a need.
It's really an emergency.
It will not only
feed these people,
but go to other areas
where the mud cookies are sold,
Haitians call, "Té,"
to have food there
so they can stop buyin'
so much of these té,
or mud cookies.
We're tryin' to prevent this
and supply food,
nourishing food,
for the Haitian people, Sherry.
>> Sherry: You know, and Bobby,
also, we understand
that food is the bridge.
We have to help them right now
because they're hungry.
And food is the bridge.
But the next step
is the sustainability, jobs,
and some kind of
creation of jobs out here.
And we just pray and say,
"God, what do you want us
to do for these people?"
And we know that there's a plan
that God has.
But right now,
for this immediate need,
it is food to feed
these children,
to feed the people around here.
You know, one of our friends
just recently went in today
and went down in the hole
where they dig the dirt up
with these mud cookies.
And he came out.
And as the car's
driving down the road,
he had to get out and stop,
and started crying
along the road.
He held the mud cookies
in his hand, and he sobbed,
and he said,
"I can't believe that children
are eating this stuff."
And you know, it is true.
We're right here
in the village with 'em.
Hungry children eat everything.
But listen,
you can help right now.
You're not watching this program
by accident.
Bobby's gonna come and tell ya
how you can help.
Please don't say,
"I can't do anything."
You can do something.
Let God use you
to help us feed
these hungry children
right now, please.
>> Bobby: Here's how you
can help: $16 will help feed
2 entire families,
large families,
for a gift of $16 for a month;
for a gift of $48,
it will feed and supply
6 families for an entire month;
and for a gift of $120,
it will supply 15 families
for an entire month's worth
of life-saving food.
The toll-free number's
on the screen.
You can call
the toll free right now.
Please, everybody, do something.
>> Sherry: Please do something.
>> Bobby: To call
the toll-free number,
you may put it
on your credit card.
Or give by online,
by your computer.
It is secure.
Give online.
Or you may mail your check
in the mail to Love a Child.
The widow's mite counts.
Every penny counts.
And this is an emergency.
Please let God use you today.
Please, everybody do something.
We're gonna send you back
a special picture,
a special photo,
and one of the special
thank-you letters.
>> Sherry: Yeah, and let me just
say something else, Bobby,
while we're, just right before
we go off the air.
You know, for $10,000,
if you're a business person,
or maybe God has blessed you,
you inherited some money,
or won the lottery, or whatever,
you know, and you're prayin'
about what to do
with this money,
$10,000 will supply
a whole container of food,
272,000 meals.
And we can spread
that to so many villages.
So if something great
has happened in your life
and you're saying,
"God, where do you want
this money to go?"
This is where it should go,
feeding hungry children.
>> Bobby: Oh,
let God use ya now.
There's a opportunity
for God to use ya.
Sherry and I have lived here
for 25 years in Haiti.
We're gettin' ready to go
to a service now.
We promised 'em we'd come back.
We're givin' 'em
some spiritual food tonight.
But tomorrow
they'll have to have a pot
on the fire to eat food.
>> Sherry: Make it happen,
please.
>> Bobby: Make it happen.
You can make it happen.
You can make a difference.
>> Sherry: We need you so bad.
Thank you so much.
