On January 12, 2010, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the country of Haiti. The world reacted in shock to the news reports of the devastation. Immediately responding to the catastrophe were Love A Child ministry founders Bobby and Sherry Burnette, who had somehow escaped death. In the days following, they came to believe they had been spared in order to minister to the desperate needs all around them. When the earthquake hit, Bobby and Sherry had already served in Haiti for many years. Love Is Something You Do is the extraordinary narrative of the Burnettes’ lifelong journey of faith and compassion. If you love a great story, find a place to settle in and read one fascinating account after another. Travel the path that led them to Haiti—a land of mountains, colorful cultures, and insightful proverbs, but also of extreme poverty, oppressive voodoo, and despair. Experience their early years in street ministry, their life-threatening adventures and accidents, their incidents of miraculous healings and financial provision, and their standoffs with witch doctors and evil spirits. Above all, be renewed by their message of hope and peace, through which they continue to transform people’s lives spiritually, physically, educationally, and vocationally—giving Haitians a life of dignity and purpose they had never dreamed possible.
“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”—1 Corinthians 13:13 Walking by faith and not by sight, Bobby and Sherry Burnette serve as full-time missionaries in Haiti, ministering to the poorest of the poor, spreading the Word of God, and showing Christ’s love by example. They feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, and heal the sick. It has always been a joy, but it hasn’t always been easy. They wake up early each day—usually 4:00 a.m.—to spend time together in prayer and reading God’s Word. Many of the thoughts in this book, Faith, Hope, and Love Devotional: A 90-Day Walk with God, came out of what God taught them during this precious time. Others came later in the day, when God brought back to their hearts and minds the insights He had revealed in the early morning hours. Faith, hope, and love are the three spiritual elements we need in our lives every day. While the lessons Bobby and Sherry present were learned on the mission field, they are true for everyone, everywhere. This is the nature of God’s truth. It works in Haiti, and it will work for you, wherever you are in the world. In this devotional, the Burnettes share their struggles and their triumphs, all the while rejoicing that the Lord is always faithful to His promise to help them as they help others in this land of mountains and beauty, poverty and voodoo. Join them in ninety days of prayer and Scripture readings as they share touching and humorous stories from their lives and the gospel.

An autobiography, this is a first-hand account of a troubled teen who had way more than his fair share of misfortune. Born bald and innocent, Bobby was just three years old when his father died. The sun rose and set many times before his hair grew long and trouble came knocking at his door. Following in his father's footsteps, a guy who never learned to slow down and who died young, Bobby makes his first trip to reform school at age fourteen, quickly learning that he is as tough or tougher than the other young outlaws on the block. Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll are all part of his personality, and the girls think he is pretty cool. After a terrible motorcycle crash in 1981, Bobby is paralyzed from his chest to the tips of his toes. He is lucky to be alive and he knows it. This troubled teen develops into a man who hopes his story will help turn other people "from their evil ways." Bobby Fordham says, "I am a T-4 paraplegic, which put an abrupt end to my criminal career and fist fighting days.
