The Number is 35

Posted by on September 19, 2008 in Children's Home

The number is now 35 children in our care. These are children who are either abandoned or orphaned. We have older kids and new born babies. The older children like Merna, who lost both parents, is being educated and supported by us as we watch over her well-being. She is happy, loved and has a lot of friends. Merna is one of the 35 souls we have been given to provide a happy and nurturing life.

Esther Scarborough wrote about the most recent additions to our Children’s Home. She wrote, “We have two new babies–one was to be aborted but after counselling the mother chose to keep her and give her to us. The baby has a full head of hair and is gorgeous – she needs sponsorship. The second one is the result of rape and also a dear little girl.”

I spoke at the dedication of the Children’s Home and knew there would be more than the 11 children we had at that time. Now there are 35 lives to guide and support. We will give them all we can and provide for a happy and nurturing years as they grow up.
