New Babies at Christmas

     We welcomed little Shem to the Baby Centre a few days ago. He is about one and a half years old. I loved taking his photo. When I first went to take his picture he gave me a little smile, but before I could snap the photo he turned it into this cute little pout. I tried to take multiple photos and got the same result every time. He is doing well.

     Here is a picture of little Mercy. She is 3 weeks old and weighs a little over 7 pounds.

 

 

 

This tiny guy is Victor. He is 4 weeks old and weighs a little over 7 pounds.

 

 

     Please pray for these and our other children as they wait and long for a forever family of their own.

Melody

    

     We are so happy here at the Baby Centre, as another one of our precious children has become a part of a forever family. Pictured here are Melody and her mom and dad.

Thanksgiving

     Over the last week, two of our precious girls have gone home to forever families. What are we doing? Praising the Lord for answered prayer. I know many of you pray for the children here at the AGC Baby Centre and for a family for them. God has answered our prayers. Thank you for remembering to lift the children up in prayer.

Happenings Galore

     The first week of September marked one year of my being in Kenya working at the Africa Gospel Church Baby Centre. So much has happened since I got here, but one of my favorite things is to see families adopt one of our sweet children.

 

This is a photo of Eve and her mom. Eve went home last week.

 

 

Above is a photo of Josiah and his new Mom and Dad. Josiah left today with his new family. We are praising the Lord for providing for our children to have forever families.

 

 

 

Above is a photo of Moses and his new Mom and Dad. He also went home with his family today.

 

It has been very busy around here these days, not only with the children who have gone home but God has also brought us other children to take care of.

 

 

Here is a photo of our newest arrival. His name is Harrison. He is about 6 months old and came weighing over 19 pounds.

 

Another child that God has entrusted to our care is Emmanuel Gideon. He is a little over one week old and he weighs about 6 pounds.

 

Please continue to pray for all of our children. Pray for Godly families who would step forward to raise one of the children as their own. Pray for those who already have a forever family.

 

Also, we have an update on baby Daniel. Thanks for praying for him. He returned to us over the weekend.

 

Update on Daniel

Here is the latest update on Daniel from the AGC Baby Centre Facebook page:
     Just a quick update on Daniel Obidiah. He remains at Tenwek and is on an IV. They are also giving him milk by mouth but very small amounts. We need to keep him in our prayers.

Baby Daniel

Just a quick post today. Please be praying for little Baby Daniel. He was taken to Tenwek Hospital yesterday. He could use your prayers.

If you do not remember who he is, scroll down just a little ways. The first picture below this post is Angel and then the next one down is Daniel Obadiah, and that is the little guy who could use your prayers.

Meet Angel

 

     Angel is the latest child to join us at the Baby Centre. She is 6 days old and weighs about 2.75 kilos. She is a precious little girl who makes some great faces at me already. Pray for her to grow strong. We thank God for her life.

Meet Daniel

     Here is a picture of our newest addition. His name is Daniel Obadiah. He is five days old today. He weighs 2.75 kilos. Please pray for this new little life. Pray for him to have good health and adjust well to being here with us.

Kathleen and Blessing

     Kathleen is a sweet eight month old girl, who weighs around 15 pounds. She joined us at the Baby Center a couple of weeks ago.

     I am so excited to share that Blessing has gone home with her mom. Thanking God for another forever family that has been formed.

Busy Days

     These are special days here at the Baby Centre. We have had two children who became part of a forever family.

     The above picture is of Lewis and his new mom and dad. We are so thankful to these parents for coming and loving one of our babies as their own. They introduced themselves as the mom and dad of Lewis when they spoke to us as he was leaving. Thank God for providing this family for Lewis.

     What a sweet moment to see Emmanuel bonding with his new mom and dad. His parents were very sweet people. At one point Emmanuel had climbed out of his mom's lap to go play with a toy on the ground and one of the other children walked up to her and held their arms out to be held. She was so loving and picked up the other child and held him and loved on him until Emmanuel returned to be picked up. Thankful for God providing such wonderful parents to our kids.

     On top of children going home, we have also had some that arrived. Please pray for these new children as they adjust to being at the Baby Centre.

    Meet Joshua. He has been here for a few weeks and is settling in well. His smile lights up a room and he loves to copy people.

     Meet Phillip. He arrived here just a few days ago. He is about 1 week old and weighs around 7 pounds.

Pics, Pics and More Pics

     Last week we had a group here who did an amazing job on putting up a fence for our Wing B kids. It is a beautiful area for the kids to play in, and is now even more safe since so many of the kids are walking and crawling all over the place. We are so thankful for the teams' hard work on getting this project finished.

 

 

     The group also helped to repaint some of the children's outdoor playground equipment. They painted their slide, the swing sets and the monkey bars that were put in a few months ago.

     Below are some updated photos of some of our kids. The first two are of Naomi and Jonathan when they first arrived, followed by photos from just a couple of days ago. It is amazing to be able to see them grow from tiny infants into a brother and sister who follow each other around as they crawl and are trying to pull themselves up. Jonathan likes to crawl into the closet when I am working in there and try to walk off with clothes!

Moses loves to smile.

     Photographs are very hard to take here some days. The kids all love to have their photos taken, so they will often climb on or in front of the person you are trying to take a photo of. Or as you can see from Blessing's picture they also like to try to touch or hold the camera. They also do not sit still for very long so that makes for some slightly blurry pictures or part of their head being cut off in the photo.

Eva was the original target of the photograph, but Michael decided to pop in!

     Those are all of the photos I have for right now, but check back again soon for another set. Please remember to keep these children in your prayers. Pray for good health and development and for the parents we know God will provide for them. Please also pray for me as I work to help them in their development that God would show me how best to help each child. Please also pray as I prepare a VBS for the kids about the characteristics of God, that it would help them to know Him better. Thanks for following me on this journey!
