Blessing Then and Now

     Many of you may recognize little Blessing that came to us last year. She has grown up so much since then. She loves to talk and calls everything an mtoto (meaning child) these days. Above is her picture when she first came to us. Below is a photo that was taken a couple of days ago. Our little girl started taking her first steps! She is still a little shaky and has a hard look of concentration on her face, but when she reaches you and grabs on to your hands she gets a big smile on her face. Please continue to pray for this precious little girl as she continues to grow.

Jude

 

 

Jude went home yesterday with his mom and dad. What a special occasion to be a part of. Thankful for God providing a family for this cute little guy. How special to be part of a moment when you can see the love written all over his parents' faces. I feel so blessed to be able to see and take part in these precious moments.

Requests and Praises

 

     A lot has been happening in the last couple of weeks and I am sorry I have not been completely up to date. I have been having trouble with my internet. Below is a photo of a little boy named Caleb David. He arrived at the Baby Centre a couple of days ago. Please pray for him.

What was written about Caleb David on the Baby Centre Facebook page yesterday:

      Yesterday we received a call from the Children's Officer in Nakuru about a little one that they were requesting that we come pick up immediately. He is a very sick little boy and our nurses and caregivers worked around the clock all night to take care of him. Also, Robyn Moore was visiting today so she helped decide that he needed to go to Tenwek Hospital. We sent him this afternoon and are awaiting Tenwek's recommendation on treatment. His name is Caleb David and he is between 15-18 months old and weighed in at a small 6.6 kilograms (14-1/2 lbs.). Please keep Caleb David in your prayers.

The following was an update that was posted today:

He remains at Tenwek under their care. He is still receiving oxygen and IV fluids, but seems to be doing better today. Please continue your prayers for him.

 

     Above is a picture of a little boy named Baraka (which means Blessing) who is 4 days old. He joined us at the Baby Centre today, weighing in at 6 lbs. 10 oz. Pray for him as he adjusts to his new surroundings and that he would grow to know God and His love for him.

 

 

     Above is a picture of Kenneth Robert. My mother made me aware I had posted him somewhere else, but not on my blog. He arrived at the Baby Centre on April 8th. Sorry for the late introduction to some of you. He is about 5 months old.

 

 

     Last, but certainly not least, I am excited to share with you that Silas went home with his forever family on Monday! As we were sending him off, his parents could not stop smiling. It melted my heart when the father got up to speak, said his name, and then introduced himself as the father of Silas. Please pray for this new family as they grow together. That Silas would grow into a great man of God.



Fab 5

I am so excited to share today that the Fab 5 - Beatrice, Titus, Josephine, Mary and David were reunited with their grandmother. Praise the Lord for answered prayer!

While we were at retreat little Titus also went home with his new family. Sorry, no pic at this time. Please pray for our children as they adjust to their new homes. Pray for them that they grow into the young men and women God wants them to become.

New Addition

Christine Catherine is the latest addition to the AGC Baby Centre. She arrived yesterday at two days old. Please pray that God would begin to work in the hearts of a family for her. Pray that she will grow strong and healthy.
