Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Jamie leaves for Kenya at the end of January and thanks to generous donors, he will be taking much needed clothes to the babies at the baby center. The October team saw first hand how desperate the need for the larger size clothing was. A donation of gently used size 2T and 3T clothes were left at the ministry center and they were exactly what the babies were low on. Also some teenagers sold items at a garage sale this summer and used the money to buy some clothes and towels for the babies. The caregivers at the center will be so delighted when they get them - I wish those who donated could be there to see! It is always so exciting to see all of the different ways God uses his people to supply the babies needs!

We Have A New Baby! - January 2009

Baby John joined the baby center familyin December 2008. He was welcomed by his 27 brothers and sisters. He is a cutie! Please pray that God will touch a couple's heart to adopt Jonathon. And continue to pray for parents for all of the babies currently residing at the baby center.

Michelle's wedding gift

Michelle Mast and her dad Denny went with an NMC work team to Kenya to the baby center in December 2007. She fell in love with the babies there and continued to pray and share about them long after she came home. When Michelle married Mike Marshall on November 21, 2008 she wanted the babies in Kenya to be a part of the ceremony. At the reception at each place setting was a tea candle with the following message attached:
A donation has been made in your name to the Africa Gospel Church Baby Center in Kenya. This candle represents the abandoned and the broken. Take your candle and go light your world!
Mike & Michelle

Thank you Mike and Michelle for sharing your special day with babies half a world away! May God bless you both as you begin your new life together!

WE HAVE WATER!!!!!!

We finally heard the words we have been waiting for this morning "we have water"! Billy Fuller reported the well casing is 117 meters (384 ft.), the well head is pumping water and the water tastes great. Billy drank right from the well tap which makes me really jealous. Billy invited us for steaks on his grill tonight and I just might take him up on that one! (Could be tough getting to Kenya by supper time) The aquifer is LARGE and appears very clean. We have shipped a water sample to be tested and will have the results within 2 days. Margie is sending pictures today so we will get them up on the blog as soon as we can. Thank our Father in heaven tonight for His faithfulness! He is bigger than any problem we face today, tomorrow or next week!

Almost There!

We received word that we are at 105 meters (344 ft.). We have a steady supply of water and should be at the correct depth within the next few days!!! We expect a phone call sometime over the next two days to announce the drilling has ceased and we are ready to hook up the wellhead. Once the drilling has stopped we will be ready to construct a small pump house. The brick material to build the pump house was donated by the lady we bought the land from. She has become a great friend to the baby center. God has been so good in supplying us everything we need on this project. Continue to pray for wisdom as we begin the next phase in this project.
