Those Who Cannot Speak

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute….defend the rights of the poor and needy.” ~Proverbs 31:8-9~
Normally our updates are full of photos of smiling, chubby-cheeked babies. We love those kinds of photos. They are fun and joyful and make us smile back. They remind us of the reason we are here. Today I don’t have a photo of a smiling baby to send. But this photo reminds us even more of the reason that we are here.
Moses Kibet (yes, he’s our second Moses Kibet) arrived from a town a few hours away. A children’s officer phoned to say there was a baby who had been abandoned and was in need, so we said, “Bring him.” We are so glad that we did. Moses is approximately 4 months old, but weighs only 3.5kgs. He is very malnourished and in great need of some good food and loving care. Little Moses has arrived to us truly “destitute,” and we pray that Jesus will enable us to provide for him all that is his right as a child—good food, a warm bed, some happy play time, and especially loving care.
So as the day draws to a close here at AGC Baby Centre, we are full once more—36 precious little lives in our hands. Each child has the right to be cared for, to be loved. For those of you who are partners with AGC Baby Centre, THANK YOU for defending the rights of Moses (and others like him). THANK YOU for speaking up for them through your prayers, your giving, your encouragement, your work for us!
On behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves,
