More Nativity Pictures

It was quite a feat to get all of the kids to sit (or stand) in one spot long enough to get a good picture to use for the christmas cards! These are some of the other pictures taken that day. All donors to the baby center and sponsors in the adopt a baby program should have received a christmas card from the baby center. If you didn't and would like one please comment below and let me know your

name and address!

Merry Christmas!

As I think today about the baby Jesus, I am filled with thanks for His coming! My life has been changed and blessed because of this one little baby - Immanuel, Wonderful Counselor, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. He has brought salvation to the world and to me! How can I not rejoice and celebrate His birth!

I also think of another baby. In fact about 70 little babies run thru my mind. They also have changed and blessed my life. Not in the same way as Jesus, but in a significant way as well. They are God's blessing to all of us. Sweet, innocent, beautiful and vulnerable, they require our love and support to make it another day. I am so thankful to all of the donors and sponsors of the babies of the AGC Baby Center. Without you, they would not be here to celebrate Christ's birth today. You are a blessing and I pray you are filled with God's love as you celebrate the baby He sent for you!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Children of Mathare

These pictures were taken when the NMC team visited the Mathare Slum. These beautiful children live in some of the toughest conditions I have seen. It is hard to imagine what their futures will hold. But one thing I know: God sees them, He loves them, He has a plan for their lives, He wants to give them a hope and a future. We were so blessed to show them God's love, even if it was just for a few hours. We pray that many more will listen to God's call and reach out to these precious children! I read that it would take 13 years of consistent international effort to eradicate the slums. That seems almost impossible, but with God nothing is impossible. I am going to pray that very soon, those 13 years will begin and the children of the future will not know the hardships that these young ones have known!
