MoMo and Ben Video - June 2009

These videos of MoMo and Ben don't acurately show MoMo's true personality. He appears shy and quiet here, but he is usually quite active and outgoing!

PLEASE PRAY FOR RAIN IN KENYA!

Just saw the following post on facebook from WGM:

"WorldGospel Mission Kenya is in need of rain as crops are beginning to fail. The rains ended early and many families are facing prolonged famine as a result of the drought conditions. Please pray for God’s divine intervention."

The baby center well continues to provide water for the babies, our crops and the surrounding community at this time.

Water Project - June 2009

The team was very interested in visiting the water project while they were in Kenya. It was quite an adventure traveling out there as they are working on the road but not quite finished with it yet. So there is a long diversion where the road is quite bumpy and dusty. We were so excited to see how things were going at the water project. The gardens looked awesome! Everything was so lush and green and soon will be ready to be harvested! We have fruit trees, tomatoes, beans, cabbage, banana trees and probably more that I've even forgotten! This garden alone will be such a big support to the baby center. And then include the water on top of that and this project is such an investment into the future of countless babies lives! Along with the visit to the water project plot, two of our team members (Monica Lengacher and Ben Schrock) were able to ride along on some water deliveries. They enjoyed the challenge of narrow roads and driveways and watching the cisterns being filled. They also said several people were writing down the telephone # so that they could also have deliveries made to their homes. While at the baby center we witnessed countless numbers of people coming right to the gate to purchase water for their homes. It was amazing to see how God is providing not only for the baby center, but also for the surrounding community! Please pray that this project continues to thrive and that everyone involved will work to the best of their ability. In the pictures above, the gate is what was originally on the property and led to the AGC Missions plot which is right next to the Water Project. The pictures of the flowers above are on the Missions plot. As you can see, the area is quite beautiful

Moses (Mo Mo) - June 2009

Mo Mo is now the oldest child at the baby center! And he takes his role as big brother seriously! NOT!!!
Mo Mo doesn't take anything too seriously. Anyone who has ever met him has a smile come to their face when they are asked about Mo Mo! He is such a character! One thing this team noticed is that Mo Mo always walks around with one red flip flop on. And it is always on the same foot! I've seen both flip flops but he prefers to wear one! One day Mo Mo was able to make an escape out of the nursery during bathtime. He went streaking through the play area where the team was working on the fence. He wasn't wearing a thing except...you guessed it: that one red flip flop!!! The caregiver corraled him and took him back in, but I'm sure that's one of those things that will bring a smile to the team members when someone asks them about Mo Mo!

Meeting the babies!

When the New Life team first arrived at the baby center we walked around the corner and several of the kids were lined up at the fence wanting to be held. I had warned the group that I wanted to take a tour of the baby center BEFORE we played with the kids. The last several trips we didn't do that and sometimes never got around to taking a tour. When the kids saw us and our team saw them; it was all over! Maybe next trip we can take the tour when we first arrive!
