Kijabe and Back and Then to Mali

After venturing to Kijabe, Kenya, East Africa with my husband in 2006, I embarked on an even greater adventure in 2007. I took two mission trips to a remote village in Mali, West Africa in both July and September with some women from church. Here's a bit of my story.

Let the Little Children Come


Yesterday I went down to Nairobi with a group from Kijabe station to visit an orphanage. The sole ministry of this orphanage is to take in abandoned babies and nurture them back to health, providing them with a clean, safe, extremely loving home.



It's an amazing home for these little ones. With a capacity of 53 babies, the home is full almost all the time. They have their own in-house medical unit, with 24-hour nursing staff in residence, and on-call doctors who volunteer their time.

After taking a tour of the home, we spent the rest of the time just holding the babies. Volunteers come in every day of the week and do just that -- hold the babies.



I was impressed with the high level of cleanliness, but mostly, the amount of love and care and nurturing that's given to these little ones.

New Life Home is truly an amazing work. Please pray for wisdom and grace for the staff of New Life.

"Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 19:14).
