Priscilla

Please pray for Priscilla and her family. She’s my friend/sister-in-Christ, live-in nanny, house-help and so much more. Over the last year, her father endured a long period of illness and then passed away in July. please cover her with your prayers. Without Priscilla, I would not be able to leave home to continue my work. She is as precious to me as all the children. Below, both Priscilla and David are baby-sitting!

Karen's place!

Beth is doing well after her second surgery. There have been no signs of the growth recurring in her body. She is as active as the rest of her group (Praise God!).

The rest of our girls are all doing well. Our older girls continue to visit Karen and her kids every Wednesday where they have the time of their lives (eating snacks, playing games and coloring together)!

Early Child Development Training

On Saturday, August 23rd, we held our first training session on Early Child Development at Ashraya. Shirley Billage (a church member) trained our housemothers (and other interested parties) on the basic needs of children and how to meet them effectively.














We will host additional sessions as it is crucial that we not only meet the physical, but mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs of our children as well. I want our children to have a strong Biblically-based identity and be completely whole.

I just had to share the beautiful view we had ...
