Two Babies In Two Days

Tom and Eddie started off the day building the roof for the car port. They finished that today.  It was a beautiful day outside and the kids did not have school, so most of the day was spent just playing outdoors with them--riding 4 wheelers, kicking around the soccer ball, and painting fingernails.  

Martha got the chance to have coffee with Patty, the woman who runs the sewing shop at Morning Star.  Patty wanted us to pray that she can get the school contract to sew uniforms as that would bring much more profit to the ladies at Morning Star.

This afternoon, Brian and Lois went to pick up a 2nd baby from Reahola church.  It is a 3 month old girl, Anna.  She has been staying with an aunt temporarily.  Her mom was a 14 year old girl that had been raped by her own father and was here illegally.  Neither her or her family would accept this baby girl.  Please pray that she will adjust well to The Pines and stay healthy.  

Today Brian and Lois also got a call relaying a message from Zekona's father.  He wanted to make sure the baby was safe.  Brian and a few others went back to where the baby was from to follow up.  He said he did not want the baby and the mother wanted what was best for the baby, but we were unable to get in touch with the mom.  Supposedly, she was released from the hospital today.  Hopefully we will get more answers soon.

    What would these sweet, innocent babies do without The Pines? You folks are so needed to help with all the work to be done there.
    My prayers are for you to have continued strength and to be available to show God's love to everyone in the community. Bless you! Val

    I am thankful you are all there. Christ is shining through each and everyone of you. What a blessing to have the opportunity to show a haven of hope to those two babies and their families. I pray that God will shower The Pines withmore blessings.
    Psalm 103:13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
