Malachi's Laughter - December 2007

Matthew - December 2007

Matthew is now about 3 months old. He is still a pudgy cheeked little guy! Matthew was very serious but he cooperated really well when we made him model the onesies the Jesus Freaks group at church made for the Kenyan babies. Please continue to pray for Matthew that he will find a family of his own. And more importantly that he will come to know Jesus as his personal savior and grow up to be a man of God.

Simon - December 2007

Simon was about 10 months old when the NMC work team came to Kenya in December 2007. Simon always looks like he is thinking and studying everything around him. He will probably grow up to be a scientist or professor!

Silas - December 2007

Baby Silas was around 10 months old when the NMC work team came to Kenya in December 2007. He was so cute and quite serious! Silas did laugh a lot when we played the game "don't let the shoe fall off your head"! Although you can't tell it in the top picture! And we got a smile when he received a kiss from Brittany! This trip made us really realize how incredibly vulnerable each little one is. As we cared for the babies in the safety of the baby center walls, outside of those walls Kenya had erupted into a chaotic and sometimes violent country. We prayed that the trouble caused by the presidential election would soon pass and that none of these precious children would have to feel the effect of what was going on around them! We also prayed for the safety of all of the caregivers and construction workers as they traveled to and from the baby center and while they were in their homes.

Peter - December 2007

Peter was still a shy little guy when the NMC work team visited the baby center in December 2007. Although he slowly warmed up to many team members. In the top picture he was being held by Monica Lengacher. In the picture with the yellow shirt he was eating dirt! Boys will be boys! Peter is now a little over 1 year old.
