Silas has a family!

We received the happy news that Silas recently went home with his new family! His energy and amazing smile will be missed! We wish Silas and his new family all the best as they begin a new chapter in their lives! The pictures above were taken by Jamie when he visited Kenya in January.

Silas - March 2009

These photos of Silas were taken by Dana Jacobs when she was in Kenya with the March NMC work team. Silas continues to be full of energy and will be a force to be reckoned with when he gets older! Please pray that the right parents come to adopt him and that they will raise him to become a strong man of God!

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.

Silas - September 2007

Silas came to the baby center in March of 2007. But this is the first time anyone from NMC had met him. Jamie took this picture when he was in Kenya in September 2007. Little did we know at that time how he would develop into a toddler with a mischevious smile and an ornery streak!
