New Kids Arrived

My heart has been full of hope to the point of tears during the process of researching and reviewing the applications since November 2023 for children to come this year. Some of the children have been on our list for years. In January we started visiting the children where they lived to see for ourselves the situations they were coming from.

What are their biggest needs? Who has the biggest need? What needs are we able to meet?

It is not easy for me to travel to these places when I am limited by the use of vehicles (we are in the process of ordering a new truck). I have also been working with our contractor and dealing with the daily challenges of the children. I am so grateful though that God is with me and protecting all my time for what I need to do.

Our new children began arriving in March, continued in April and finished in May. We are so happy to welcome two girls and eight boys to our GROW home. For these ten kids, it is the first time they have a bed, their own pillow and their own blankets. This is one of the many new experiences for them.

Making the final decisions on who can become part of our GROW family is not easy. Because we have both prayers and purpose for this ministry, we ask God to open the right doors for the right children. We really want the children nobody else wants and who have no other place to go. In this world today, there are those who are also looking for such children but for sinister and selfish motives. We must do all we can to prevent them from taking these precious children.
