Oh the Babies!!



It's so much fun to keep discovering pictures of our little friends!! And Mary Moore hasn't even come back yet!! Put August 16th on your calendar to hear Mary Moore speak at 10am Hopepointe Church. She gets back Monday the 10th at 2:30 pm. Please pray for travel mercies and that it won't hurt her heart too much to leave the babies..

More Malawi Stories part 5- Ruth

Is this one of the cutest babies you have ever seen? Her name is Ruth and I think in an earlier post there was a picture of her in a black and white cow print. First of all Ruth has alot of style as you can see in her choice of clothes!! Mary Moore shared a little insight into this baby girl: ruth, i dont know her exact story...but she was so malnourished when she got to the nursery that her hips and legs are like jelly, she can't use them....they do phys therapy on her everyday. she is 8 months old and looks like a newborn.
So... continue to pray for all these children. I feel so blessed to have a bird's eye view into their little lives and so proud of the children at HopePointe church for bringing in their pennies to help these precious ones.

More Malawi Stories part 4 -Chisomo Joseph

This is a photo of my new friend Katie who has shared with me many of the photos from Malawi. She is holding a precious boy named Chisomo Joseph. Mary Moore shared with me a story about him.... there is the story i told you about chisomo joseph.....how his mom died during childbirth, his father and uncles blamed joseph for it, and were going to bury him alive in the coffin...and his aunt found out and escaped with him in the middle of the night to the crisis nursery. he's been there ever since. he just turned 1.

This was definitely one of the stories I could not share with the children at Vacation Bible School, but I wanted to let you know. The Crisis Nursery tries to place these children back in their villages after they can eat porridge (6 months) if they are well babies, to be cared for by someone in their village or by a family member. This little on can never return to his village. Please pray for a safe home for him. Thanks.

Porridge and Fiyfi





In the previous post I was talking about porridge and guess what? I found someone who had been at the crisis nursery in Malawi and was feeding a baby porridge!!

Also in the same group of photos was a picture of Fiyfi...the little one and a half year old twin that started walking last week! Actually Fiyfi is also the baby eating porridge!!

There is also a picture of Mary Moore singing in the church choir!!

Stories from Malawi, Africa

The funds raised by the VBS (vacation Bible School) children are being used to buy porridge, clothes and books for the babies of the Ministry of Hope Crisis nursery. This summer our very own Mary Moore Lowenfield has had and still is having the most amazing experience of working in that very nursery. She received a grant from Davidson College (her school) to work and live in Malawi for the summer months. This is baby Ruth.uth, i dont know her exact story...but she was so malnourished when she got to the nursery that her hips and legs are like jelly, she can't use them....they do physical therapy on her everyday. she is 8 months old and looks like a newborn.
