Baby Life Rescue Centre Trust Mombasa

I just got another newsletter from my friends, Peter and Selpher Mutua. I first met them years ago when I did a Discipleship Training School with Youth with a Mission in Mombasa, Kenya. Peter and Selpher were two of the leaders--I learned much from them, and was honored to be at their wedding. These two dear Kenyan Christians now head up the Baby Life Rescue Centre Trust Mombasa. Child abandonment and neglect is a huge problem in Kenya. Peter and Selpher are sent children who have been abandoned in hospitals, by roadsides, in garbage heaps, or even down deep mud latrines. They give the children proper medical care, as well as the physical, emotional and spiritual nurturing they need to thrive. The goal is to facilitate the adoption of these children by age 3 if possible. I encourage you to take a look at the website and see what amazing work is being done. I know they can use all the prayers and financial support they can get, and I bet they would welcome volunteers!

This is a great article. It’s great to see people trying to help children in need. It’s always such a shame to see abandoned children trying to stay alive as much as they can. It’s really heart-breaking.
