New Day is Full!

We are SOOO excited to announce that for the time being, New Day is FULL! We built our first house, the Luyando house for 8 orphans - 4 girls and 4 boys, and we are full! Here are the stories of the last 3 girls:

Axer and Kelitah:
These sisters are ages 3 and 5 lost their mother one month ago. Their father is still alive somewhere, but he has another wife and had no relationship with these children. The family could not find him, but his mother said he was not interested in the children and released them to New Day. Please pray for Axer, our youngest orphan, as she is having trouble adjusting (very aggressive behavior - needs LOTS of love and discipline!)




Cynthia:
Cynthia is six years old and her grandmother brought her to New Day last week. Her mother died in 2010, and her father died a few years ago, although the grandmother told us that the mother got pregnant after a "night at a bar" and wasn't really sure who the father was. The grandmother lives in a tiny house and crushes stones for a living to provide for Cynthia and her older brother. Cynthia became the final girl to fill up our Luyando House!

Blu and Darbi,
How exciting to have your little house filled with little children. My name is Kathy Hutton,from Christ Community Church and we sent some blankets for the children and have not checked in for some time. God bless you all. It is so exciting to see all the growth, baptisms, children, the buildings, the sewing groups, womens bible study and beautiful faces on the blog.
