Mrs. Jennie

Jennie Valentine was 90 years old and was a TINY woman with a huge heart. Her heart was especially big for New Day Orphanage. She prayed for us and the children here every day, especially for sweet Axer who she faithfully sponsored. Last year, the playground at New Day was built in Jennie's honor and was named Jennie's Play Station.
Jennie's dream was to travel to Zambia to meet Axer and to see New Day for herself. Physically, there was no way she could do this, but her son, who we all know as Johnny Boy, has made 4 trips, and others in her family plan to come in the future.
New Day was blessed to have the support and faithful prayers of someone like Jennie, who went to be with Jesus yesterday. She even requested in her last days that memorials be given to the orphanage upon her death. I pray that one day, I will be 90 years old and still passionate for seeing children come to know Christ, just as Jennie was.
We were blessed to be able to attend her 90th birthday party last August!
