We are Building a Playground in Africa ? We are THAT Family

Do you want to know what the best thing about starting a maternity home in Kenya is?

First

Birthday

Parties!

Not only do we get to see young girls transform from scared, lonely, hopeless girls burdened with the world and child, we get to help them become mothers and watch them fall in love with their babies who were sometimes products of their abuse and usually unwanted.

We now have eight babies?six babies over 1 year old and two 10 month olds. (This past weekend we brought in new girls?more on that later, but please pray for this difficult transition for all involved).

Our adorable babies are healthy, beautiful and very mobile.

Because we have so many living in our home, space is often a challenge, as is keeping areas toddler-proof. Maybe it sound familiar? The weather in our area of Kenya is beautiful most months of the year and we?ve been dreaming of a playground for our babies to roam freely and safely, with a gated area to keep them from wandering off.

My sweet, pregnant friend, Stephanie (co-founder of (in)courage) is celebrating her miracle baby by throwing a baby shower over at incourage today with the help of Pure Charity!?And Mercy House gets the gifts! You can be a part of building a playground for our babies and toddlers at Mercy House Kenya! You can learn more here.

I am leaving later this week for Kenya. I can?t wait to blog from our maternity home and share all that God is doing with your help!
