AND THEN THERE WAS SARAH….

Early one morning last week a woman walked down a path through a green rice field.  Imagine her shock and amazement when she saw, lying beside the path a tiny baby.  Looking around she saw no-one.  Nobody knew who had left the baby there.  Imagine the stab in her heart when she picked up that baby and saw that her left arm was just inches long and had no hand at all and the short right arm had only an index finger.  She saw that this little one also had club feet.

The kind woman took the baby home and fed her and cared for her for three days.  Then she brought this adorable child to a place where she knew people would care for her with love.  She brought her to Jesus’ place, Place of Rescue.

Everyone, especially her care-giver already loves her and cares for her tenderly.  She seems to be about two months old.  It appears that her mother must have loved her because she is chubby and looks well cared for.  It must have broken the mother’s heart to leave her after nursing her for two months.  She obviously loved her otherwise she would have thrown her away where she could not be found.

We have named her Sarah, which means Princess.

Yesterday she was taken to the children’s hospital to get her immunization shots.  It appears that she does not have a problem with her heart.

And so we pray and hope you will join us -

• My heart’s desire is that someone in Calgary would be called by God to adopt this child.  We already know one family, The Seehawer’s in Calgary who have a little 6 yr. old boy, Sammy, with the same problems.
• May Sarah be greatly loved all the days of her life.
• May she learn to cope with her problems.
• May she remain healthy.
• May her birth mother be comforted and may she come to know Jesus.
• May the Lord send us many more children who need to be cared for here.
• May He call many to pray for us and support us.
