<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">5 years ago David and Sarah Koech, directors of Kenduiwa Children’s home asked me to pray about building a school at the Children’s Home. At that time our thoughts were to build a school that could educate K-8……well that seemed a little daunting to us. As time went on and we continued to see the suffering of the local children in the surrounding area we prayed that we could do something to assist not only the small children at Kenduiwa but also the little ones in the neighborhood. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Please pray for these young children. Our mission goal for the school is to have the children know the love of Jesus, know that He watches over them at all times. We are grateful that the children can come "as is" no uniforms or shoes are required at this school. If you know me and talked to me about school uniforms then you know it is one of my frustrations about living here. So I won't go into my tirade about it now. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We are also giving the children morning chai, and a nutritious lunch. Most of the neighborhood children wander around seeking food while their mothers are away picking tea or fetching firewood two hours walk away from their home. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> We have asked that the parents not pay any school fees, but bring what produce they can to assist us in making meals for the kids. We have emphasized to them that if they don't have they do not have to bring. We just want the kids to be fed at least one good meal a day. </span><br />

To some of our family that is a foreign name! To some it means food! To others it means we are away from "home." While we all are not the same we are grateful that God has made us a family. I want to aopolgize now for not being "on top" of things to inform everyone that we were on our way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a bit overwhelmed with trying to pack and prepare for 9 of us this time to head to "Merica" as my teens call it!!!! Over all the flights were good without anyone getting sick, which is my biggest worry! The little kids were very good and slept well when we wanted them to. Thank you to all who prayed us through this trip.<br />

It was difficult to say goodbye to our friends and family in Kenya. We knew we would be back in 5 short months. I wanted to share some of the highlights so far on our travels back to the states. Also some surprises as well. We were not in the country 24 hours when Hannah ran out on a bike path and was hit head on by a speeding biker. She was so sweet about the whole thing and said, " It wasn't his fault, I ran out in front of him." "I'm just glad it wasn't a car. " So were we! We are grateful to God that He protected Hannah from serious injury. She did chip her tooth and have a pretty swollen eye for a couple of weeks. </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">I see her picture on the mantel of the Baby Center. It gets tears in my eyes. I always want that to be a lie. That when I go in the room she will be there. That I will grab her and hug her. Then she will play with me and I can just be with her, but that's just a dream. I will never see her until I go home (Heaven). Sometimes I just want to go right now with her. I want to see her adorable, cute face just one more time.</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Aunt Carol asked me to pray. I started to, but then I began to cry. I thought to myself why? Why would I pray for Ruthie when God is not doing anything for her, but I said to God that I would do anything for her to get better. I even said that I would die for her. Everyday after the surgery I just prayed and cried. Ever moment of the day I was free I would go and visit her. My mom and Hannah switched places in the ICU day in and out, spending the night sleeping with their heads down at the foot of her bed. I was still in school so I had to go to class, but I was distracted. I didn't really pay attention to the teachers. All I ever wanted was to be with Ruth, and to be there when she woke up. When I was there in the ICU some nurses came up to me and said that she would be ok. I was like how could you say that. She is half dead, but then I heard God say " I love you Lydia I am watching over you and Ruthie." On that same day Agneta come over to Ruth's side. She prayed for her. She said something to me that just touched my heart. She said "God has a plan for her It is God's will if she wakes up, or if He takes her Home." I wanted her to wake up, but that was what I wanted; maybe God had a different plan. When I was laying in my bed about 12:00 midnight I thought to myself that God might be punishing me. It was me he was teaching me an example to. He was getting me ready for the future. My mom and dad and Hannah helped me through this heartbreak. If God wasn't there by my side I would have never got through this alone. He talked to me every step of the way.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Then I fell into a big canyon and was stuck with no way out. Ruthie started coding. My heart nearly fell to my feet. God helped me walk every step that very moment because I knew right then, God was taking her home. The nurses rushed over and tried to make her come back. Thankfully they got her to start to breath again and her heart starting beating again. Praise God, but I began stepping on sharp rocks and thorns in that canyon. I fell and stumbled every step of the way, but God picked me up. God was gentle when He spoke to me. He didn't say, "Lydia you are taking this too serious and you are worrying too much." Instead he softly said, "Lydia I'm here for you always just call on me and I will be there for you." </span><br />
<br style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';" /><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Later on, I sat at the table playing with my food. My dad was there and I asked him, "Dad, why does God take away the ones we love?" He paused for a while and said it is God's plan to give and take away. I still didn't believe that he should take ones we love and care about. That reminded me of a song " He Gives and Takes Away." It still didn't make sense. I hated death. It is terrible. I wanted to scream to God and yell at him for doing this to me and my family and everyone who knew Ruth, but then I stopped and prayed and asked to go and see Ruth. Hannah took me up. I held Ruthie's hand and cried. "WHY? WHY?" I said. God cannot do this. I love her. I felt like I was being ambushed with sharp knives and spears. I was going into a dark cave with scraps and tears rolling down my eyes. I asked God if this was a good idea to enter into the dark cave. He said "Trust Me" and so I did and I stepped into that cave. That changed my life.</span><br style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';" /><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> I was in class and Hannah came to get me for some reason. I went and Hannah said that they might take Ruth off the breathing machine that kept Ruthie alive. We went into the ICU hand in hand. And mom said it was time for her to go home, to heaven. I screamed and said NO! You can't take her away! I burst out in tears. I hugged my sweet, adorable, loving, little Ruthie. I wanted to stop Aunt Carol from doing it. Hannah took me outside the ICU with my dad and I cried the hardest I ever have in my whole life. I didn't feel God's love. I didn't feel like He loved me or Ruth. I was so angry and devastated. When we went home I ran to my room and slammed the door. I put my head in my pillow and cried and cried. I wanted to stay in my room for ever. My sweet mom came in and I hugged her tight. When my mom was hugging me I heard God say that he loves me and all the people of the world including Ruth. I said to God "Thank you God for relieving Ruthie of her illness and for helping me on the way." Ruth is safe in Heaven with You" I cried out. Even though I didn't want Ruth to go away I said "Yes Jesus I Love You"</span><br style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';" /><br style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';" /><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> I knew that this would change my whole life forever!!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06211582895973777236noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357328507760083816.post-33579213879950033712013-05-24T13:48:00.004-07:002013-05-24T13:58:21.634-07:00Toddlers and Teenagers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><i>Esther Gloria</i> is the youngest Bemm child. I have been blessed to witness her personality blossom in the past few months. For a long time we described her as a quiet, bump on the log. Although she still won't miss an opportunity to sit on someone's lap and snuggle, she is much more vocal and has turned into a complete goofball. She is always singing, she is ticklish all over and has the best belly laugh. She is the definition of Mommy's little helper; and unless she is in cahoots with her brother and sister she is very obedient and loves to make people smile. She is my saving grace between the three midgets always loving on you when you need it most, or disrupting the chaos with a funny comment. We gave her the nickname babushka, because she tends to show some grandma like qualities in the way she walks and talks and how she loves her sleep. Her goofiness comes out in very few words and lots of giggles and is very spontaneous; but her timing is always perfect. At nap time she is always the first one in bed, sometimes even skipping her lunch and going right to sleep. Esther is our accessory queen. When she is sitting on your lap she will play with your necklace and earrings, ask to braid your hair, and she always has to carry a purse. She loves wearing bracelets, shoes, and she loves to have her nails painted. She changes her shoes about 10 times a day and most of the shoes she wears are not hers and extremely big for her. This causes her to trip and fall multiple times throughout the day which brings about the need for a bandaid whether there is actually blood or not. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><i>Ellie</i> is the second youngest. Her real name is Elizabeth Mercy, but we call her Ellie (which is very fitting to the little person she is becoming.) Although she is older than Esther she is much smaller in size. When I think about words to describe Ellie the words spunky, feisty, energetic, mischievous, and smart come to my mind. She is a thinker and a quick learner, always picking up new concepts and ideas. Ellie is full of energy and spunk. She is constantly moving, running, dancing or flipping. When you go to tuck her into bed at night you almost always find her upside doing a headstand. She loves to climb, hang on my back and be flipped upside down. She is a complete monkey. Ellie has a high pitched giggle and is one of the best snugglers I know. She knows exactly how to get under her brother and sister's skin and when caught in the act has a fairly convincing innocent smile. She loves to sneak off to the Kelley's house and play with Baby Hannah's toys all by herself. Although, she loves her alone time she is quite the conversationalist. She just talks and talks and talks, then pauses to take a breath, and then talks some more. When Ellie talks, if it weren't for her squeaky little voice one might assume that it is an adult talking and not a toddler. She has a very large vocabulary for her little three year old self. She also loves to sneak off and usually eat or drink something she is not supposed to. Just the other day we were all outside and Ellie went inside to go to the bathroom. After she was gone for longer than it should take for someone to use the bathroom I went inside to check on her. I found her under the dining room table with her hand in a huge tub of cheese balls and cheese all over her face and fingers. When I asked what she was doing she just smiled at me and took another bite. She is the cheese ball queen. I find that she is the hardest one to reprimand because she is just so cute, even when she cries. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><i>Shadrach</i>, or Shaddie as we call him, is the oldest of the midgets. I am forced to adjust to the way a toddler boy shows love as opposed to the girls. When Ellie or Esther want to show me that they love me they usually grab onto my leg or crawl on my lap. Although, Shaddie does this too sometimes, most of time he shows his love with a head butt or a punch in the leg around 7 in the morning. Behind the head butting he has a sweet, tender heart and is constantly looking out for his younger sisters. Shaddie is very protective of Esther and Ellie. He is very animated when he speaks and we are fairly convinced he will be a comedian when he gets older. It's not in just what he says, but also in how he says it and the delivery. He loves to play with trucks, motorcycles and trains just like any other 3 year old boy; but we also often catch him wearing his sister's bathing suits, dresses and asks to have his nails painted. We are convinced he needs another brother to toughen him up. For now, Levi Kelley (the youngest Kelley boy) is assigned to that job. He is very particular and detail oriented. If something is not the way he likes it he voices his opinion, usually pretty loudly and multiple times. He smiles at you and tells you he loves you at just the right moment. </span><br />

Hannah is very independent and adventurous; and sometimes these qualities get her into a little bit of trouble. Such as climbing up too high in a tree and getting stuck. Like Ellie, she is full of energy and always on the move. She was a pretty chubby baby but has long since outgrown that. She is now skin and bones and has an impeccable speed for a six year old, which is a given because she's Kenyan. She has a very compassionate heart. If she sees that someone is upset she immediately feels their pain and tries to comfort them. She doesn't like it when people are sad and certainly hates to see people upset. Not only does she sympathize with people in pain, but also in joy. She has a contagious laugh that echoes throughout the house and even the compound. She loves to share with everyone. Anytime someone gives something to her or shares with her, she turns right around and shares with someone else. She has a sweet tooth just like her mommy; which is evident by the crumbs and wrappers you often find in her bed. She is outgoing and quick to make friends. It seems to me like she is friends with everyone in the neighborhood. Hannah has a knack for art and math and tends to combine the two. She is very gifted artistically and creative. In the mornings, when mostly everyone is asleep she can be found in the basement do some craft or another. When she does her schoolwork you tend to find more drawings on her paper than answers to math problems. Being six years old and given her personality she is distracted very easily.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><i>Lydia Joy</i> is 12 going on 20. I promise you, she looks older and grows more everyday. She is loud and feisty and loves to cuddle with her younger siblings as well as agitate them. When we were at the beach a month or so ago, I watched her splash and jump through the waves as she galloped along the shoreline. I remember being envious at her ability to be so playful and so in love with life. Lydia is not afraid to be her own person and speak her mind. She has a great imagination and doesn't necessarily like to read, but loves to be read to. She is outgoing, loves to laugh and makes friends easily. She has a caring heart for babies, children and children with special needs. Although she seems feisty at times, she has a way of comforting you and making you feel loved when you need it the most. She loves to care for people and animals and knows exactly what kind of little actions or things to say that can turn your day upright. As she continues to grow, it has been amazing to watch her discover who she is as a daughter of the King. It has also been a blessing to watch her relationship with her older sister, Abby, grow. In the past year or so they have gotten closer to each other. Lydia admires her older sister and it is beautiful to witness them grow together. Along with Hannah and her mom, she has a sweet tooth;and you can tell by the large bags of candy and Cheetohs she has stashed away in her closet. She won't admit to you that she likes school, but you can tell that she does by how hard she tries to do her best in everything. She is strong-willed and determined in everything she sets her mind to. When I watch her ripstick up and down the hallway or make a funny music video, it makes me miss being 12 years old and care free. I pray everyday that as she discovers who she is in Christ and continues to grow that she will never lose her sense of adventure and she would fall even more deeply in love with life and with Jesus. Over the past couple months she has dealt with some very painful deaths. She taught me to find the joy in pain. She showed me that it was okay to cry, but it was also okay to be joyful even in suffering. I witnessed God stretch her and shape her heart as she relied on God for strength instead of herself.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><i>David</i> is second from the top. As a 14 year old freshman in boarding school for the first time he is just trying to figure out who he is and where this life is taking him. He is strong and tough on the outside, but behind the tough guy he has a sensitive heart and he is very protective of all his sisters. He plays, lives and breathes rugby. This is his first time on an official team, but he has been waiting for these practices and games for what seems like forever. He is determined to do his best. His leadership abilities really shine on the field as he encourages and guides his teammates. He shows you he loves you by teasing you until he drives you crazy. We always thought he was shy, but his friends tell us a different story. After he made the adjustment at RVA his personality really shined through and he is friends with almost everyone. We are convinced that he grows in his sleep. Every time we see him I think he is at least an inch or two taller. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><i>Abigail Faith</i> is going to be 16 years old by the end of June. She continues to ask if she can get her drivers permit when we return to the states. We are very hesitant because we are fairly positive she would lose her head if it wasn't attached to her body. She is also a freshman at Rift Valley Academy. After she made the adjustment to boarding school life she also flourished and made friends very easily. She is bubbly and friendly with everyone no matter who they are. She is one to observe your heart before she observes your outfit or your make-up. She played on the JV basketball team earlier in the year and is currently a member of the JV volleyball team. She loves sports and she is motivated in athletics as well as academics. She said to me one day, "I might like to be a neurosurgeon..." we are still talking that one over with her. Not sure she is quite coordinated enough for the job. Hopefully she will end up in the research field of neurology. She is a night owl and loves to take naps. She loves playing banana grams with her mom and big Hannah. Just like her mom she has a great sense of humor. One may often refer to her as an airhead or a goober, but she embraces it beautifully and never refuses to laugh at herself. She is so in love with Jesus and you can tell by the way she cares for other people and loves them regardless of their faults. She strives for a deeper intimate relationship with Jesus and is His voice to many of her friends at school. Although we miss both her and David dearly while they are away at school we absolute love watching them grow and transform into the people God has created them to be.</span><br />

most difficult months we have ever experienced. As most of you have
read in our last blog, our dear Ruthie from the baby center in Nakuru went to
be with the Lord on March 7th. As I sat by her bedside in continuous
prayer I held her little hand and just kept thinking that she was alone...but I
know she wasn't' alone. God was holding her the whole time. I cried
so many times when I thought about how she did not have an earthly family,
but I knew she had a Heavenly Father who loved her more than we ever
could. </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt;">To back up a little, I received
a call from the director of the baby center that Ruthie was vomiting coffee
grounds; to us medical people this was not a good sign. We
immediately told them to bring her in. When she arrived she was
smiling at me and doing do well with all the exams. As I held her in
the emergency room for hours, we sang and I told funny stories (OK it was
mostly to amuse myself since she was only 1.) As the day progressed I started
to get impatient, I called the surgeon and my husband and asked them to come
and examine her again. We moved to the surgical waiting area and I
saw her eyes change...she wasn't responding to me anymore. She
was dying in my arms. I love my husband and the work that he does. He
immediately whisked her from my arms and ran into the surgical suite and
started resuscitating her with the help of a surgeon and the
anesthetist. I paced around the surgical table praying and assisting
wherever hands were needed. After what seemed like forever she finally got her
heart rate back. I stayed with her throughout the surgery and
watched our surgeons do wonderful work. Ruthie never woke up from
that point on. We prayed and prayed for her to recover. I
learned once again that it is not up to me. God is in control all the time and
not just some of the time. </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">Little did I know that God
would teach me this again just a week later in Little Princess Hannah Kelley's
death on March 14, 2013. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt;">We received a call at around
3am from one of our neighbors that their one year old, Hannah, had stopped
breathing. She had been sick for a couple weeks, but it wasn't anything that
seemed too serious. My heart stopped as I watched Chuck get dressed as fast as
he could and run over to their house. They only live a 10 second walk away from
our front door to theirs. As I stood on our front porch watching chuck run
over, I prayed. I heard their door
shut, and then about a minute later I heard the door open again, my heart leapt
for joy as I thought, "Oh good chuck is on his way back and Hannah is
fine." Then the image I have
had a hard time getting out of my nightmares is hearing Chuck counting, then
watching Hannah's daddy, Aaron, carrying Hannah up the sidewalk in a little
blanket and then stopping in front of our house for Chuck to give her a breath.
Then they started running again up the sidewalk. Watching that scene made
my heart so heavy. I cannot begin to describe how the next 24 hours
transpired. Please refer to the Kelley’s blog to hear how these parents
are my heroes.</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

There are always so many things that are heavy on my heart. It is difficult at times to put it all into a BLOG or words. Just know that everyday we feel your prayers for our orphaned children here in Kenya. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: white;">Thank you all for praying and giving to our severe food issue. We have now planted cassava, sweet potatoes, and sorghum. In place of maize, due to the fungus that will last for about 3 years in the ground. Please continue to pray for our orphans as they are still very low on food for everyday needs. We are praying that the cassava will be enjoyed by the children. They have never eaten it before and it is harder to cook than maize. At this I say Ughhhhhhh... when you have 300 hungry children you wonder what the right thing to do is???? Yes the easy answer is FEED THEM. That is much easier said or written than done. We all know that it takes, prayer, patience, and the right amount of resources to do what is needed. We have spent much time in prayer asking the Lord for answers in how to care for these special children. </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: white;">These two special people are miracles from God! Mom "M" is now 15 and has been an orphan since the age of 7. Baby "T" is her third child. When her sister called me and said she was in labor, I was worried she had already had two cesarean sections and I was concerned there was a problem. As did the attending OB/GYN on call that night. Abby and I were able to throw on scrubs and quickly attend the emergency cesarean. When the doctor made the first incision baby "T's" arm was already out of the uterus. Her uterus was ruptured and usually here when that occurs, the baby usually dies before birth. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: white;">The mother is also in grave danger. We are just praising the Lord for His miracle in their lives. Mom "M" is also aware that God spared her for a reason. Would you pray with us that "M" would accept Jesus as her Saviour. Her faith has been very weak. Would you also pray with us that we could find "M" and her two children a home with a small garden that she would be able to support herself. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="color: white;"> Unfortunately "M" has never known stability in her life. She was raped by a neighbor and beaten repeatedly during her first and second pregnancy. We placed her in a different home during the third pregnancy to avoid the beatings. Thankfully we convinced her that "the man" who she thought loved her was no good for her. He is now in jail for attacking his father with a panga. </span></div>

<span class="s1" style="color: white;">We know many young orphans that feel LOVE from men, and end up pregnant and no place to live or no food to eat.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> There has been a fungus that has destroyed nearly all the crops in our area. That has hurt our orphans food supply greatly. I am sending this blog to ask for your prayers and support for food. The government won't give out free food until many people start to die from starvation......As crazy as that sounds it is a fact. We have had many requests at our door for food in the last month. We are currently working with the Church to assist people in need. Unfortunately the Church has very little financial reserves to assist all that are in need. <br />Please Pray that we would have wisdom and discernment in distributing food.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUM9ilg7waxdj_j5JUKY_KUlYOkzhohipfXx3M-rOR8yroNS0EJXm_8wiYtnNh4yXyb4ULDMVMpB4g6j2z4AJY9HDIHcgohshnPkfEOZAtuerrN3qCvIGXpGqzOCwiC2u-9aQgnFH5NrA7/s1600/P1070844.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUM9ilg7waxdj_j5JUKY_KUlYOkzhohipfXx3M-rOR8yroNS0EJXm_8wiYtnNh4yXyb4ULDMVMpB4g6j2z4AJY9HDIHcgohshnPkfEOZAtuerrN3qCvIGXpGqzOCwiC2u-9aQgnFH5NrA7/s320/P1070844.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a><br /><br /><br /></span><br />

</tbody></table>We are grateful for those who have the orphans around Tenwek Hospital on their hearts. We have been praying about purchasing each of the four homes a sewing machine for clothing repair. Thanks to a donor, we purchased the first foot operated sewing machine. This is a blessing for the children and matrons of the orphanage Umoja. This will save us the cost of always having to take the children's clothing to a tailor to be repaired or purchase a new outfit for school. <div><br />
</div><div>As you can see by the picture below, the children's clothing is in need of some repairs. We have a ministry here at Tenwek Hospital which teaches women how to sew. That ministry is sharing their skills with the matron at Umoja Children's Home. The matron will learn how to do simple repairs and eventually make the school uniforms for the children. <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</tbody></table>We are still in need of 3 more sewing machines and tables for the other orphanages. If you would like to donate for us to purchase them we know that the homes would be so blessed and grateful. <br />
It is only $300 for each home to have one. You can donate to the Orphan Project Account and all the donation goes to the purchase of the items.<br />

We praise God that a good samaritan was suspicious of the mother's actions and knocked down the walls of the building (they were wooden), and dove into the latrine to save this precious baby. We are grateful that the baby has no residual health issues from his sad beginning. We are currently working with the local police and court system for the fate of the parents. We know that Jesus is the ultimate protector and we praise HIM for this sweet boy.<br />

</tbody></table>This desperate mother (F) came to Tenwek Hospital wanting to sell her baby girl. After much discussion with this weeping mother we found out that she was being abused by her father and brother, both alcoholics. She needed money to find a safe home. <br />
We also found from the mother that she believes she is cursed by her dead ancestors. This is a very real problem in the Kipsigis culture. We have known many people who have taken their own lives because they feel haunted by these spirits. We would ask that you <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">please pray </span>for this young lady that she would know the love of Christ fully in her life. She is currently being held at the local police station until her court date. We plan to follow up with her at the hospital with counseling as soon as the court decides how to proceed.<br />

</tbody></table>Baby M, was born at Tenwek Hospital to a young mother. The family had planned since the fifth month of pregnancy to give this baby up for adoption. Baby M stayed with our family a little over a week and she was a joy to all our hearts. Please pray that a wonderful family who loves the Lord will adopt her into their home. She is now at a safe baby home where she is doing great. <div><br />
</div><div>We are so grateful to all of you that are praying and supporting our family here in Kenya as we journey to be the Hands and Feet of Christ as HE asks us to be. </div><div><br />

I wanted to give an update on all the children that we have had in our home recently. They were certainly a blessing to all of us and we miss them. Little C on the right is now staying with a good Kenyan family. She is well taken care of and is now gaining some weight and talking more. Our little Ellie and she are about the same age and played well together. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
C's mother is only 14 years old and has had a rough last few weeks. After she willingly gave up her two children, she went back to the home where she was raped. The father of the children threatened her to give him the money she earned from the sale of the children. He thought she sold the children to the "white people". He just recently was released from jail for beating up his own parents. Two weeks after his release he attacked his father again with a panga (machete) to the face! He is back in jail again. We have offered to assist the mother with training in sewing. She has refused any help from us. Please pray that she would seek the Lord with all her heart. That she would accept assistance for her future. <br />

Baby K and Chep both went to separate children's homes about three hours away from Tenwek. Lydia and Claire took good care of K while he was in our home and they sure miss him. He is thriving and growing. We pray that he is placed in a loving family soon. <br />
Chep has had a difficult time adjusting to living in a children's home. She continues to ask for her mother. Just today her mother came to our home again. When I asked her what she needed, she responded by telling me that she was ready to sign the final papers to give her child away. I could not help but tear up that someone would so easily give their child up. Please pray for this mother that she would know the Love of Christ. This was difficult since Chep is about the same age as our Hannah. I can't imagine what this little girl is thinking after four years with her mother, and now she is no longer with her but in a home with many other children. I pray that Chep would be adopted into a family soon. <br />

</tbody></table>
Little P was abandoned in a near by town. The police brought him to Tenwek during the night. We often wonder what goes through a mother's mind and heart when they just leave their babies. This mother wrapped P in all the clothes he had and even packed a little bag for him with a few more blankets. She then left him by a church. Often these mothers are going through abuse from the father or even their own family, forcing them to give up their child. Little P was abandoned a day before the schools opened so we also thought this was a young mother wanting to return to school and not knowing how to care for her child and attend school at the same time. We were blessed to have him in our home for a few days before he was admitted into a children's home. Pray that little P would be adopted soon by a loving family.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please continue to pray for these children and all the children that we are not even made aware of that are abandoned each day due to dire circumstances.<br /><div>

Well were WERE a family of 6 now we are a family of 9! Please pray with us as we go through all the adoption proceedings for Shadrach, Elizabeth, and Esther. We know that the Lord has placed them in our family at just the right time. While our house is a little crazy and loud we are enjoying every minute of it.<br />
<br />
We can't believe that we have been back in Kenya now for almost 2 years! Our children are so happy that they don't need to wear shoes anywhere! That includes Lydia forgetting to put her shoes on to go to the village! I guess she just fit right in!<br />
To catch everyone up on our children:<br />
Abby<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">, </span>now 14 and in 8th grade, still loves to read, her favorite hobby is to climb trees, very high trees. She and her friend Joel stop talking when I Amy walk by. They don't know that I hear them shushhhhing each other! They don't want me to see how high they actually are. <br />

</div>Lydia<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">, </span>now 11 has more energy than a gazelle! She just recently had her tonsils and adnoids removed. When the Doctor prayed with her before surgery he asked that she have more energy after the surgery! Chuck and I both simultaneously said "please be careful of what you pray for!" Lydia is our prayer warrior she always remembers the sick kids that Chuck is working with in the hospital. She prays for and frequently gives her things to those who have a need. We look forward to see what God has planned for her. <br />
<br />
Hannah, now 4 is a gazelle! We her parents are trying to figure out some track program for her. She is such a delight to have around. We frequently can't find her, she is outside playing with friends and getting into mud or picking loquats and eating them. We often find treasures in her pockets from outside. She is starting Kindergarten this year and is so excited about it. She has funny quotes that we all laugh at, such as when Amy had to attend a AGC Baby Center meeting, she said to our friend, " see, I told you we were getting two more babies!" this of course is after we already had the three in our home. She thinks now every time we go to the Baby Center we are picking up more sisters and brothers for her. <br />

Shadrach<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">,</span> almost 2 is a busy boy around the house. We don't know his exact birthdate so we asked David to choose a date in late September! He chose September 20th. Shadrach came to us as a toddler who had been at the baby center for about a year. We are not sure of his exact history before he was admitted to the baby center other than he was neglected by his caregiver and had rickets when he arrived. He is mommy's little helper, he brings me my shoes, and makes sure that we turn the lights out when we leave the room. He makes us laugh when he tries to explain something to us in his jibberish language. We are working on his speech which is delayed but coming up quickly. <br />

She was abandoned somewhere between 3 and 6 weeks old so we guessed at her age! When we first met Ellie at the baby center she was a quiet child. We can't say that now! We figure she will be the leader of their gang of 3 and make sure that after they get in trouble she is not held responsible! We are constantly laughing at her facial expressions and funny antics.

She arrived at the AGC Baby Center day 2 of life, after being found by some school students on their walk to school. Her birthday is June 21st. She is now learning to walk and trying to talk some. She has the nickname Anne of Green Gables since she cries like she is "in the depths of despair" Everyone loves her fluffy black hair and often it gets pulled by her sister and brother!! We are all waiting for her to finally get back at them for picking on her! Lydia has taught her to do the chicken dance of all things. It is funny to watch her wiggle when Lydia sings!<br />

<div><br />
Thank you all for praying for these mothers and their children. We met with both mother's and the authorities on Thursday...which was a very long meeting. Please continue to pray for them as they need to know how much Jesus cares for them. The mother on the right signed papers to give up her four year old for adoption. As many times as we offered her other options. A house, a job, land.....she denied all of them and continued to state that she did not want her child. My heart was torn apart when she walked away from my house leaving her four year old daughter behind.<br />
The mother on the left, who came with her Uncle and older sister to discuss the future of herself and her children. After many difficult discussions and choices, the Uncle wanted to go home and consult with the rest of the family (this is typical Kipsigis culture) about giving the children up for adoption. So the Bemm family is still a family of 11 and we will wait the decision of the mother and family. We are seeing that C the twenty month old is fitting in nicely with all of our other toddlers. The baby now two weeks old, is being spoiled by all of our older children. Thank you so much for all your prayers.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06211582895973777236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357328507760083816.post-5799647572509033802011-08-19T01:46:00.000-07:002011-08-19T01:46:51.792-07:00Harvesting Maize!!<br />
Chuck and I have been praying for years that the orphanages that we work with would be able to plant their own crops and have food to harvest. Well our prayers were answered last year when we were able to lease 13 Acres of land to divide between Umoja Children's Home, Kenduiwa Children's Home, and Bosto Children's Home. When weighing the cost of continuing to purchase maize for each home and planting our own it was hands down cheaper that we plant our own. While the drought and the hail storm did not help the crop any we were able to harvest more than 50 bags of maize.<br />
I, Amy enjoyed the physical work and staying there all day working beside good Kenyan friends and other missionaries who volunteered to help. <br />

</tbody></table>The women thought it was funny that I wanted to help carry the maize. They gave me only a small bag!!! When one from the States thinks of harvesting maize they think....tractors....well here we think hands. The corn is not in pretty little rows and the ground is not flat. In fact the hardest part was walking around and trying not to fall into a hole or trip and fall on your face. We were grateful for the amount of children from Umoja and Kenduiwo Children's Homes who came and helped to harvest. <br />

As I looked over the corn, I could not help but think. Which one am I like?? The full piece of corn, giving my all to the Lord in every circumstance? Or am I like the one with very little fruit on it? I pray that in every situation, everyday that I would be giving my all to the Lord, and not like the scrawny little one, not showing the fruit of the Lord. Please help us to pray for every situation that we are in that we would represent Christ to those around us. Especially pray for those who are needy that appear at our door daily. We can often become frustrated with their situations. Pray that we would show them love and compassion. <br />
<br />
Pray also for the next crop of BEANS that it would produce an abundance of food for the orphans.<br />

We have had a difficult weekend emotionally at the Bemm home. On Saturday we had a fourteen year old mother drop off her two children K(5 days old), and C(20 months old). She does not feel she can care for them any longer. We are working with the authorities to ensure a safe place for the to go. Then on Monday we brought another newborn baby home from the nursery, his mother abandoned him while they were in the maternity ward. We are thankful for another missionary family that offered to care for him. Then if that was not enough emotionally. Monday morning we had a nineteen year old girl come to our house. She wants to give up her four year old daughter for adoption. Although we are grateful that we can be a safe home for these children we are deeply saddened by these events. We are grateful for a loving God who has watched over these children thus far. Please pray for missionary partners in Nairobi who were waiting to care for another newborn girl. The baby was thrown into a pit latrine after being born. The baby went to be with Jesus just a few days after she arrived on this earth. Please pray with us for these young women who believe that they can no longer care for their young ones. Please pray that they would know how much our loving God cares for them, they are just children themselves. <br />
