One of our roles at Yesu Anaweza is to visit and encourage church members. On Sunday afternoon, we visited Mama Teddy who lives behind the church. Alan and Shannon have known this family since Teddy was small and wanted to send their greetings and prayers. So we visited on their behalf. Like so many others, she is struggling to provide for her four children. They live in a tiny house. It might be 12x12 feet. Her kids Teddy, Jennifer, Neema and Baraka are adorable. Neema has a voice like a chipmunk and I just want to carry her around in my pocket all day. We had a chance to talk with Mama Teddy and encourage her. We encouraged her to keep coming to church and find strength in the Lord. Teddy has tonsillitis so we prayed for her and her family before we left.
Here is Baraka and Eli. Baraka is 11 months older than Eli, but I think our little porker outweighs him! Eli is a giant 5 month old!
You may remember him from a previous post. When the Africa Harvest of Hope team came in July, we met Baraka for the first time. He would go to no one except his mom... and George!
