Baby Clothes

We had a extra luggage allowance this time so asked the church members in Blurton to donate baby clothese for us to bring to give to Wakisa, a refuge for homeless pregnant teenagers. They take in girls who ahve been abused, raped and then thrown out by their families and who have nothing and they care for them and love them! When the babies are about 8 weeks old they try and rehome them or reunite them with the families - its an amazing place, Bex our younger daughter "discovered" it last year adn spent a month working with them. It has totally inspired the future direction for her. Well, the response from the church was an overwhelming outpouring of generosity in the shape of at least 5 suitcases full of baby clothes. Being the forward party for the group I brought the bigger clothes - for 1-2year olds and gave them to Gladys, Pastor Stevens wife. The joy and excitment as these were distributed to the needy families around the church was humbling - there was a constant stream of mums and dads to receive a selection of the clothes and they often insisted on kneeling to me (even more humbling). First they thanked Gladys, but she said no thank Sue and I said no thank God and his people in Blurton! So, A VERY BIG THANKYOU to EVERYBODY who gave baby clothes - it is hard to convey to you how very very special this has been for the people here and how much it shows them God's love..... tomorrow we will take the small baby clothes to Wakisa.... watch this space..
