Our babies come to us in many ways.  Sometimes a father brings his child after the mother has died, or grandmother or aunt may bring an infant when both the mother and father are gone.  Occasionally the hospitals will have a baby abandoned after birth or left in their courtyard.  They will contact us to take the child after they have the baby stabilized.

 

We will not turn away any baby who is truly in distress.  God has called us here to help the poorest of the poor, the innocents.  Many suffer from AIDS, meningitis, tuberculosis, severe malnutrition, skin diseases, and sometimes birth defects.  We see Jesus in each child. 

 

Matthew 25:35-40 (Jesus is saying) "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."  Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?  When did we see you a stranger and invited you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?  When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'  "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"
