Prayers for our babies!

The little guy in the middle of this picture loves Jesus more than any little boy I've ever known. It's not unusual to see him laying hands on other sick little children in church and just praying his little heart out - I may have never seen a child's heart as beautiful and pure as this little guy's. He himself is very unwell. He and we would appreciate your prayers for him as we all try to come together to get to the bottom of what is going on. Basically he has been very unwell for months but test after test has come back clear giving us no better indication of what his little body is fighting. He is being looked after by good doctors as an out patient, but I feel he needs to be admitted to hospital so that the whole picture can be seen at once. Now with swollen face, a very distended belly, an ugly chronic cough that racks his body and many other symptoms, we will go to the hospital tomorrow morning seeking to be admitted for more tests and hopefully yield more information as the doctors put all the puzzle pieces together. We ask for your heartfelt prayers for this beautiful little boy, that even as he himself over and over again cries out to Jesus for his own healing - that his body would know peace - Shalom. Thank you and bless you!

This is Gloria - isn't she gorgeous?! She will be 1 year old at the end of March.



This is Gloria next to a 3 month old who is malnourished
This is Gloria, 11months old, next to a healthy 6 month old!
Please pray for Gloria to grow well - she was brought to us from another children's centre - we don't have much more of her story than what we can see with our eyes - she is obviously struggling with chronic malnutrition, but has already gained 1/2kg in a week (for her 3.5kg body that's a massive weight gain and we're thrilled!!) She's now 4kg!

This is Igor - we love him to BITS!! Isn't he stunning!!!


Jeremias likes to sleep like this - HA!

We love each and every child that He has entrusted into our care. Please pray with us for each one!
Blessings and love from us,
Sheri & Matthew Steer
