Moving forwards!

Dear friends and family,

Thank you for your continued prayers and support and concern for us and the children we care for.

Baby girl F (Tasty Tomato) came home from the hospital one week ago. She seems a good bit better, but is still having daily fevers so we would appreciate your continued prayers for her. If you recall when she arrived she weighed just about 7lbs and now she is up to 11.4lbs!! We're thrilled that she is clearly moving forward and getting stronger - you can't miss the incredible transformation every day you see her! And it always turns us to praising the One who has touched her and continues to touch her! Thank you Father God!

Baby Boy J was prayed for a couple of weeks back during church time by children in our centre who have come through similar sickness, malnutrition, then transformation. Ever since this short time of powerful prayer, little baby boy J has not missed a day of gaining weight!! He was just about 5lbs when he came to us and is up to over 6.6lbs!! We're thrilled - although, last week he started with fever and then breathing difficulty and had a short stay in hospital. He is back home with us now but still quite a vulnerable baby boy. We appreciate your continued prayers for him.

This last week we also received in baby twins...just 6 weeks old and tiny but oh so sweet! Meet babyF and babyR. We appreciate your prayers for their growth and development,

Our appreciation,
Matthew & Sheri

Baby boy J

Baby boy J
Okay, I don't particularly want to take the prayer focus off of baby girl F, but I feel there is another baby here who needs a lot of prayer as well - I will continue to keep you updated about baby girl F (who I believe will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow if not by Tuesday), but I want to tell you our concerns about this baby boy.

This is baby boy J. He is 10 weeks old and still weighs less than his birth weight. He has been with us for 2 weeks now and we still have seen no weight gain - he is just over 5 lbs - and just a wee peanut of a boy! He eats VERY well but still no weight gain - in fact, he is eating more for his weight than any other baby in the nursery - please pray for revelation for us and wisdom in treating him - more than anything, please pray for breakthrough for him. Thank you for your love and care for us and our children!
Baby boy J

...Jesus said "Let the little children come to Me..."

This was a few days before she was hospitalized
Baby girl F looks fantastic - visited her today in the hospital and she seems back to her normal self - definitely fighting a bad bacterial infection but no fever today and no difficulty breathing - Hallelujah - thank you Jesus for stepping in - yesterday I prayed all day for a touch from Him and for life - thank you Jesus that you are there every step of the way!


...For of such is the kingdom of heaven." (Matt 19:14)

Urgent prayer request for our tasty tomato

Would value your prayers for baby girl F (aka our tasty tomato) - she became very sick this morning with a very high fever (40C=104F) and struggling to breathe. She has been admitted to hospital and before I left her there (with her mother) she had received treatments that turned her around for the better, but she sure scared us and definitely has not turned the corner yet. Please pray for this beautiful miracles of ours.
