The three in the top picture are Miriam, Patience and Precious and the bottom two Mary and Godiya. Two came due to being orphaned recently, one has been involved in occultic practices and is with us for her own safety and two came as a result of their father dying and mother becoming invloved in prostitution. They have all settled in really quickly and are so happy just to get the chance to be a child, a girl surrounded by other girls and to feel safe again. Its a pleasure getting to know them. Obviously they come with challenges, one being very few clothes except what they arrive in !!! but our new Grandma is such a prayer warrior she spends hours praying over the girls and loves them to bits and Mama Sati absorbs them all into her family...with such great role models we pray they will grow into strong women of God.
One of them was so protected by God this week. Her parents both died in the last few years and her older sister ran away and she and another sister were taken seperately to be a housemaid to a distant relative. This girl was treated quite badly and not schooled and had to work hard and then this week the lady who was "caring" for her told her they were travelling to Jos. They arrived and went into town and the lady told her to wait while she went to get something and never came back. So this young girl was left stranded , never having been to Jos, knowing no one and having no where to go. She started to beg...and Praise God she begged to a lady who knew of our ministry and who immediately brought her to us.. God literally saved her as who knows what would have happened to her on the street...and she then came into the ministry and has accepted Jesus as her own personal saviour and has started a new life at Gyero...
