Blessing to baby Marlena



A beautiful journey to Masisi lead me to a child that had no name. The baby girl was just one week and there were many struggles with their lives. The mother had asked me to name her so my name is what I gave to here. I wrote it on a small scrap of paper and the mother took it to a very safe place. The mother is not a part of Suubi but had just gone that morning to talk to a chairperson in Suubi to see if it would be possible for her to join. As soon as baby Marlena was born the father ran out. Before the child was born she was cooking alchol to make ends meet but now she was unable to do that with the child being born she is now with no income. I can only pray now that the Lord will provide for her in some way. I am hoping with all God's power there is something she is able to do! Please pray as well! The more prayers the more power! I believe that her family and friends will beable to help her because I have learned they live in community and when one is down they are all down and are open to help in any way! I praise God for that! I feel blessed to have another Marlena on the earth!
