Blankets for New Day Orphanage

God is so good to provide more opportunities to pray for the brokenhearted in Africa.  We are making blankets for orphans in Zambia, Africa.  New Day Orphanage in Mapanza, Zambia, is just getting off the ground.  They received their 1st 4 orphans this month (June'11).   Their little faces are so sweet and we just can't resist wanting to serve them in this very special way.  We are making 10 prayer blankets and 1 for the Zambian house mother. New Day's vision is to have 10 houses with 10 orphans in each.  Each house will have a Christian, Zambian mother who will be responsible for caring for the children, getting them and dressed for  school, doing their laundry by hand, bathing them, singing to them, praying with them getting them ready for and putting them to bed.  She will be their mother.  These children will stay at New Day orphanage all their school years.  They will be provided with 1) a biblical world view,2) Zambian culture and 3)an excellent education.  All of these things will make them leaders in their community one day.  (That is the prayer).  All along coming to know Jesus as their personal savior and receiving the love of  family in Christ.
We have had another block party and have handed out and received back 10 finished blanket kits as well as one blanket for the Zambian mother.   It has been such a joy to be apart of this project.  Having names and faces of the 1st 4 orphans has made the prayers even sweeter.  All the blankets have been bathed in love and prayer with blessing cards and photos of the seamstress/prayer warrior.

Thank you to all who helped out on this project.  It was a quick turnaround and God was faithful to provide seamstresses and fabric to complete the project on time.  The blankets go to Kansas this week and the container they will be in, will go at the end of June.  Praise the Lord.
I pray the love of Christ will touch these children and change them from the inside out.  I pray these children will give their lives to Christ and in turn grow and mature to serve their country with love and compassion spreading the gospel to the whole continent of Africa.  In Jesus precious name Amen
