Haven of Hope

Today I'm gonna talk about an amazing woman and the 30+ kids she cares for...


Nelly runs Haven of Hope. A home for abandoned kids, most of them very  young. When we were there, she had 36 kids, I think 12 of them under the age of 2. She had a 3 week old named precious who  lived up to the name in every way! These precious children are very fortunate to be where they are, because God has placed them with Nelly, a Godly woman who loves them with all she has. 


While she struggles financially, she just cannot turn away children. She told us while we were there that sometimes she turns off her phone so that she can't be called and offered another baby, because she will always say yes. Her heart is amazing and I am believing that God is going to bless her amazingly because of the work she is doing.


Our team found out last week that she had her water turned off and wasn't going to be able to pay her rent. While a member of our team is busy building a website for her so that she can have outside help coming in, she has nothing now. We have sent some money, but we don't want this to be a problem again next month. If you would like to know how to give, please email or facebook me.


Whatever you do for the least of these....


until all have heard,
