We are sorry to have to announce that Matt and Kelly Erdman and the girls are leaving Neema Village. After three years at Neema they will be going on to bigger and better things. Many changes have happened while they were at Neema and we are grateful for their time and their part in this precious ministry of saving abandoned, orphaned and at risk babies in Africa. We wish them all the best in their new adventures.

But the work at Neema goes on. Two new babies have come to us this month.

Ezekiel in the picture above was born on April 4, and is an abandoned baby. We will be watching for his Forever Family. Neema has now had 28 adoptions! Maybe Ezekiel will be number 29.

Editha, pictured below, came to Neema on Thursday, she is 14 months old and weighs only 9 lbs or 4.2 kg. Kelly Mollel says she looks like a small 3 month old. Editha was born with a cleft palette which has been repaired but she still has some other medical issues.

With good Neema love and care we are praying she will be healthy and happy in just a short time.

Kelly Mollel, her husband and baby are leaving today for Nairobi and heart surgery for Abigail. The hospital bill was paid from the Neema Village Medical Fund so Thank You to all of you who contributed to that fund so Abigail can live. Please be praying for the success of that surgery.

 As we say goodbye to Matt and Kelly and wish success for Abigail’s surgery we leave you all with a Blessing.

“The Lord Bless you and keep you
The Lord make his face to shine upon you
And be gracious unto you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24
