Friday's update from Rachelle (this is Marilyn again)....Today Rachelle's niece was born and her name is Mia Lucia, named after Rachelle's mom. She is 7lb. 7oz. This is exciting news as a new life has entered the world.
Oceans away in Africa today, Robert & Moses' mother died this morning. This is obviously hard news,especially for Rachelle. The Lord has orchestrated a relationship with Rachelle and these boys so that she can minister and relate to them as they grieve the death of their mother. She met them within the first hour she arrived there and just learned last week that their mother was sick. The father is not present, however, there are some others there to help take care of the boys. Please pray for Rachelle as she grieves with them and ministers to them. Pray for Robert & Moses especially the next few days. Rachelle said she won't be able to attend the funeral in the village this weekend because the streets will be unsafe, once again, due to drunkeness because of the holiday.
I will update as I hear more. Pray for Rachelle...she sounded very tired.

rachelle...!
i just found this site. everyday i'm praying. and i lost the email that had the link to this site and i was looking everywhere for it. i found it on myspace, go figure...
i went back and read everything you have posted. i am in tears. correction, i'm bawling.
i love what God is doing over there with you, through you and in you.
i am praying for you intently.
i don't even know what else to say.
i love you and am so proud.
Rachelle,
I am thrilled for you for your sweet niece being born, and so sad for you and everyone there dealing with the death of that precious woman. I will be praying for you and those boys as well. I am so sorry. I know that God has you there for this appointed time for a unique and special reason. And, I bet a lot of that has to do with the comforting and showing of God's love to those boys. You can relate so well, and I know that that will/does mean a lot to them.
Love and miss you. Press on sister.
Erin
