The Love of Christ

By Mary

Usually, it would be Alanna's turn to be writing here. But Alanna and two more of my friends are in Paris today, halfway to a wonderful little corner of the world--a small farm in Eikenhof South Africa, just outside of Johannesburg and known as The Love of Christ ministries.

TLC is a children's home that exists to care for orphaned, abandoned and HIV+ babies. It was begun in April 1993 by Thea Jarvis when she took in her first two abandoned baby boys. It has since grown into a nursery of about 40 0-3 year olds supported by a small office staff and a more hands on volunteer staff of ideally 20 people.

The goal of TLC is to not only to care for the babies health and developement but to pour love and life into their lives. Pray for God to fill and use Alanna and Joshua and Kaila to meet their spiritual needs and draw near to Him.
