Arystadeus Jacob

Four month old Arytadeus’s mom and dad were fighting and the dad threw a machette at the mom and hit the baby across the nose instead.  The father ran away and the police put the mother in jail for not cooperating and telling where the father was.  A sweet little guy caught in the middle, what a shame.  Anyone know of a marriage counselor in Africa?  We could certainly use one. We are not sure what the future will hold for little Ary but we will love him until the Police can get it figured out.


Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.
