Thomas Scott

Two rescues in one night — a reminder that nothing is possible without God. While Furaha the cow was being lifted up and supported to stand, a precious baby was in danger at a local clinic. We got a call from Social Welfare requesting that we go and get a baby from a local clinic who had just been born. His mother and grandmother were begging the doctors to poison him because they did not want this baby. When the clinic refused, both mother and grandmother left but is was suspected that they were hiding somewhere finding out where the baby would be taken. When Kelle and Terri arrived, they were told to stay in the car so that the rescue would not be noticed. After a few minutes a nurse came out with a bundle of blankets. When she got in the car, they unwrapped a newborn baby boy wrapped only in a cloth, still naked with a freshly clamped umbilical cord. After trips to two local police stations to file a report, sweet Thomas Scott arrived at Neema Village. He weighs 3 kg (6.6 lbs) and seems to be healthy. We are already praying for his forever family, but until they come, we will love him and remind him every day that he is loved not only by us, but by a God who will never abandon him. Two lives were saved last night. Nothing is possible without God.
