Walking with Labor pains





We have a new member of our Compasio family! This tiny little guy, who has yet to be named, was born to one of the migrant families we have begun to help. We are so excited to welcome him to the world, and praise God that he made it. His mother was very sick during her pregnancy and has a long history with illness. We have been praying for her throughout the pregnancy. The doctors were not sure if she was strong enough to have the baby, but she proved how strong she was by walking five miles to the clinic when she was in labor! (She didn’t have a cell phone or vehicle).We visited them at home today and are going to buy groceries for them tomorrow. This very family, whom we love, could still use a monthly sponsor to send their three small boys to school, and provide rice and medicine for their needs. Please contact us (rachel@compasio.org) if you want to serve and love them in this way.
