Friday's Child

Meet Timothy Abraham. Timothy is 10 years old and lives at New Hope Center in Swaziland. Timothy and his little brother, Titus, came to New Hope because their mother saw the New Hope Center van in town and asked people what New Hope Center was about. They told her the home took children who were destitute and needed a new home and a new family. She walked over 7 miles to reach New Hope and ask if the home would take her two little boys as she is dying of HIV/AIDS. Their father had already died, as had the other family members. Their grandmother has become mentally ill through all the stress of the disintegration of the family so the mother was distraught about her two little boys. Thankfully God has provided for them, and they are now at New Hope Center. Both boys have TB and are on treatment, and New Hope prays they will grow strong.

Timothy was named after Timothy, Paul’s son in the Lord, as he has such a sweet and lovely nature. What a wonderful difference in the lives of children who have been spared the abuse that comes after losing both of their parents.
