Breaking News! For a long time, as you know, it has been in our hearts to build a Birthing Center right here in Fond Parisien next to the Jesus Healing Center and our Malnutrition Center. Many mothers die during childbirth, or right after, due to “eclampsia,” or childbirth fever. This is due to unsanitary conditions or when someone cuts the cord with a rusty knife or tin can, or anything filthy or dirty. Nearly half of our orphan children have come to us due to the death of their mothers from childbirth.

Now, we are seeing that many mothers are having their babies “outside our gate,” as they wait to see our doctors. We are not a “Birthing Center” yet. We are a clinic, and are not set up to deliver babies, but sometimes they come “too soon” and we have to help.

When we shared the news of the Birthing Center, we immediately received a “matching grant gift” of half the amount of what we expect the cost to be. The Matching Grant will be $200,000 so we need to raise the remaining $200,000. If you are interested in giving, please call our Love A Child Office at 239-210-6107. We are believing God for the impossible, to have the birthing center finished and have the dedication in December of 2018.

We will also have “Teaching Classes” for mothers, so they know how to take care of their babies, “before and after” delivery. This is one of the most exciting projects we have ever done… and one that is desperately needed. There is not a birthing center anywhere near this area. By faith… Bobby and Sherry
