Wendingoudi - "God, my caring shepherd"
|
Wendingoudi with Justine, a widow who takes care of him at the ACTS Center |
The Lord hears the cries of the poor.
The newest addition to our orphanage is a little baby boy. His father died while his mother was pregnant. After the baby was born, the mother was destitute. She had other children who were starving and did not know what to do. She threw the baby in the dump. She could not bear to see the child suffer because of want.
The little boy was found and brought to the ACTS Hope Center orphanage. He is now about 7 months old and healthy considering his difficult start in life. At ACTS he is being cared for with love. His name, Wendingoudi, in English means “God, My Caring Shepherd.”
I am reminded about the story of Hagar in Genesis 21:15-16, and how desperate she was when she took little Ishmael into the desert. She walked away from the child because she couldn’t endure watching the boy die. But the Lord told her that he would live and not die.
Genesis 21:20 says that God was with the boy as he grew up. In the same way, God watched over little Wendingoudi and gave him to ACTS orphanage. There he will grow up knowing his namesake and how much he is loved by God.
