This past weekend, our Kenya team had the opportunity to share about their April trip with Roy & Martha’s church in Ohio.

It was such a special time to reconnect, reflect on all that God did during our time in Kenya, and share stories of the growth, hope, and beauty we witnessed throughout Makueni County.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came, listened, encouraged, and supported the work. Your kindness and partnership mean more than we can express, and we never take it for granted.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. You truly make a difference❤️

Today, we’re celebrating a very special girl — it’s Fredah’s birthday! 🎉

Sweet Fredah joined our family after experiencing more hardship than any child should have to carry. Though her early years were marked by instability and loss, we are so grateful she is now surrounded by people who love her deeply and are committed to helping her heal, grow, and thrive.

Since coming to AHMI, we’ve already seen such beautiful changes in her. Little by little, Fredah is learning what it means to feel safe, cared for, and truly at home. She is bright, resilient, and full of so much potential, and it’s a privilege to walk beside her as she steps into this new chapter of life.

What would make this birthday even more meaningful is seeing Fredah become fully sponsored. A sponsor helps provide the care, education, opportunities, and support that allow children like Fredah to flourish. If you feel led to be part of her journey, please visit the link in our bio.

Thank you for loving and believing in children like Fredah. 💛

Some of the hardest parts of this work are the moments no one sees.

At Abba's Heart Ministries, our purpose is to step into the lives of children facing circumstances they never chose and offer them safety, stability, and love. But there are times when love alone cannot determine the outcome.

There is a process to bringing a child into our family, and there are legal realities that must be honored. Sometimes, despite how deeply we care for a child and how desperately we wish we could keep them, they must return to biological relatives. Even when it breaks our hearts. Even when they want to stay.

The grief of those goodbyes is difficult to put into words.

And while every member of our family feels that loss, no hearts carry it more deeply than the two people who open their arms to each child from the very first moment they meet them. They don't hold children at a distance to protect themselves. They love fully, immediately, and without reservation.

This work is beautiful. It is meaningful. And sometimes, it is profoundly painful.
Yet still, they continue to say yes. Because every child deserves to be loved completely for however long they are entrusted to us.

If you've ever wondered what sponsorship means to us at Abba's Heart Ministries, this post is for you.

The truth is simple: without our sponsors, we couldn't do what we do. Your support helps create opportunities, provide stability, and change lives every single day.

Thank you for being part of this mission. We are deeply grateful for every person who chooses to walk alongside our children and staff.

Today is Alex’s day! 🎉

Our guy turns 21 today, and we couldn’t be more proud of the man he’s becoming. Alex moves through life with such gentleness and kindness—it’s just who he is—but don’t let that quiet nature fool you. He is strong, focused, and deeply protective of the people he loves.

When Alex sets his mind on something, he goes after it with steady determination and all his heart.

Join us in wishing Alex a very happy 21st birthday today! 🎂

Mueni came to us alongside her two siblings, Mercy and Muuo, after a heartbreaking loss—her mama passed away from an untreated infection that began after stepping on a thorn. For a short time they stayed with their grandmother, but it became clear that they needed a place where their daily needs, education, and care could be fully supported.

Since joining our AHMI family, Mueni has truly been a ray of sunshine. She carries such a gentle joy with her, and she’s adjusted beautifully to her new home. Every day we get to watch her grow a little more confident, a little more curious, and a little more like herself.

Mueni is still in need of a sponsor to walk alongside her—helping provide for her education, medical care, daily needs, and all the little things that come with growing up. If you would like to be that person for Mueni, please follow the link in our bio.

Thank you for being part of this story!

Where there’s a spot of land, there’s room to grow 🌱

Right now, our playground is doing double duty as a little barnyard overnight for the animals! During the day, the goats and cows are led out to graze around different parts of the property, then brought back in each evening.

From fresh milk each day, to naturally fertilizing the land, to meat shared on special occasions, these animals have become such a meaningful part of life on the compound. How lovely to see every corner of this land used to nurture, provide, and care for our beautiful AHMI family ❤️

It’s our sweet girl Yvonne’s birthday! Today she turns 12 🥳

Yvonne joined the AHMI family in 2023 and quickly became someone we can’t imagine life without. She carries such kindness, gentleness, and sweetness that everyone who meets her instantly loves her.

Whether she’s giggling with her siblings over a joke or braiding her sisters’ hair, Yvonne has a quiet way of making every space feel warmer.

She may not always put herself front and center, but there is no missing the joy and love she brings to our family every single day.

Help us wish Yvonne a very happy birthday in the comments below 💛
