When I was growing up, I was so loved by people older than my age, church mates & community people at large. I am born from two devoted servants of God. So, our home was an open door to people. Many times women would take me to their homes to just chat and laugh. Many times, they would drop their children at our home to be with me when I was free. I would be with these kids the whole day teaching them the Bible stories, singing with them, plaiting the girls hair, sharing food, up until they were picked.
Several weekends children came at our home calling for ba Maria, to play kikiki. At that time, I did not make anything out of this. To me it was just a life I enjoyed. My mother always wondered how these women and their children would love me this much. Little did I know that I was pregnant with a ministry for children. Young boys & girls, have always occupied my space and we have done a lot of things together in building up their lives. Oh, I also have been a Sunday School Teacher, a youth leader, a Deaconess and an ordained Minister of the Gospel, & a Mother. A great ministry I love. part 1 ❤️
Let me not forget to share that as a young girl until now, I have been given the honour of naming people's children. The first person to ask me name her child was my own Aunty, my Mother's younger Sister, then Mr. Brao, my Father's work-mate, and many others after that. I gave names to children in Ndola where I grew up from, and also named children in Solwezi and Kasama & Lusaka where I have later lived.Other parents have named their children after me, within and outside my biological family. I HAVE BEEN REPLICATED. A mystery I don't even understand, but feels fulfilling.
So, because of the love for children, Maria Mother of Charity Relief Home International (MMCRHI)was birthed. We have been changing the lives of people in Zambia & we don't parade them. Isaiah 60:1-2
