A cry in the bushes

This morning, a newborn baby boy was found all alone in the bushes of our capital. He was still attached to his umbilical cord, fragile, and crying out for help. By God’s grace, a Good Samaritan familiar to me named Mr Gaitor heard the cry, followed the sound, and found the child. While trying to contact the authorities, Mr Gaitor prayed over the baby and declared life into the atmosphere. His kindness and courage helped save a precious infant. For that, we owe him our deepest gratitude.
