Thank you! Love, Baby Jobi
Jobilyn, her parents Benjie and Luk-ay and her “tita” Chel just arrived home from Manila this morning after a week of Doctor’s check-ups and tests in Manila. Because of numerous donations given over a period of just 2 days, Baby Jobilyn was able to get her MRI and will now be able to start a rehabilitation/physiotherapyContinue reading “Thank you! Love, Baby Jobi”
A Plea for Baby Jobilyn
Jobilyn Balagso, from the village of Hilltop Pakak, was born at Abundant Grace of God on November 29, 2009. She was born with both of her legs severely hyperflexed against her chest. When we took her to the local government hospital they took x-rays that showed she had almost non-existent kneecaps. Then they put castsContinue reading “A Plea for Baby Jobilyn”
Ground Breaking News
We started construction on the new Abundant Grace of God Maternity Center! I am in amazement at God. When we opened five years ago I never would have dreamed that we’d be able to build our very own clinic. We are so thankful for GDH (Samaritan’s Purse Germany) partnering with us to make this happen.Continue reading “Ground Breaking News”

We had a wonderful reception in both villages. I was particularly happy that we had so many women attend our seminar in Buscalan asContinue reading “Outreach to the Mountains”
Miracle Baby
“Miracle Baby” Abira Turns One Last month the Pullis family had a First birthday celebration and thanksgiving for their youngest child Abira. Do you remember her? Last March 2010, Abira was delivered 3 months premature because her mother had severe pre-eclampsia. We didn’t think that Abira would survive being born so early in a hospitalContinue reading “Miracle Baby”
A New Clinic – Could It Be True?
Since opening in February 2007 we have delivered almost 800 babies free-of-charge. We have outgrown our current location and are planning the building of our very own clinic. We have found a piece of land that is 5 minutes down the road and have put a down payment on it. It is in a beautifulContinue reading “A New Clinic – Could It Be True?”
