Babies are so squeezable! Even the Bible says that Jesus “took the children in His arms, put His hands on them and blessed them.” (Mark 10:16) Just as Jesus did, you have an opportunity to bless the children of AGC Baby Center in various ways. Whether you are in Kenya or some other place in the world, your hands can reach to AGC Baby Center and bless the lives of babies and staff here.
Here are some ideas for how your hands can reach.
H - Helping
At AGC Baby Center, we realize that a lot of work goes into caring for children. Although we have full-time staff members who care for the needs of the babies, we realize that interaction with others can enrich the lives of these children. Therefore, we welcome volunteers who would like to give from their own lives to help. If you’re nearby and have time and a heart to serve children in need, maybe you should volunteer.
Your hands can be used in many ways to…
hold and play with babies
fold laundry
beautify the grounds to make a safe environment for children to play
clean or help in the kitchen
If you have specialized skills or experience in areas such as social work, child development, early childhood education, agriculture, business, or advancement, there may be opportunities for you to impact the lives of
these babies using your gifts and training.

A - Advocacy
AGC Baby Center needs people who can partner with us in advocacy—sharing information and calling others to support the cause…the cause of Christ in redeeming these precious little lives. While we are busy here continuing the ministry, we ourselves are not able to easily reach to new contacts. Many of you can touch people that we cannot reach, and therefore, touch the lives of babies and staff by bringing in new prayer warriors, new financial supporters, new encouragers, new volunteers.
If you know people who are interested in ministry to children, and especially in the work of Jesus around the world, perhaps you should share with them stories of AGC Baby Center. It can be as simple as sharing with a Sunday school class, ladies’ fellowship, men’s group, or Bible study group. As more people pray together,
rejoice together, work together, give together, and encourage one another, our community can become bigger and our fellowship richer.

N - eNcouragement
All of our staff at AGC Baby Center work hard every day to care for the babies. However, they do not simply work here; they view their jobs as ministry. We see evidence everyday that each employee loves the babies. In the course of our days, we experience so much joy and fulfillment. But there are also times when we face many things that are difficult and could be discouraging. Also, like every other person, our
employees experience the journey of life with all of its joys and hardships.
Maybe you would like to be in communication with a staff member, to build a relationship that will enable you to pray and to encourage. If you have some time, prayers, and words to give from your heart, you can encourage and strengthen a staff member. As you bring inspiration, courage, and hope, you can encourage one of our staff to continue well, and therefore directly impact the care of the babies.
The reality of caring for children is that we have needs in caring for them. While some people may not be able to be here all the time caring directly for the babies, many of us can give out of the abundance from God in order to assist with normal needs of children.
We do our utmost to be good stewards of all funds given to AGC Baby Center and will always apply gifts toward care of the children. Whatever funds are used for these babies, we believe this ministry is worth it… for who can put a price on the value of a soul?
As we continue with regular operational expenses, there are two ways to share:
1.Financial Donations: Just like any other home, we have to pay for electricity, food, medicine, etc. Also, we have the blessing of providing many Kenyans in the local community with jobs that help support their families. If you’re interested in making a difference in the lives of these children, one way you can do that is to give of your finances.
If you’re interested and able to give on a regular basis a Transformation Pledge is an easy way to know that your money is being used to directly make a difference in the life of children. Click here to learn more.
If you’re able to give a gift right now, you can still know that your money is being used directly for care of the babies. Click here to see the kind of difference your money can make and to know how to give.
2. Gifts-in-Kind: Another way that you can be part of meeting the needs of caring for children is by giving from your own “harvest”. If you’re nearby and want to bring from your shamba or shop, you can find a list of things below that we can use to help care for the babies.

S - Supplication
The most significant impact that any of us can have in the lives of these children and for the sake of the ministry of AGC Baby Center is to pray! We are committed to prayer as the main tool of the ministry. As we go before the Lord with our praise, thanksgiving, and needs, we understand that by entering into prayer, we enter into fellowship with the Lord. Through this fellowship, we can know God better and
become more like Him in order to understand His mind and heart for all our decisions and actions.
We believe that we desperately need God and His presence to guard and guide us and our ministry. We also believe that we need others to unite with us in prayer—to share the joys and to join in the battle with us. If you would be willing to be committed to joining us in prayer, we can share with you regular updates about the praises and requests of AGC Baby Center.
