Support For Abu Is Restored
Posted by leeh on May 8, 2009

During the Blake’s stay in Maiduguri they accepted the foster care of a young boy because his father could not take care of him. Abubakar (Abu) for short was cared for through the generosity of Richard and Donna Macon, members of the College Hills Church of Christ in Lebanon, TN.
Due to the confusion caused by the untimely recall of the Blake family in May of last year, Abu was placed in the care of one of the Godly Shepherds of the Wulari Jerusalem Church of Christ in Maiduguri. While it was a struggle financially for this Shepherd of the sheep to take on this responsibility, Abu needed someone and he answered the call.
We are excited to let you know that Richard and Donna Macon (brother and sister) have stepped up to the challenge and have volunteered once again to provide funds for the care of Abu. We are so thankful for Richard and Donna and their love for Abu. In a day when there are so many children in need of someone it is easy to just turn away because we can help them all. I commend the spirit of Richard and Donna to do what they can do and not be discouraged by what they can not do. There support will make a huge difference in this one little life.
