Mother's Month

Dear ROWAN family,
The month of May is Mother's Day month! And as AMAKA we will honor every ROWAN mother/widow by making this month Mother’s Month!
Meet a mother/widow named Hadijah. Her motto is: He is Still Faithful!

These are words from a mother who bears too much on her shoulders. She is a mother who has lost her husband to AIDS. She is a mother living with HIV/AIDS and trying to raise her 3 children and still says that He isfaithful! She is a mother who works in her garden daily to try and make enough to feed her family. She is a mother who has a large tumor on her neck that causes shooting pain through her body and she still says He is faithful! She is a mother who just had 5 More children left at her doorstep from another mother who didn’t want her own children due to their HIV status. Hadijah just accepted Christ for the first time last summer and has taken on the loving characteristics of Jesus in her community. She is a mother who stands strong amidst the storms and trials…still boldly proclaims that her Lord Jesus, her Father in Heaven…is Faithful and Good. 

This is just one woman out of hundreds of others within the ROWAN family who live with these physical struggles.  What does a woman need more than encouragement?  Come alongside Hadijah with us and say, "Your are not alone."
