Elliott's fight is over

My sweet baby Elliott no longer has to fight for his life. He is finally at peace and resting in the arms of his Heavenly Father.

I am so grateful to have had the pleasure of being "Mama Elliott" for the last 6 months. He was a such a joy.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, all for your prayers, financial support for all of his medical care and your encouragement to me when things were difficult. You not only made a difference in Elliott's life but there were countless people here in Cameroon who were challenged that Christians far away would care to do what they could to help a "helpless child" in Africa. Many people were amazed that anyone would care that much. I had the privilege of sharing Christ with so many in the hospital because of your gifts. Almost daily, the nurses brought people to me to share Elliott's story which led to me sharing the love of the Lord with so many people I would have never met.

Without your and your support, Elliott (and many children like him) would have likely been "thrown away" and left to die very early on. His Neurologist and one of the Charge nurses told me of people who ended up fighting for their child's life after hearing about what was being done for Elliott. These are people that I have never met but God's love for Elliott was shared with them and they were convicted to love in the manner that God loves all of His children.

Toya was not in this fight alone. I may have been the physical person caring for him (along with my dear friends and roomies here) but it was your prayers and financial support that helped make it all possible. Please know that your gifts and your prayers made a HUGE difference in the lives of many others. 2 weeks ago I had the privilege of sharing the gospel with Elliott's birth mother, and several of her family members and friends.

Elliott's life was a blessing to many and hopefully a reminder to all that EVERY life has value. I will do what I can to continue to fight for children around the world and will do my best to help improve medical conditions here in Africa. My prayer is that you will continue to join me in this fight. We as Christians are the voice for the voiceless and must demonstrate the Father/Mother heart of God to those who don't know Him around the world.

Thank you again for joining me on this journey. I don't have words to express my gratitude. My heart is overwhelmed with the generosity of people from all over. Thank you for listening when I ranted and praying just when I needed it. (even if you weren't aware) Please remember to be a light to those who are around you.

Share the love of Christ with all who come in your path, so that at the end of their "fight" here on earth, they too, will rest in the arms of our Savior
