Are children’s voices being heard? Do children’s cries matter?
This were questions asked to an angel “unaware” by one of the boldest uncompromising , firm but also most loved “Amma” for hundreds of children since 2004 ,who are now placed in wonderful families except for the 13 taken away suddenly from our dear Moamenla, director of Mothers Hope.
Did a real angel visit her in this difficult period in her life? I believe so. Assuring her that he had come before to help them, was with the children now and would be back with them. He left with: ”Be bold, be bold”. Then thanked her!
When we know we are doing the right thing, taking a stand for the little ones who have no voice, guess who is perking up?
Angels listen to the voice of the Lord, His word( Psalm 103:20)They listened to her and her kids and apparently have been for years.
No matter whoever and no matter how many people want you to compromise, if you continue to be a voice for those who have no voice, you are on God’s side and He is on yours! He will continue to send his angels to watch over those who cannot speak up and encourage those who have become the victim of people who rather compromise for money then to defend the little ones.
Here is someone who sacrificed her own life, her reputation, her sleep, free time and so much more to carry out her God given vision. For her own people! Now over 200 Naga families have a child of their own. Girls who most probably were abused or could not take care of the baby because of lack of a supporting family, were left alone or thrown out in their delicate state,found Mothers Hope . Spared from having to do the worst; aborting the life they cherished and loved in spite of the circumstance it came about. They found a supporting environment to bring the baby into the world, were guided through many months of mind battles. Assured that their baby would be put into a good loving family among their own people without abusers and accusing voices.
New laws sprung up in 2015, which would mean compromise the children’s welfare, the mothers welfare and their future. Mothers Hope had a choice to make. Bow down to it, sign papers they did not agree with or risk threats and more because they refused to bow down,sign and compromise?
She choose the last for the sake of the mothers and children, putting herself,her reputation, her own welfare and her God given calling and ministry at risk. Why? Because she truly feared God and rather obeyed God then man’s compromising unreasonable rules for the sake of mothers, babies and future families.
Such God fearing women should be heroes in our sight. Be heralded, praised,supported instead of being harassed,pressured, threatened and persecuted by her own people.

Forward 74 years-Is this is where we are at?
“They came to our country and we heard about the persecutions, doors being closed, children trafficked, girls abused, and more. They told us they were just rumors.” Really? Not rumors in the minds of some of those girls and kids we took care of, which seem to be the right thing to do.
“They came to our State which proclaimed they were for Christ and protected. At last- sincere helpful Christians we thought . Christians would stand by their own people and do unto others as they would do to their own.” So we did- We called ourselves Christians so we certainly should act like one. ..But where was the rest of them? Why were there so few fathers standing up for their own? How come woman and children’s voices were not heard and just brushed aside?
“They came to our city and we thought with so many churches, righteousness rules, corruption was being corrected, see obedience to God’s Word without compromise and pointing fingers, certainly take care of the widows and orphans like our Bible said…” So we did. Disappointment was faced when corruption seem to be normal and widows and orphans neglected by most.
“They came to our village who asked us to help ban corruption, alcohol , give true factual information.” So we did. Appreciated? Changes made? We dare hope so!
They came for the children of Mothers Hope- children we had come to love dearly-Then heard they were ripped away from their loving environment. We kneeled, prayed, interceded and wept.
But rejoiced when we heard an angel –yes, a real angel disguised as a short Naga-came to Mothers Hope.To let her know the kids were guarded by Jesus Himself and him, the visitor angel, and always will be. The kids would be back!
Thank you all, those standing on God’s side, with Mothers hope and those dear children who are now at the mercy of people who refused to understand what it meant when they cried: ” No! We do not want to go”. Little heart cries ,confused about what was going wrong. Some still asleep but suddenly taken from their loved ones.
I trust on the right side or I would dread to be in your shoes.
You want an angel visit too, entertain strangers unaware?( Hebrews 13:2)
Join the right side! And stand up for those who have no voice!
Thank YOU Heavenly Father. Defend your little ones!
Truth! Come forth!
