A Police Officer and his wife prayed to God to have their own family, and God led them to adopt a baby abandoned in a safe haven box.

Couple Praying To Have Their Own Family

Indiana Police Officer Bruce Faltynski and his wife Shelby had always dreamed of building their own family. They’d been praying to God about it and eventually the young couple decided to opt for adoption. First, they adopted an 8-year-old girl named Kaia. And months later, God once again added a new family member.

One fine day in northern Indiana firehouse, a baby was left abandoned in a Safe Haven box. The social service who took care of the baby later called her Myah. Unbeknown to the little baby, God had already prepared her would-be adoptive parents who asked God for her.

Abandoned Baby Myah

Apparently, Bruce and Shelby went through foster-to-adoptive parent training to enlist as a couple qualified to adopt babies. As they prepared themselves, God led them to baby Myah.

Finally, the social service called the couple and told them about the baby girl who needed a home. So, they took her home without any hesitation, knowing she was God’s answered prayer. Now, baby Myah does not just have a loving mother and father but a loving big sister as well.

In an interview with NewsNation, Bruce recounted the moment they received the social service call. They felt nervous, and then pure joy took over.

“We waited for God to give us our own family,” Shelby said.

Meanwhile, Myah’s new big sister, Kaia, also shared her excitement about having a baby sister.

“As I’m being a big sister, I can hold her, feed her and play with her cause it’s really fun to be with her,” the 8-year-old said.

GOD INTERVENES WHEN CHRISTIAN MOTHER OPTS FOR ABORTION FROM FEAR

Shelby also expressed her admiration for Myah and Kaia’s mother, who granted them the privilege of becoming their family. And the new mom has a message for other couples praying to have children. She encouraged, “…God uses the storm and He has good plans. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future and I hope that God can use our story to encourage another family to know that He truly does have better plans, even when it does not feel like it.”

Young Student Selflessly Adopts Abandoned Baby Found In Trash Bin: ‘I Took A Leap Of Faith’

A young student from Texas selflessly adopted an abandoned baby found in a dumpster home in Haiti, “I took a leap of faith.”

Abandoned Baby Found In Trash Bin

Jimmy Amisial went to school in Texas and visited his home country, Haiti, in 2017. Unbeknownst to him, that trip would change his life forever. He was 27 years old when he found an abandoned baby.

In a dumpster home, people found a baby in a trash bin. It created commotion in that place, and many people surrounded the infant. According to Jimmy, some were “arguing about what to do with this tiny baby.” But no one dared to open their arms and take the poor baby in.

“Everyone was just staring at him,” he recalled. “Not a single soul wanted to help. He was crying and had no clothes on, and I could see the pain in his eyes — I had to do something.”

A Leap Of Faith

At that moment, Jimmy felt a nudging in his heart to take care of the baby. So, he took him home with his mom and bathed the baby. They took care of his clothes, food and also to a doctor “to treat his ant bites.”

Soon after, Jimmy had to make a decision if he were to become the baby boy’s legal guardian. Hence, he spent days thinking a lot about it. He considered the weight of the responsibility of having a child since they are not really well-off financially.

“I was already behind on my university fees,” he recounted. “And my family has always struggled to make ends meet.”

Then Jimmy remembered his own story and felt compassion towards the baby without parents. He himself grew up without a father. So, he took a leap of faith.

“Something inside told me that this had happened for a reason — so I took a leap of faith,” he attested. “Sometimes you don’t have to know what to do, you just have to be ready, to do it.”

GOD CREATES BRAIN FOR BABY BORN WITHOUT BRAIN, AND TODAY HE BECOMES A PREACHER

Today, the baby boy named Emilio Angel Jeremiah lived and is already four years old. Jimmy and his mom raised the young boy together. Although it became difficult for Jimmy to earn a degree because of his situation, he says “he has no regrets.”

“It’s been an incredible journey and watching him grow up has been so rewarding,” he remarked. “I’m very proud of him.”

“I’m glad I got the opportunity to transform his life from being abandoned in the trash to being a wonderful treasure. It’s been fun seeing him grow — he’s a joy to be around.”

Jimmy truly displayed the selfless love of Christ to the baby. He became God’s hands and feet for the needy. May God bless him even more!

Abandoned Baby Becomes CEO Of $62 Million Company

by Christel Berns November 14, 2019

written by Christel Berns

Life is all about choices. The future you create depends on the choices you make today. That’s why, regardless if you were born rich or it’s your call how you will live your life in the end. And for the 29-year old Freddie Figgers, he chose to become a successful entrepreneur who genuinely helps people through his inventions.

Abandoned at birth

Freddie was an abandoned baby. At birth, his biological mother left him in a dumpster. But God never abandoned him. Freddie was eventually adopted by loving parents, Nathan and Betty Figgers.

Freddie was highly intelligent child. At 9 years old he had his broken computer fixed and fully operational again all by himself. Then at 12 he got his first job as a computer technician. However, Freddie didn’t stop there. Because at 15 he started his own cloud computing services business.

Freddie’s Inspiration

Nathan and Betty Figgers loved and supported Freddie like their own as he grew up. His proudest innovation was a special shoe he created for his father. When Freddie was just a child they found out his dad had an Alzheimer’s disease. For this reason, Freddie invented a shoe with a GPS tracker on it and a two-way communicator.

“I could pick up the phone and say, ‘Hey dad, where are you at?’ and he doesn’t have to do anything, just lean down and talk into his shoe and I can track his location,” Freddie explained.

“That program was very successful and I had a company reach out to me out of Kansas and they bought the program from me for $2.2 million.”

The success of that invention opened greater opportunities for Freddie. He then started the Figgers Communications through the money he earned.

Furthermore, his inventions include an anti-texting and driving software. He made headlines because of this. Also, Freddie created a cell phone with a built-in wireless blood glucose meter for people with diabetes. At the age of 24, he had 80 custom software programs built, designed and executed, according to Wikipedia.

Purpose Over Profit Philosophy

Despite all the success and fame, Freddie remained humble. He greatly emphasized that it’s not about the money; it’s about creating a better world.

In an interview with Black News, Freddie said, “American Consumers spend billions of dollars with large corporations that only provide a product or service, to suck the life out of you with their profits, but those companies don’t financially impact the average person in our communities.”

Freddie also started his own foundation helping communities. He sponsors senior citizen bills, youth programs and scholarships. On top of that, he offers relief efforts in case of natural disasters, and other humanitarian deeds.

“I believe turning caring into action, and if you see a problem find a solution to deliver an impact to change someone’s life. I started my Foundation with my personal salary and believe in giving back. I remember where I came from and simply what shall a man profit if he gains the whole world but lose his soul in the process. I’m going to impact this world and change today for a better tomorrow, because money is nothing but a tool, but with that tool we can impact and change everyday people’s lives with opportunities.”

Miracle Baby – Hand Of God Protects Abandoned Baby Trapped Inside Stormwater Pipe

by GOD TV February 14, 2019

written by GOD TV

Recently, a newborn baby was reportedly trapped inside a storm water pipe in South Africa. Residents called emergency services after hearing cries coming from a drain. As soon as the rescuers arrived they discovered that the baby was indeed inside a concrete pipe. Then carefully, they started to dig her out.

“An intense rescue operation was started. We had to dig down, then once we reached the concrete drain, we had to chisel through it, being extra cautious with the little baby inside,” said Garrith Jamieson, Operations Director at Rescue Care.

“We had to use a hammer and a chisel to gain entry into the pipe. Then, rescuers managed to grip the little girl, who though crying was in good spirits,” he added.

Garrith was also asked whether he considered the incident as God’s divine intervention. He then revealed to South African news outlet eNCA:

“We commonly find babies being dumped, but I can honestly say this is my first time [finding a baby] in a stormwater drain. I do think it was a miracle. It was raining last night, this little baby was washed down from up on the roadway. To be found alive and well, crying and in good spirits, I really do think it’s a miracle.”

One eyewitness at the scene had tears on his face. He’s a dad of a 5-year-old and he felt compassion towards the abandoned little girl. “I was just like ‘Get this baby out!” he said.

And in the recent report from News24 Durban, it was said that the baby is already doing well.

“She has been awake, responsive and crying. Her glucose and sugar levels are good,” said Dr. Timothy Hardcastle.

Afterwards, he revealed the miracle, “I think any child who survives any amount of hours — and it sounds like it was at least four to five hours — in a stormwater pipe on days two or three after birth is a miracle. It is mercy from above that she is alive.”

“She is basically stable enough for transfer to one of the base hospitals where they can sort out the social side. But from a medical point of view, things are looking good.”

Being trapped inside the drainage system is no joke. On top of that, the baby was only about 3-days-old and all alone in that murky place for five hours!

Let me ask you, is that possible? Of course with God nothing is impossible. Indeed, God was with this little girl. It’s truth that she was abandoned, but God never left her side and protected her.

Let’s continue to pray for this brave little one as she continues to recover from this dreadful event.

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” (Psalm 18:2)
