Meet Madam Magda!!!

 

Madam Magda has been a vital part of Children’s Hope since she began working here as a nanny in 2014. She has poured into each child and lovingly led fellow staff members for almost four years now. She has been a source of encouragement through the up’s and down’s and a beaming light in the community.

Madam Magda lives only a few doors down from Children’s Hope. Her daughter, who is 27 years old and has now completed school, lives with her there. She can always be found singing at Children’s Hope, smiling and laughing on her front porch, or on the front row at church reciting passages of Scripture. Madam Magda shows unbelievable faith in everything she does. She has a way of involving the Lord in the mundane with her actions and words. She shows leadership in worship and expresses her desire for others to grow in their faith. Every Saturday night, the nannies gather together after they have put the kids to bed and they sing and worship the Lord together. Madam Magda played a large role in organizing this weekly event.

Favorite Color: Pink!

Favorite Food: Potatoes and Yam (a type of cooked root that is delicious!!!)

Madam Magda now works part-time at Children’s Hope, and therefore, works in several of the houses. She loves doing everything with the kids. She simply loves to keep them laughing! She loves these kids deeply and loves this job as well! She says that this job provides HOPE, not only to the children here but also to the staff who work here. It helps with financial provisions, yes, but it also provides hope in seeing the next generation raised in a healthy manner and in way that glorifies the Lord.

Madam Magda says that more than anything, she desires to remain faithful to Lord: “I want to help build our Eternal Home.”

Prayer Request: Earlier in the year, Madam Magda was hospitalized with an issue in her foot. She asks for continued prayers on this as she can still feel that it has not completely healed. She asks for prayers for overall health that she can always continue to work.
