We had five babies dedicated at our Emergency Maternity Shelter. Enjoy the story from one of the moms, told by a passionate house-mom.
"One of the Moms who had her sweet baby girl dedicated expressed that she doesn’t necessarily believe in God, nor does she consider herself religious, but she wanted her daughter dedicated as an expression of her desire for her daughter to have a better life and experience something she didn’t growing up. So she decided to have her baby dedicated to the Lord because she wants her baby to grow up and have a faith outside of herself, and grow up in the things of God. "I thought that was so awesome and even more precious to watch as Sandy, our volunteer Bible study teacher, dedicated the baby to the Lord! Each time we dedicate the babies it is an intimate time. The Mom’s get touched and weep as they make a commitment before God and us to raise their child to know God, and fulfill His purpose for them". Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
