She wasn't supposed to make it. Born at only 21 weeks and six days after conception, little Amillia was 9½ inches long and weighed about 10 ounces. The doctors didn't give her much of a chance. Full-term births come after 37 to 40 weeks.
But with the constant care of her parents, doctors, nurses and hospital staff, she is now 17 weeks old and weighing 4 pounds. She is drinking from a baby bottle for the first time.
And today, she'll go home.

I was moved by the news stories and video about little Amillia and it got me thinking about baby Christians.
Am I just as concerned for baby Christians and their growth?
Do I surround them with prayer, helpful encouragement and support?
What is my role in nurturing Christians from milk, to bread, to meat?
Pray for our family as we desire to minister to Chileans and see them grow into strong reproducing Christians, being able to handle the "meat" of doctrine and truth found in the Word of God.
