Woman Credits God’s Timing for Rescue of Abandoned Baby

July 25, 2020 by Staff

(ChurchLeaders) Thanks to what she calls God’s perfect timing, a woman walking her dog last week in Wilmington, North Carolina, helped avert a tragedy. Due to hot pavement, Cynthia Burton took a shortcut behind Christ Community Church. After hearing cries from a trash bin in the church’s parking lot, she discovered a bloody newborn inside a tied garbage bag.

Before paramedics arrived, Burton and a nearby resident removed the umbilical cord from the abandoned baby’s neck and sang “Jesus Loves Me” to him. Police later reported the infant was healthy and doing well. After a brief search for the mother, a 21-year-old woman was arrested and charged with attempted murder.
