Orphan Ministry Project

One of the projects that we believe God wants us to be a part of is helping orphans and widows.  We have several families that have been saved, were faithful members who have died, and they have now left several widows and orphans that urgently need assistance.

We are currently on furlough.  We are visiting our supporting churches, and we are trying to get in a few new ones to raise new support for our Ministry Work Funds.  One of the projects that we believe God wants us to be a part of is helping orphans and widows.  We have several families that have been saved, were faithful members who have died, and they have now left several widows and orphans that urgently need assistance.  The 18 churches and several preaching points that we have started are scattered throughout the villages in the southwestern part of Kenya near Lake Victoria.  Most of this area is the breeding ground for the worst kinds of malaria, fastest spreading of AIDS, and the life span of most of the area is only 35 years old.

We are starting this program to first help the members of our local church congregations that seriously need help, and then we want to reach out into the community to give hope to the many orphans who are ostracized in the community because of the growing poverty.  The workers and volunteers will be members of our churches under the leadership of the local pastor of their church, who will be coordinating all efforts with us.  We will deliver the needed supplies to each church, and then through combined efforts, we will”...visit the fatherless and widows…” in the church and community, as the Lord provides the funds.

Right now we need $300 monthly for this ministry (this amount will help 20 orphans each month).  Our goal is to have it ready to be started in January 2011, when we return to Kenya.

-You can help through your continued prayers for our ministry and this project.
-You can set aside special offerings to be given through your local church.
-A church can set aside VBS offerings for this need.
-And a church could take on this project as a separate mission project for monthly support.
