Why Orphans & Why Kenya?

AIDS is spreading rampantly through-out much of sub-Saharan Africa, and children are left as orphans as a result. Many of these children have no one to care for them, and they end up in the streets scavenging for food and shelter. God has called us out to go to Kenya, East Africa to not only meet the physical and emotional needs of some of these children, but also to share with them the gospel of Jesus Christ and to equip them to be pro-ductive citizens of Kenya and the Kingdom of God.

Kenya is a strategic location because it affords us relative stability in a part of the world that is fraught with disease,
war, famine, and poverty. Refugees from Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia seek relief in neighboring Kenya. It is our desire to minister not only to Kenyan orphans, but also to many of these refugee children, some of whom are orphaned or abandoned.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)

We believe God will allow us to minister to Kenyan widows by employing them to help care for the orphans. Pray that we will keep ourselves from being polluted by the world!
