Kenya Orphans Struggles & Hope

On this Good Friday, I am humbled with this ministry. I feel God is intrusting us, to love HIS very special children. As I was looking at our website today, I noticed something at the top of the page that you get when you hit "news". This was taken at an orphan feed. Well you will notice the precious little girl on the far right, is trying to carefully put some of her precious maize and beans she has just been given into a plastic bag. Why you say, would she do such a thing when she probably has not had protein all week, and is finally gifted it from the Mothers Union at this church? Because this little unselfish girl is taking it home to share with the rest of her family. Maybe there were young siblings who could not make the 2 mile walk each way to the church. Or maybe they are sickly. Or maybe she is taking care of her guardian. Often these young children care for their ailing guardians as they are sick themselves. Some care for them until they die.

So that is the answer to that "why" question. Maybe it is a hard one to hear. Maybe it humbles us once again how we with so much, sometimes "hoard" and do not share because we need to "save it for latter for us".

Dear God, bless these precious children. Show us the right way to do YOUR ministry every day of the year. Help us to be your loving ARMS faithfully as we walk this walk, and share this walk, with these your very precious children! In Jesus name, AMEN!
