By His grace God first used my spiritual blog writings connected to His Word and heart to pour into them spiritually, and then began stretching my husband and I into a new place of giving and support financially for these children to see their needs met in a more physical way. He was making us an extension of His heart and hands. By God's grace He's used us one month to supply the orphanage with food, and then later to supply them with new mattress to replace old ones that were thorny and thin and make their sleep more comfortable. We've been able to supply them with mosquito nets to cover their beds and blankets to keep them warm and protected from the elements as the seasons bring these changes. My prayers through all this were that they would feel God's LOVE, His protection and provision as they grow in their understanding of their identity as children of the King, and that they would experience His presence in their dwelling and abiding in the secret place of the Most High as spoken of in Psalms 91.
The children are excited and happy for the way God is changing their lives through His love and support. They are truly feeling and seeing His love poured out upon them through this ministry of giving as it is connected to the hand and heart of God. Through the "Go Fund Me" account that the Lord led me to set up He is using the Body of Christ to reach out with their hands and hearts to help in this ministry support as well, and for this I praise God. We ARE His Body, and He receives all the Glory!
This is indeed a calling from God to serve these children. This orphanage has been established for two years and supported by the tithes and offerings of a small congregation of believers in the Kisii church along with other "well wishers". So as the Lord has brought us alongside to pour into their lives, I ask you to pray about this to see if the Lord would so lead you to donate and support these children and this orphanage as well in a small or large way to help get them education, food, clothing as well as other basic needs that will arise. In doing so I know you will be eternally blessed as they are provided for by your heart of giving. You can't out give God. He continues to give back to you in ways that money can't buy.
Also I have found in this new leg of our journey for God's Word to be true, that "Where your treasure is there your heart will be also." (Matt 6:21), for as I sent our first seed of blessing it connected me to these children in a deeper and richer way. My heart truly followed the seed and was enlarged in my love towards them. God is doing a work of LOVE in me/us in many ways, through stretching us in our giving, in enlarging our hearts, and in connecting us to His heart of "helping the weak and the fatherless." (Ps 82:3-4)
I see this as a Kingdom orphanage full of kingdom children that He is raising up and that He has asked us AND you to be a part of. May God richly bless you as you respond to His call. (Please share with your friends and family.)
"Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
Rescue the weak and needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
(Ps 82:3-4)
"How blessed is he who considers the helpless;
the Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble.
(Ps 41;1)
The Pastor and the 14 children. Children of the King!
They were excited about
getting netting over
their beds.
"He who dwells in the secret place
of the Most High shall abide
under the shadow of the
Almighty."
Psalm 91
God will use these shoes to take
them on their path of
righteousness with Him.
Smiles on their faces from
getting their new shoes.
Every step that the sole of their
feet shall go He has given
it to them.
Joshua 1:3

worship in their Kisii church service.
