Lawakhakha, Kenya
The Remnant Afire Inc. team, partnered with the Truth Evangelistic Missions Outreach (Pastor Anthony Omara) to travel to Kenya for an outreach mission. As a result we were drawn to a one-time project that would bless each of three widows groups. The project began when we asked them what their biggest challenge was and how could we be a part of the answer for them besides to pray.
Their answer was, “We are lonely. We need fellowship and a purpose that we can matter in God’s Kingdom.”
Out of this request came the following project from Pastor Athony Omara. Buy chairs that the ladies can rent for a business. This would provide many things: Income for their families, training in running a business successfully, and fellowship as they worked together. We requested that, not only would they fellowship together as they worked, but also have two special times together to worship and pray each month. We also asked the pastors to include them in their worship, greeting, and prayer teams. The pastors are doing wonderfully in encouraging this element and are not just blessing their widows, but are sharing with other churches so this idea of blessing widows can grow.
