Pastor James Otieno and I are starting up a “Rehabilitation Of Destitute Kenyan Single Mothers mission”. Many women have been deserted in pregnancy. Others have lost husbands due to sickness caused by poverty, water pollution and other causes. Especially for those who have recently come to faith in Christ we have a dream. It is our dream to keep them from sickness, starvation and the ever present temptation of prostitution due to extreme poverty. We are looking together for God to provide work of them in a community/ Christian fellowship environment.
With the single mothers program we are Intending to help those who have come to faith in Christ by giving training in employment skills. After training they will be able to earn a living, be a powerful witness to God’s mercy and care while being of help to the community. Out of 20 ladies Pastor James has identified 8 very needy ones for training and urgent action. All these ladies suffered much in their lives, for instance, Dorothy a single mother of three girls, (See her in Gallery below). Her parents died while she was only seven years old. Because of poverty she could not get to school and at the age of 15yrs she got pregnant for her first baby. Now she’s 19yrs and living in this house with three girls.
Pastor James says ” I reached these ladies with Gospel of Christ and they gave their lives to Jesus. The six previously were working as brewers of illicit liquor in the village and had many problems with authorities of the land. They also practised commercial sex and lived indecent lives before their kids. Now because they quit the illicit liquor business they are struggling and I fear they can go back to the old life if they don’t get something to do.” But we are all sinners and we thank God that these women have been radically changed , have a NEW POWER to live a noble life and are now as pure virgins in God’s eyes.
