I take this opportunity to thank Global Orphan Relief ministry for the Conference they brought in our estate in Dandora on 26th March 2022, on how the Church can go back to James 1:27 and start to care for the Orphans, the Destitute, and Vulnerable children.
I also thank the Great Commandment Workshop (GCW) Director Minister Isaiah Kimani who encouraged the Church and Ministry Leaders to start focusing the Religion of Caring for Orphans and the Poor Children among us.
This was an answered prayer I had made before God in 2002, but I had no know-how skills.
Since the Director came to Dandora, we visited several areas and also began programs to care for the Orphans and the Destitute Children in the following areas of impact:
In Dandora Estate we began Home-care ministry for five Orphans.
In Zimaman Estate we visited an Orphans children ministry and provide 18 of these children with food.
In Kitui, which is a rural area east of Nairobi, we met a group of Women’s in the local church, who are Serving Orphans with Home-care ministry and encouraged them in their work. We are planning to supply the Children with drinking Water.
We also visited a home of Orphans in Ruai Estate after the workshop and we blessed them with finances through the home Director.
I have been feeding two children with lunch in a Village called Njiru on my own account, but we are planning to feed five children every Wednesday starting with the first week in June.
We are appealing to all those involved with Global Orphan Relief and their Church Mobilization effort to continue praying for us because we are trusting God to start feeding programme in Njiru Village for the need is very great.
Praise the Lord!

Church Mobilization is our newest initiative launched in February 2022. We are currently working with local area churches to co-host Great Commandment Workshops where we bring together multiple subject matter experts to discuss the why and how to serve the poor generally, and orphan children specifically. We will track the impact of children served through this effort to justify continued investment; however, we have no plans to be funding the care of children through this initiative.
Beyond the financial commitment of the workshops, this effort is to be indigenous, self-propagating, and self-supporting. Our objective is to engage local churches to expand our GO! network, mobilize the church body to serve orphaned children, and to advance the Kingdom through demonstrating the Gospel to others. Through these workshops we are:

He is leading in championing the rights, interests, and well-being of orphan children by deploying the local Church to be more focused on serving orphaned children in their communities.
