Church Mobilization 2.0

To date we have co-hosted 20 Great Commandment Workshops in Asia, Kenya, and Zambia in our effort to mobilize the local church to serve orphan children in their communities. A total of 3,699 ministry leaders have attended one of these workshops.

Results have mostly exceeded expectations. We have been encouraged by the attendees, and then again as we follow-up with GO! Ambassadors to monitor their progress. The question that I have been asking since earlier this year, is what does Church Mobilization 2.0 look like?

We were able to reach 5,860 orphan children with some level of care or impact in June. These children were served in Asia, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Zambia through our field partners and GO! Ambassador Network. We have experienced a 102% growth in the number of children impacted across our initiatives over 2022 (January-June).

August is typically our low point for resources during the year, but the needs of children continue.

2023 Kakamega

One of the Great Commandment Workshops we held in May was in a place called Kakamega, Kenya, and was attended by 318 local area ministry leaders. It was a wonderful day and a precious time of fellowship.

That was the day I met Dadius

Distribution of food and other aid occurred last month in Punjab for eleven widow-led households, providing for forty orphan children.

As part of our Orphans & Widows partnership in Pakistan, these families receive aid needed to stay together in one household, rather than the children being separated from their mother and placed in an orphanage or in some other distant relative’s home. These families experience challenges that are beyond our understanding.

We are about to throw a party and we want you to be there.

Our keynote speaker, Bishop Garang of South Sudan, will share with our guest from his experiences of serving orphan children in South Sudan.

We impacted 5,336 orphan children around the world in May with 108% growth in the number of children impacted across our initiatives over 2022.

Our growth has been moderated over the last several months based on resource limitations, but we continue to serve children efficiently while not neglecting their needs. We would appreciate your prayerful consideration to aid these precious children through the end of 2023.

April 2023 GO! Ambassador of the Month in Kenya

Pastor Kepher in his own words, shares based on his attendance of a Great Commandments Workshop in February 2022. We are encouraged by this Pastor and many other ministry leaders like him in Mombasa that are caring for orphan children in their communities.

You're invited to celebrate with us on September 24th starting at 5 PM MT as we gather to consider all that has been accomplished this past year on behalf of orphaned children through our movement. The Beautiful Child Gala will be our 8th Annual Gala event. We would very much enjoy having you join us!

Come enjoy the party and let’s see what we can do to continue in our mission to serve orphan children around the world!

I was honored to visit Momma Mary when I was in Nairobi this past may, and it was awesome to see what she has accomplished with a minimal investment.

It is not hard for us to find hungry children as we serve in hard places. I have been moved by compassion as I have looked into the eyes of a hungry child. It is impossible for me to do nothing.

Great Commandment Workshop | ZAMBIA

We have been impressed with the progress in Zambia with our Church Mobilization Initiative. The Church in Zambia is ready to walkout the scriptures in a new way. These ministry leaders are eager to serve others, and they have not disappointed. Church Mobilization is becoming a movement…

March 2023 GO! Ambassador of the Month in Kenya

Edward Njugo is a 48 years old family man with one son from Embu County. He attends ACK Kithunguri Parish in Embu County.

Reverend Edward attended a Great Commandment Workshop held in June last year at ACK St Paul Cathedral and has stepped out in obedience as a GO! Ambassador to serve orphan children.

We impacted 5,672 orphan children around the world in April with 184% growth in the number of children served across our initiatives over 2022.

This dramatic growth continues to provide resource challenges for our seventeen mission projects around the world. We have depleted our cash reserves this month to a point that if we do not receive significant funding over the next two weeks, we will have to reduce or terminate care for up to 2,600 children in the next 30-days. The resources we have today will not be enough to get us through the month of June.

We would appreciate your prayerful consideration to aid these precious children.

Romaish & Salomi continue to impress with their efforts in Punjab, Pakistan, to serve orphan children.

I am inspired by their faithfulness and their willingness to roll up their sleeves to serve orphan children in their community. They are definitely gifted, and they bless many in the process.

2023 Church Mobilization

With 10 Great Commandment Workshops this year in Asia, Kenya, and Zambia, 1,000’s of ministry leaders are now deployed to demonstrate the Gospel in their communities by serving orphan children.

Orphans & Widows were gathered in connection with Easter Sunday in Punjab, Pakistan, as part of aid distribution in April.

As part of our Orphans & Widows partnership in Pakistan, these families receive aid needed to stay together in one household, rather than the children being separated from their mother.

Isaiah Deng attends the Adoor Primary School and he shares his experience as a beneficiary of our Nutrition Initiative for the last four years.

Global Orphan Relief has been feeding children at the Adoor Primary School since 2016 and we have provided an est. 1.7 million meals to children in South Sudan.

Church Mobilization Initiative takes a big step this month.

We have commissioned 1,164 GO! Ambassadors this month in Kenya and Zambia which should impact 1,000’s of orphan children in 2023. In fact, this effort could impact for than 10,000 children by the end of the year.
