"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27

Our visit to Kasarani.

Anna and I went with our friends to visit an orphan home in Kasarani, a community outside Nairobi. It was a great day for us. We had tea in George and Jackie’s home with children in our laps. George is a pastor of two churches in the slums where he sees people starving and children in desperate situations. This Kenyan couple have answered God’s call to care for orphans. They are providing a family for 10 children, nine who come from the slums. With limited resources, they trust God daily for the needs of the children. George shares with us how God has always provided as they have stepped out in faith to care for the helpless. God has used George and Jackie to rescue these children. To hear these children’s stories and to see them now in a christian family brings great joy.

Here are photos of Anna with some of the children.

One photo is of me and Jackie the mother of these ten children.

What are the beautiful things in this BLOG? The faith, the hearts, the giving, the orphans, the love, the pictures, the words. Thank you so much for sharing and my prayers are with you.

el shaddai
god you're almighty

jehova jirah
lord you're my provider

el shalom
god of peace

jehove nissi
lord you're my banner

These are some lyrics to a song that God gave me comfort through.

God bless!
