IMPORTANT DATES IN FEBRUARY 2019

The Widow’s Voices, Homa Bay KenyaWe have recently established a new mission partnership with an organization called Echoes of Mercy (EOM) in Homa Bay, Kenya. EOM is at work in many ways to minister and serve the people of Kenya and to further the gospel among the people of Homa Bay County and the surrounding areas. One of the ways we have been involved in this ministry is through financial support for The Widow’s Voices (TWV). Here is a report on their work from Betty Saida: Director of TWV.

Greetings in Jesus Name. God has been so faithful to us throughout the year by providing the resources we need to run this ministry. We focus on four main needs: evangelism/discipleship; food distribution; economic empowerment; and shelter support.

• The ministry has in place weekly Bible studies, monthly prayer meetings, and annual conferences. This gives the opportunity to study the word of God and bring growth to the kingdom.

• Because of widows’ vulnerability, there’s monthly food distribution. Each woman receives food worth $3.57. This is enough for only 3 days, but it means a lot to them.

• As part of its mission, TWV has embarked on economic empowerment programs for widows in dire need. Equipping them for the market has the potential of long term success, restoration of dignity and self confidence, hence being able to feed themselves and their children.

• Shelter is a basic human need. Lack of shelter means the widow and her children are open to both emotional and physical abuse. Therefore provision of shelter gives the widow and her children security as well as protection from harsh weather conditions.

Through the objectives, more than 500 widows have been reached through evangelism and discipleship; 107 widows are under monthly food distribution; funds have been distributed to 50 women who are out on the market doing businesses to support their families; and 15 shelters have been built and some repaired.
