Giving Regular Support To Kenyan Orphans

By Marcie Goodman


The number of children who have no mothers and fathers in Kenya currently is more than the actual figure about five year back. A large number of Kenyan Orphans are neglected, abused and abandoned and this is actually something that has made most of them lose hope for the future. The question that most believers are seeking answers to is not whether to help these children but how to do exactly that.

There are actually ways to give support to these children for those who are wondering how to do that. However, you must have a heart and willingness to take part in the ministry, which has the potential to change the lives of forgotten children and needy families. Below are few ideas that can help you know how you can offer your support.

Always pray for children in foster homes remembering that they will go to bed and wake up the following day without knowing where they belong. You should ask God to meet them at the point of their needs and provide them with a family they can rely on for the rest of their lives. Ask God to place these children in the hands of the right families, families that can love and take good care of them.

Give a donation to those who are doing the good work of helping children who have no parents. In fact, there are charity organizations in Kenya, which look into the lives of children who have no parents. They take care of them by giving them food, clothing, shelter and an education. When you give a contribution, it will help a child to live on to the next day, month and years.

You need to be a welcoming Christian, just as Jesus Himself was. Remember that God has opened his heart to helping the fatherless and He wants you and your home and church to do the same thing as well. It would be great if you created a climate in your home and church, which makes children without parents to feel welcome.

It is not always going to be easy for people to take care of children who are not their own. It rather needs constant prayer and dedication because this is work done from the heart. You have to take the chance to encourage foster families to keep taking care of the children because they are helping in the work of God, especially in the preservation of his creation.

If you are going to adopt a child, make sure you ask for directions from God. It is not easy to take in a child in your home if you are not sure you are going to take care of them. Even if you are still sure you can, pray about it.

If you have the grace, consider adopting some Kenyan Orphans and give them the moral and life support that they need. It is obvious that not every person has a calling to adopt, but some are and are god at taking care of the children. Ask God to let you know if He is calling you to do so and make sure to follow his steps.
