I am saddened today beyond measure. Not for me, I live in the good ole U.S of A. and and pretty much not in need of anything. I have plenty of food, a modest home, vehicles to drive and a loving Christian family. I’m doing OK. But my friends in Africa…that’s another story.
Sure they got the basic things of life with only one little catch. Their home consists of 29 people and one dog that I now of. This doesn’t including the occasional visiting monkey or other animals.
I have the honor of distributing the funds from donors to Johnny & Kate Brooks that come from folks who support their work with orphans, widows and the destitute in Kenya East Africa.
Here is what saddens and I might add maddens me to an extent. In the month of September they did more real ministry and displayed the character of Jesus more than any “church” I know of. They are struggling…wanna know why? Glad you asked!!! It seems heavens economy is in recession. I say that because only ONE “church” supported the work in September. By the way this group of people faithfully, consistently supports the work on a monthly basis. The other donors, all eight of them, gave all they could. This group of nine donors gave, (through our U.S. mailing address), a total of $1,407.60.
That is less than MOST pastors here in the U.S. would be paid for doing their job. Let’s see….taking care of widows and orphans, feeding the starving, educating the young and most of all letting the world see a true picture of what Jesus looks like on earth today. As they on a popular American television show says…..America has voted. They results of our votes are going to pay off, you can count on it.
If you can, will help what we are doing send donations of any amount to:
