Kenya — Pastor Dennis & the Orphans

A young, devoted pastor cares for a household of orphans and a growing church — and is building a place to teach and feed them.

Minister Fredel teaches the pastor and deacons of a sister church in Kenya. Its leader, Pastor Dennis, is young, dedicated, and deeply respected among his people — a man who labors in the ministry with sincerity.

His first calling is to preach the Word. His second is the orphans: a multitude of children with no parents at home. He takes them in — he feeds them, teaches them, educates them, and covers them in the Word of God.

Sometimes the children simply do not have enough to eat. A brick church is going up by hand, and the next need is a kitchen to feed the orphans and students in their care.

I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink…

Matthew 25:35–40 · KJV
