The Final Sprint
Dear Brethrens
I greet you in the name of almighty Father trusting that you are doing well under His tender care. Thank you for yourwebsite and I welcome you to any help that you may offer to us . I am Vincent Momanyi Kenanda from Africa, ministering to people and proclaiming the three angles message of Rev 14:6-12 and healthy message. I can see that many people are thirsting for the present truth, which is the last warning to the world.
I thank God for the wonderful opportunity He has provided for me to share it with you about what we are doing about His cause. We’ve (43) total orphans whom we are taking care of, it was not my own wish to start a home but after I read the whole of the 58 chapter of Isaiah my heart was fully touched with the message I prayed and asked, God to assist me with His special work of caring the orphans who are left behind due to HIV/AIDS, We also help youths, widows, care givers who are very old in age and PLWHA’s.
Before l had taken them in, friends, they were in total mess, in deep suffering. They were hardly getting one meal a day, they had nobody to look after them, some had no shelter at all but now I and my Christian Team Group, we are struggling very hard to see that they get at least better life than before, we also offer morning and evening worship for spiritual growth.
Since we started taking in children we have had numberless coming in for help until we have no place to a accommodate them and many of them have gone a way hopeless because we have limited means of helping many of them whom are seeking for our help. Because we don’t have enough accommodation for them but they are on waiting list. Out of the 43 we are helping 4 children are sharing one bed because we have a very strait place to accommodate them in the houses we have rented but when the rental period expires we have no means to sustain the orphans!!!
The followers of Christ are to labor as He did. We are to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and comfort the suffering and afflicted. We are to minister to the despairing, and inspire the hopeless. And to us also the promise will be fulfilled “Thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of the Lord shall be Thy rear ward”
Good deeds are the fruit that Christ requires us to bear, kind words needs of belovelence of tender regard for the poor the needy the afflicted. The Father from His throne beholds those who do those acts of mercy and numbers them with His most precious treasurers.Proverbs 23:10, James 1:27, Romans 12:6-8, John 15:13, Psalms 10:17-18, Psalms 90:17,17 John6:9, John14:18, Songs of Songs 8:8, Deuteronomy26:12.
I am appealing to all well wishes to this work of His own appointment to support us with food, clothing and accommodation for the orphans. The number of orphans is increasing rapidly. It’s my humble prayer to all well wishers to promote and support His work so that we can be in a position of assisting many orphans who are seriously suffering.
Christ regards all acts of mercy, benevolence and thoughtful consideration for the unfortunate and the orphans as done to himself, and this work are reserved in the heavenly record and will be rewarded.
May God bless you as you prepare to consider our humble request for granting and help.
In Christ love,
I hope to hear from you.
Yours Faithfully
