Giving Catalog + Current Events

This year we have decided to go with one major focus that will spread to all of the projects we are involved with for our Giving Catalog. A Christmas Food Blessing. The details are listed below. We hope you will join us in spreading some Christmas Cheer as we celebrate the goodness of God’s gift of seeing us and meeting us right where we are at. May we all gather around the table and give thanks, and help others to do so as well.

For many families in Western Kenya, the remote tribe of Karia Village in Pokot, the families and teachers of Saviour King Educational Center in Kibera Slum, and the Maasai in Tanzania, the daily struggle for food is a harsh reality. This Christmas, you can make a significant difference in the lives of these precious people. With just $35, you can provide a widow or vulnerable family with enough ingredients to feed their family for an entire week. This gift will help families gather around the table, celebrating the season with hope and love.

Each food bundle includes cooking oil, chapati flour, rice, corn maize, sugar, salt, beans, soap, matches, and tea. Through your generous gift, a family will not only receive essential ingredients for meals but also experience the joy of knowing that God sees them and provides for their needs. Together, we can make this Christmas a time of celebration and gratitude.

Goal: 1,000 families | Cost: $35 per family

Support Our Local Leaders in Africa: A Gift of Love and Care

In the heart of Kibera Slum, Thomas and Beatrice Omolo pour their hearts into serving over 450 children through their school, daycare, medical clinic, and various empowerment initiatives. Their dedication extends to supporting young single mothers and providing nourishment for the elderly, all while leading a vibrant church and children’s home. This remarkable family embodies selflessness and compassion, making a profound impact in their community.

Similarly, Jacinta Mukolwe, a recent widow, continues the legacy of service she shared with her late husband. She tirelessly manages ministries across Western Kenya, the Pokot region, and Arusha, Tanzania, focusing on schools, feeding programs, medical clinics, jigger clinics, home building and empowerment for widows. Each initiative she leads spreads hope and shares the love of Christ.

Despite their immense dedication to others, Thomas, Beatrice, and Jacinta often place their own needs last. We invite you to join us in blessing them with a gift of love and care. Your donation will not only support their vital work but also help ensure they receive the care and support they deserve.

Will you partner with us in making a difference? Together, we can uplift those who tirelessly uplift others. Thank you for your generosity!

Dream Team Member: Lois. | Widow’s Homes

“There was a day she (Lois) was called to go, to see, to experience and to do. She was headed to Tanzania with a team from the Pacific Northwest. They would be spending two plus weeks in this beautiful land brimming with opportunity to love and serve, working with local partners, reaching out to those who were experiencing deep pain and hardship. Lois understood pain and hardship, she was a widow. She had experienced the pain of loss and she had much love to offer.”

…

“A little over ten years later Lois would hear of another heartbreaking story of a widow from her friends, the local leaders that she had worked with earlier in Tanzania. They shared the following: “She is called Ruth, her husband died 5 years ago, when…”. A home that was crumbling, a woman who was trying to hold it together. What did Lois do? She built a home for Ruth, and she is eager to do more, the home is still in need of furnishings and a concrete floor (to eliminate the concern of jigger infestation).

…

Lois is an inspiration, she is committed to reaching out with hope by spreading awareness and by providing tangible needs. She understands that love looks like something, and she wants to see it on the move. Will you join her?

If you are interested in supporting Lois and the Pamoja Love dream, here are some options:

1. Financial Contribution: You can make a financial contribution towards the construction of homes, furnishing, or concrete floors. The costs are as follows:

   • Widow's Home: $750

   • Furnishing: $300-$500

   • Concrete Floors: $600

2. Volunteer or Spread Awareness: If you are unable to make a financial contribution, you can still support Lois by volunteering your time or skills. You can assist with fundraising efforts, help spread awareness about the cause through social media or local community events. You can simply share this opportunity with your friends.

3. You can apply to become a team member of an Outreach Trip, or the Dream Team.

By supporting Lois and her mission, you can contribute to making a positive change in the lives of those who often feel unseen and forgotten.
