MISSIONS PROJECT FOR KENYA ORPHANS
As we continue caring for the 38 orphans we partnered with this year for Christmas, we are launching a new ongoing fund specifically dedicated to providing their monthly meals. It costs just $40 a month to feed one child. Your generosity will make a direct impact, helping ensure that every child receives the nourishment they need each day. Donations can be made online, through our app, or by leaving check/cash in the tithe boxes. Please make sure to designate funds towards “Meals for Kenya.”
