Imagine
You’re all alone. Your mother has died. Your father has died. Your relatives can’t take you in. You have no home. You have no job because you haven’t finished school. You have no money to your name because family members have taken it all. You turn 23 today.
Imagine
If you trusted Jesus in the midst of everything and he provided miraculously. He gave you people to take care of you, and a family to take you in as their own. You get a place to stay and finances to go to school. You can pursue a career as a doctor and have a family of your own someday.
Imagine
Not being bitter, angry and cynical but instead forgiving, full of joy and hope. You believe the Jesus of the Bible and that He cares for you more than you know. Your circumstances don’t determine His love for you. He’s always loved you and you love Him back.
Imagine
You’re not just another orphan. Just another number to society or drop in the bucket. You have a name. You have a story. You have a struggle and you have a dream. You are Benard Kwoba, and you’re a child of God. He tells you that He’s a father to the fatherless and will never forsake you. You want this Jesus that carries your burdens, heals your wounds and sets you free. You are no longer an orphan, nameless, without hope or a future. You are adopted into the family of God and your life matters. You matter, and your God’s masterpiece.
In Matthew chapter 25 v. 35-36 where Jesus says, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” To our team this month, Benard is the stranger, the one in need and the orphan to look after. We want to help him go to school this next term. We’re asking anyone to contribute anything they can. He’s such a bright, ambitious and gentle young man and we have the opportunity to bless him.
God is showing us what true religion is, “Religion that God our father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” (James 1: 27). Please join us in prayer for his life, that God would use us as a miracle in it.
Details:
In order for this to take place, we are trusting in God and His faithfulness, and you as His stewards. We are a team of seven, and have taken on Benard as our child. We feel God has called us to provide for him over these next two years. If we divide the needs between our team members, it requires that each of us raise $90. This amount will provide Benard with tuition for the next two terms, a home to live in, a bed to sleep on, utensils to eat with, uniforms to wear, books to study, and daily meals. This is such a small cost when many of us look at our lives back home. To live off of $630 for two years, how can we not be there to help him. We trust that God will provide these means, and that your heart will be opened as ours was. We are leaving Kitale in 8 days, and are praying endlessly that this can be pulled off. We will be buying uniforms and books this Friday (2/19/10), and if all goes as we hope, we will be going with Benard next week (2/22/10) to sign off on the home. When we leave Kenya, Team Mosiac will officially be the appointed guardian of Benard Kwoba. So please, would you step out in faith with us as we serve this world as He has called.
