The Prospering Christians are holding an event in Newport, Rhode Island to benefit the orphans and widows in Kenya. The Children’s Christmas Gala will be held on December 13, 2009 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the George Martin Recreation Center, 35 Golden Hill Street, Newport, RI. Children will make angels, decorate cookies, sing Christmas Carols, design Christmas Cards and write to pen pals which they will choose on the day of this event. Donations are accepted and donors receive free advertising on my website. Parents can choose to sponsor a child for $30.00 per month.

This is a joint effort with Johnstone Sikulu Wajala of the SIMA Communitty Based Organization and Apostle George Morara Onsarigo of the in Kitali, Kenya where 185 orphans and many widows receiving help. The African country of Kenya has suffered from the devastating HIV/AIDS virus. The proceeds will be used to provide food, shelter, and clothing for the orphans through both of these organizations.

The Prospering Christians currently has over 400 members and we welcome more as we minister to the orphans and widows. Join us on Face Book and invite your friends and family. Maybe we will see you in Newport at the event.

The Lord calls us to “oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt.” He then promises, “then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.” (Jeremiah 7:6,7 KJV). That’s a long time! We can follow this command by using our gifts to further this cause. Some may not be called to personally visit the orphans and widows, but we can do thisngs from afar to help give them a better life.

For instance, you can encourage your employer to donate to the cause, offer prayers for the widows and orphans, or encourage your children to be a pen pal to the orphans. This will develop their character and let the orphans know that someone cares. There are 185 orphans who would like to receive a pen pal that they can write to and receive letters as well. I encourage you to pray and ask the Lord how he wants you to be involved.

You can participate in one of four ways:

1. You can make a donation by writing out a check to Johnstone Sikulu Wanjala, Program Coordinator, Sima Community Based Organization
