James 1:27 The Christian who is pure and without fault, from God the Father's point of view, is the one who takes care of orphans and widows, and who remains true to the Lord--not soiled and dirtied by his contacts with the world.
We have located a new type of Widow and Orphan in our American Culture:
The Divorced woman and abandoned Children, Fatherless and husbandless without any assistance. If they go to the Government, they take what money they do have coming in from them, and keep them bound to the Government forever. Not Good! We have found that if the church in America does overseas then we could help some of these people. Create a fund just for these type4 of situations not to become their only provider but to assist them until they can walk on their own.
Let me give you an illustration: A situation arose with a divorced woman with 4 kids, She is faithful to God and her church before the church got involved with her personal life. She was kicked out of a family members house because the spouse could not handle the lifestyle of all these kids. She has a job , but it does not pay well, she has some child support but not enough, With all she has she can pay 60% of the rent, 75% of utilities, and most of the food bill (with the help of food banks). The church and people of the church committed to cover the extra 40% of the rent, 25%of the utilities and help resource food. For under $400 per month a family stays together, lives in their own place and eat. Because the local church does it's work
As you have guessed it is us doing this thing So we decided to let you get involved.... You can give $ any amount per month to the James 127 fund and it will assist this situation and allow us the ability to do more. We hope someday to have a house that we can place families in for a period of time to get on their feet and gain confidence in God and themselves to make it on their own.
You can help; here in America we have widows and orphans!
We have also linked up with "I am here for you
ministries" who is working with widows and Orphans in Olive Branch Mission in
Nairobi, Kenya. This ministry gives these Key chains and luggage tags as a
sign of witness as you travel. Hopefully our relationship is this area
