Pastor Lorine Ayodo of Jehovah Saints Church, Migori County, Kenya, Reports:
1. The Situation
There are widows in the village who do not have houses and are forced to sleep on the streets with their children.
Many homeless people are in desperate need of shelter and support.
Some of these individuals are currently staying in the church, as they have no other place to go.
A specific lady in the community is highlighted as being in critical need, with no shelter at all.
2. The Request
Pastor Lorine is requesting support to build a shelter for the widows and homeless people in the village.
The shelter would provide a safe place for these individuals to stay and would be a significant step toward improving their living conditions.
The church is praying for help to reach those in need within their community.
3. Biblical Support
The request aligns with biblical teachings about helping the poor, homeless, and widows. Below are scriptures that emphasize the importance of such work:
