Dear
Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
Glory to Jesus Christ!
Glory to Jesus Christ!
Glory to Him forever!
Kenya. Officially the
Republic of Kenya, is a country in Africa and a founding member of the East
African Community (EAC).
In Nyandarua County Engineer, about 90 km from
Nairobi, the capital of the country, is located the Saint Irene - Orthodox Mission Center, where I and my presbytera Triza manage this center.
We have a number of about
one hundred orphans or very poor children between the ages of 3 and 18. Needs
and poverty are very high. Living conditions are rudimentary, poverty is at
home. We are working hard with our volunteers to provide children with minimum
education, food and clothing services. We also offer children and all residents
of the area, religious services, catechism and religious education.
The love of
Christ manifests itself most alive in Orthodoxy.
Goodness, compassion, mutual
help, love of neighbor, charity and good deeds are the ingredients of this
wonderful spiritual work. All are poor, lacking the most basic living
conditions, no electricity or running water, without some basic facilities
necessary for living, without which a child in developed countries can not
actually live.
In the shift are very happy! They have found the eternal
happiness in Jesus Christ, our Lord! It's amazing! A chubby child, always hungry, dirty and thirsty, you see him with a smile on his lips all the time.The soul
happiness that comes from the cleansing of the soul, sincerity and simple
living, only multiply the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The water brings it along
with children and volunteers from a river that is a few miles away.
We transport it to the
center in plastic barrels and we use it both for food preparation and for
drinking.
The barracks of the planks
are used both for classrooms, kitchens or places of worship, where they perform
the Holy Liturgy and other Christian Misteryes. We have baptized hundreds of
children, young and less young, teaching all the Word of Truth.
Please believe me, without
your help and love, I could not do anything. According to the word of Christ
the Savior, "You can not do without Me!" I have done with Him,
through you, absolutely everything! I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I taught them to praise the
Lord in song and prayer. We pray for you our brethren in faith, and we will all
remember in our prayers! Be with your soul in our troubles and poverty! I beg
of all my heart to help me to help these little children, in whom the image of
God shines. They enjoy for very few gifts! For a cup of tea and a slice of bread,
for a hat or pair of stockings, for a cheap coat or even for a bottle of clean
water. They are not pretentious!
Today I sang all to God, I
praised Him and I glorified Him with a banging of his hands, at the urging of
the Psalmist. Their little souls were glad, but I was sad because I was
thinking that tomorrow morning I had nothing to give them to eat. But I have
great hope in Christ! It will surely help us, as it is so far!
Please join us!
