Riches and Eternal Life

18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

19And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

21And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

22Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

23And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

24And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

26And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

27And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. 

(Luke 18:18-27)

It is much harder for rich person to enter the Kingdom of God than for a camel to go through and eye of a needle.
The power of God can save even the rich .Christ asks the rich man not only obey the commandments but also to abandon his earthly riches and follow him.
Christ loves the man and sets the high standards for his sake.
You have opportunity !!
Share your riches with orphans of St Irene Orthodox mission center and orphanage and you get a direct ticket to eternal kingdom ..especially during this season of Christmas remember the poor and the needy and God will see all your plans through.

God will bless you!

Where there is a Bishop there is a Church!

Donations plea!!

Did you know where there is a Bishop there is a Church?

He is truly the Icon of Christ on Earth.

Having known this Christ is speaking to you through our Archbishop Makarios after visiting us.

He is requesting you to continue supporting St Irene Orthodox mission orphanage by donating in our mission PayPal account found in our mission website www.stireneorthodoxm­ission.org especially now we are in political crisis in Kenya.

To sponsor a child we require your

$ daily

$7 weekly

$30 monthly

Currently I support 112 vulnerable children in the orphanage.

Kenya is suffering politically and this has made the price of goods in the shop and in market to double.

We really need you help than yesterday.

Yours in Christ, Fr Constantinos Eliud

"Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." (Matthew 5: 7).

Mercy is that outward appearance of love to the neighbor, an identification with the one in distress, the intense love of love, starting from a heart that suffers for those who, at one moment or another, are in trouble.

This feeling has its source in the love of God, which can not be conceived without the love of one's neighbor: "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?" (I John 3:17), charity is the concrete manifestation of love, the knowledge of God in concrete circumstances of life, and" the one who does not love did not know God, because God is love. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"(1 John 4: 8; 20).

The children in our mission are taught by the infant to have mercy and love the neighbor. For a little while, they donate one coin for the mission expenses, being so trained with mercy. They are aware that only being merciful, God will reward their love with other goodies.

They do not know much about God, but their love for the other brothers and sisters in the mission is burning.

In the context of the above, please all those who read these written lines and who have the opportunity to donate a small coin to these poor children, do not hesitate to make you loved by Christ! God will reward you in earnest! Let's be merciful and loving the poor man! The poor are a blessing for the rich! If those who have money and fortune do not think of the poor, then they are living in vain on this earth! After death, they will have what they have shown in this life! Lack of God's mercy towards their souls!
Brothers and sisters in Christ, help me take care of these children, and the mercy of the Lord will descend upon you! Donate a few dollars to financially support this social-philanthropic mission! 

You can easily make donations from your salary or retirement card via PayPal directly from our website: www.stireneorthodoxmission.org

Be with us in our afflictions, and the Lord will bless you with his rich gifts!

Children await your gifts with interest!

Do not disappoint them!

They trust you, that you will help them in need!

Yours in Christ,

One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed.

Dear friends, here is a photo of children who have managed to find a couple of eggs from the free range hens that live at St Irene's Mission Kenya and help to supply some of the food for the orphanage. Apart from thirty orphans that are fully dependent on Fr Constantinos and his team, there are another 90 children who also receive education, accommodation and care as they are vulnerable and their parents are unable to provide for them for a variety of reasons.

As you can see Kenyan winters are cold and from this photo and others that I have shown, you can see that the children are quite healthy and happy looking, well dressed and well loved. In order for this to continue Fr Constantinos requires regular donations towards Saint Irene's Mission as he receives no government funding or other formal financial support. Much of his time is involved in sourcing donations to feed these children and dealing with the stressors associated not only of the responsibility of their ongoing physical and spiritual care but also of the consequences of living in this constant state of poverty. Fr Constantinos has visions also of buying a couple of acres of land and erecting some purpose built dwellings one day as they are currently renting very rudimentary premises, however the immediate needs are always more pressing

Thank you very much to those who have donated and perhaps some may consider making small donations on a regular basis. It's the small steps that we continue to make on a steady basis that often enable us to reach our destinations. Perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing this fundraiser with your friends on FB.

No donation is too small and much appreciated.

Proverbs 19:17 One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed.

Good deeds will always follow you for the rest of your life

Live many years

Looking forward for your help.

Pain can be lulled with love.

"Blessed is he who considers the poor" The lord delivers on him in the day of trouble.

Do not hesitate to be with your neighbors in heavy needs and poverty.

Be merciful and you will find treasure in Heaven.

This baby broke his hand and suffered enormously.

His legal name is Brian Kuria and Christian name is Maxmus.

Our mission took care of him, we took him to the hospital, and now we take care of him. He's from a very poor family, with many brothers. His parents had no financial means to take him to the hospital. Now we are glad that the little one is medically treated and we are waiting for the healing of Christ the Lord!

Join us and help us take care of these Christian souls by donating a little financial help to our mission.

As the academic terms kicks off, please consider donating in our PayPal account in our website www.stireneorthodoxm­ission.org and you will receive much blessings.

A child spends
1$ daily
7$ weekly
30$ monthly

Good deeds will always follow you for the rest of your life

Live many years

Looking forward for your help.
