Ruth Orlale, herself a widow and the Assistant Director of Ebenezer Life Center in Kenya shares how – with the Word of God and some partners – her team cares for widows and nearly 1,000 vulnerable children. “As a widow, you are treated as a foreigner; dispossessed and disinherited. We begin to talk about the Word of God and this brings back self-esteem, and we help them with meaning in life by involving them in working and microfinance.” “We teach children how to read and interpret the Word of God for themselves.” “Yes, it is possible for those who believe in God. We have seen the Lord raise widows from sick beds to be beautiful women again. We have seen children go from vulnerable situations to be men and women who are now getting married. This is a miracle.”
