RAFIKI CHILDREN`S HOME

THE VIEW OF RAFIKI CHILDREN`S HOME It is now two years since when Rafiki Children`s Home was started in the year 2007 . Most of these Children are from the Streets and some are orphans and also Vulnerable. The Home is situated in Olympic in Kibera Nairobi. The Home was started by by Pastor Mike and his wife Matroba with Sister Ann Jones from U.S. A. The boys have really enjoyed staying a home that cares for them in education, spiritual matters, physicall and emotionally. Washington Ochieng the boy you can see just sitting on the bed, was taken from the streets of Nairobi. The boy was so frustrated and had no hope of living. He saw life as meaningless. He never wanted to see even his own parents and even his brothers and sisters or go to school. Oching comes from a family of seven, his mother died when he was still young. His father managed to marry another wife who later mistreated him. The boy went to the street. I just got him on the street when I was doing door to door evangelism. The boy never wanted to come with me as he thought that I could have mistreated him just like his parents. "Oching, do you know I was just the way you are" I said to him. My Mother died when I was one and a half years. Praise God Ochieng has accepted to forgive his parents and also ready to go to school. I have stayed with him for two years. He is a saved boy and co operative and humble boy. Please you may donate or sponsor a child or send any kind of a gift to these precious Children of God. They need education, food, beds, sheets, blankets, shoes, and clothes and your prayers. Pastor Mike

RAFIKI CHILDREN`S HOME

THE END OF YEAR 2008 CHILDREN`S TOUR Rafiki Children`s Home will never forget the tour they had by the end of the year 2008. I could hear children recalling how joyful they were when they toured one of the historical garden in the republic of Kenya. I hope this will be so educative to them. It was a very good moment for the children who are orphans, and also from the streets being recognized in their lives. They had just closed their school for December holidays which could last for a month. Pastor Mike, Matroba, Lawrence and Milly who is the social worker had just made some arrangements of transport and lunch for the children. Children enjoyed so much in learning the historical event of Kenya especial how we got independent and the raising of the flag in Uhuru garden. They also had so many activities. They have promised to write a composing on how they enjoyed the December holiday 2008. Pastor Mike

RAFIKI CHILDREN`S HOME

BOYS FROM THE STREET TO A HOME Well done boys!!. These are boys from Joseph Kang`ethe Rescue Centre. It is now one year since Friends of Jesus Ministries visited the rescue centre for the boys. We managed to take three boys in the above picture. James Esau being one of them. In our home, boys really changed both morally and physically. We took them to one of the Government school, though it was hard for them to copy with the Education since they had been out from school for many years. The boys have improved a lot and they don`t think going back to the street a gain. We managed to take two of the boys to their home. We feel so happy as we see them living with their family. Rafiki Children`s Home appreciate the good co operation that they have with the parents and guardian or relatives of the children we have.We have been able to move to this extend because of their involvement, in prayers, and support . We would also appreciate the support we had from well wishers and through God`s guidance we can!!. Please continue praying for our home. Would you like to be part of this program? Join by sending whatever gift you have for these children. You may either sponsor one in education. Please write to us by email shown, God bless you. Pastor Mike

Felistas comes from Migori District, Nyanza Province, the country Kenya in Mukuyu village. Many had deserted her, she had no hope at all, some said she was bewitched , but now you can see what God has done for her.She is so health, beautiful and joyful. Her treatment would have costed her the all of her plot in Mukuyu village. Thank God for the missionaries who came through Friends of Jesus Ministries. They were able to raise money for her surgery in Karen Hospital. Felistas has been blessed by God, she now has a baby girl by the name Jenea.
