Today we visited one of our newest feeding stations at Adingo Kingsway. This is a small rural church in the same valley as Dirubi, Lee McGraw and Adingo Opanga, but this one is under the supervision of Tobias Olweny. Tobias is my age, so he’s the oldest of our group of directors. He oversees Ongoro Orphanage and still serves as a WBS worker.
The place looks really good. He has constructed a nice kitchen, individual rooms for the two widows, plus room for two more in the event we convert this to an orphanage in the future. There is a nice choo, (if there is such a thing) and the original church is serving as the dining hall for now, though it is a bit small.
The church turned out to meet us in good numbers, which is a good sign. This church membership is quite a bit older than most, with a high proportion of aged widows. After we started sending money for feeding the orphans, the church has turned their attention to the widows, which is exactly what we want to happen. They are providing meals for 10 of them here, all of which came to greet me.
We stayed for a while and spoke to all the kids and the church. I encouraged them to continue the good work, and thanked them for their service to the Kingdom. By 3pm we were back on the road to Ongoro.
Arriving here, all the kids in the primary school across the street were chanting Tim! Tim! Almost half of them are from the orphanage, so they know me well. I decided to crash their party and went over to greet them. They decided to gather them all into the church building for a chance to sing for us and hear a greeting from us. It was really cool.
Tonight, I’ll share a meal at Tobias house and then join the orphans for their evening devotional. Be Blessed!
