CHILDREN OF THE LOG CHURCH ORPHANAGE - PAGE 12

Violet Momanyi, 13 year-old girl found in the street in 2018

Violet ‘s mother was a Congolese (citizen of Congo). Her name was Naom. She escaped violence in the Democratic republic of Congo and they were brought as refuges to our country Kenya with her daughter Violet at the age of 4 years. Naom started a new life in Ogembo town. She was employed in a cyber café where she earned her living to feed and educate her daughter Violet.

But it was the year 2017 December when Naom the mother of Violet went missing! She went out for job but never returned to the rental house where they lived. Violet stayed alone in that rental house for three months until the end of February without her mother coming back. The rent was accumulating and the landlord wanted Violet to vacate the room. Violet was being supplied with food by good Samaritans, but rent became a great problem.

Violet was desperate now and by the fact of being homeless she went to the street to live. She tried to continue in school, but her attendance was not regular, and school fees were a challenge! When we were moving around doing house to house evangelism, we learned of her story and everyone was moved to hear that Violet wants to attend school despite her challenge with street life!!

After prayer, I pastor Joel was encouraged by the Holy Spirit to adopt Violet into the orphanage. We took her to school and she is a bright girl in form one now, she speaks our language Ekegusii very fluently and she is delighted to live with other kids in the orphanage.

Violet is thankful to Pastor Donald for love and support he sends to Log Orphanage Kenya where she is also involved .She sings very well in junior choir and she wants to be a gospel artist after school. God bless Log Church USA, Pastor Donald, Vivian and all the friends who give their donations to help us have food, cloths, education and medication here in the orphanage.


David Michieka, 13 year-old boy found in the street in 2017

David’s mother was known as Norah. She was a street woman and she gave birth to David while in the street at Nyabisiongoro. She later died in the year 2015 from tuberculosis and was buried in the cemetery.

When the mother of David died other street kids started mistreating David terribly. He could be beaten or he could be ignored completely. This boy became miserable until one morning he decided to kill himself by taking poison. But by good luck one of our ministers known as Pius Orina met him in the terrible situation and helped him by taking him to Omorembe hospital whereby he recovered.

Pius was moved to share with us about this story of David and how we could save his life from the hostile street environment and discrimination. We accepted to adopt this boy David and now David is appreciating God for connecting us to rescue his life.

David always give thanks to log church U.S.A through Pastor Donald and pastor Joel for support and help. This boy likes playing key board and he has an ambition of becoming a gospel musician. Let God remember and faithfully reward all well-wishers and all those who contribute their money to help us in the orphanage.
