THE CHILDREN OF THE LOG CHURCH ORPHANAGE - PAGE 21

Faith Peter: Found in the street in 2017 as a 7 year-old girl, now age 12

Faith was a child of a single mother called Jane.  This woman Jane gave birth to Faith at the Nyamache Market center where she was living in a rental house. Faith stayed with her mother until the untimely death of her mother from heart attack.

The area chief of Nyamache location adopted this young girl faith to his family in the year 2015 and 2016. But due to severe mistreatment from the chief’s children, Faith made her way to the street where she struggled with life for two months before we met her during evangelism. She came to the market where we were preaching the gospel and we thought that she was insane because she was extremely dirty with worn-out clothes!! 

We later realized that she was a street girl and she came to request us that we may support her with buying her clothes and food. We were very much touched with her situation and we felt that being a girl should get a safe place to stay. Eventually, we adopted her in the orphanage.

Faith behaves very well and she is a good girl. She is thanking God for saving her from the street life and she is grateful for being provided with her needs through the donations from Pastor Donald and the Log church USA. Every day in our prayer schedule, Faith has to pray before we end the session. She has a passion to be a gospel artist, she likes singing very much.

 

Damackline Ongwano: Found in the street in 2028 as a 9 year-old girl, now age 13

Damackline’s grandmother was not married, but had a one child known as Nyakerario (the mother of Damackline). When Nyakerario was grown, she got married, but years later her husband died.

The family of Nyakerario’s husband did not recognize Nyakerario and her  daughter Damakline because as it turned out, Nyakerario had been a second wife to him. But Nyakerario did not know of her co-wife until the death of the husband since the first wife lived some distance away.

Nyakerario and her daughter Damackline were not accepted to be part of the polygamous family and they were denied this right and access to this family.

The distraught Nyakerario left her daughter on the street in the year 2016 and disappeared. Until this time, she her whereabouts is unknown.

We met Damackline in the streets in the year 2017, being miserable. Her health was deteriorating because of street challenges. After evangelism we came back home leaving Damackline in the street, but two days later we meet as church leaders and revisited this girl in the street. We went with some food and clothes and by good luck we met her.

She was very much excited to see us, and she ran from a distance to greet us. That day we made up our minds to include Damackline in the orphanage and trusted God to strengthen her health.

She is now very okay by the grace of God. Damackline is extremely thankful for protection and care she receives through Pastor Donald and the church of Kenya. Damackline always refers the orphanage as “wonderful home.” God bless pastor Donald and log church for your generous support to our orphanage Kenya. She has a desire to be a gospel artist after school.
