A plea for Esther in Yei

When the news got to me that
Esther had adopted three month old orphaned Rebecca, I was ecstatic. I knew
this was something she’d always wanted and felt God was involved. See the story
here.

Few months ago, some wonderful friends
developed this web page to help raise funds for Esther and
Baby Rebecca to solve their accommodation problem and also start a small
business. I highlighted this in another blog –The challenge of childless widows.
 

The target is $6,000 and $300 has
so far been raised. The deadline is this month and we are still hopeful that
God will stir someone’s heart to help Esther move to a new home, start a small
business. This is an opportunity to make a difference in this woman’s life such
that she’ll be good example among widows in Yei.

Many widows in Yei resort to prostitution,
brewing and selling local alcohol to survive and take care of their
responsibilities. Esther’s story will be different. We are committed to this
and our confidence rests in God’s unfailing word and grace for women like her.
We believe she’ll be a great mum and friend to Baby Rebecca. 

What would you do if Esther was
your sister, aunt, cousin, a neighbor or just a friend? Esther is more than
these to you and I; she’s a disciple of the Lord Jesus, a member of the
greatest and largest family ever conceived.

Please kindly connect to her
life story and help. No amount you’d give will be too small to give. Feel free
to direct all enquires on Esther and Rebecca to her Pastor, Stanley LoNathan:

“What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is
this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself
from being corrupted by the world.” James 1:27
