Kinexxus Workers Make A Difference!
I love it when God allows me to drop in on the ministries of
Kinexxus workers across the world. One of those workers, Rochelle, is a young
community development worker sent by a Texas church to live and serve among the
people of Sierra Leone. Although she
attended high school and college in the U.S., Rochelle is Zimbabwean by
heritage and feels very much “at home” among Sierra Leoneans. I recently dropped in on a community where
Rochelle led a community development project among war widows. Huddled within small shelters made of mud,
tin and tarps, these war widows are among the poorest of the poorest of the poor in Sierra Leone. Makeshift shelters that once
comprised a refugee camp have become the permanent homes of these impoverished
women. With a long and heavy rainy
season, the worn and torn roofs of the little shelters are full of gaping holes
that allow water to pour into the dark rooms of their houses. With no way to protect themselves from the
elements, the women and children in these households have suffered for years
from sickness, sleep deprivation and the discomfort of being cold and wet for
months on end. Imagine the joyful song
and dance that followed the application of sturdy tarps over the roofs of the
women. “I can now sleep!” they sang out
as I wandered through the maze of huts, collecting children in train. Like a joyful parade, the residents of the
community expressed their gratitude for all Rochelle had done in working
alongside them to utilize tarps and funds donated by a partner organization. “Our children will be well!” they shouted to
me as they rushed to greet me with open arms.
Kinexxus assists churches in placing workers among lost and
needy communities across the world.
This
primarily Muslim community has experienced the love of Christ through
Rochelle’s life and light among them. You
