The church is stepping up to care for society’s most vulnerable and often overlooked people groups, especially during the pandemic.

In a COVID-19 report, BBC News noted, “The latest figures out of Peru mean its death rate per capita is now one of the highest, if not the highest, in the world.”

One lady’s generous heart toward orphaned children in Kenya ultimately turned her life toward her own heavenly Father.

Tembea

(verb) Swahili

 To walk around, often without a specific purpose or without a particular destination in mind. To wander aimlessly.

Ephesians 4:1-2

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.
