Bible Verses About Love: The Call to Serve the Vulnerable

At Kinship United, our mission is rooted in love—love for children, love for widows, and love for the communities we serve around the world. The Bible speaks of love in many ways, urging us to love deeply and sacrificially. As we reflect on these powerful Bible verses about love, we see how they align perfectly with our work to rescue orphans, provide care for widows, and share the Gospel with those in need. These verses remind us that love is not just a feeling—it’s an action, one that calls us to serve, protect, and heal. Here are five Bible verses Community

And when an orphan or widow feels forgotten and alone, your support steps in to say, “You matter. You’re loved.

Poverty Tried to Steal his Future; You Gave It Back to Him

A young Selus Your generosity makes a real and lasting difference for children in desperate situations—children like Marsel (but people usually call him "Selus"). Poverty tried to steal his future, but your support gave him the tools he needed to open doors he never thought possible.

The Gift of Eyesight: SEE What You’ve Done for Geoffrey!

Geoffrey’s life hasn’t been easy, but his story is becoming one of hope and healing. He lives with cross eyes, which limit how he sees the world and have always made him feel self-conscious. After surviving a frightening motorcycle crash, he began a journey of recovery—not just for his physical injuries, but also for the deep emotional wounds he has carried for so long. A big part of Geoffrey’s healing came through the love and support of the Kinship community around him. His Kireka Kinship family and Pastor Richard stood by him as always, offering encouragement and prayer. Joel, a Newsletter
