The Power of Kinship: Flavia’s Journey to Belonging

“Kinship” isn’t just a word in our name—it’s at the heart of everything we do. It’s a feeling, a connection, a sense of belonging. And when an orphan or widow feels forgotten and alone, your support steps in to say, “You matter. You’re loved. You belong.” Because of you, they find a new family, a true community, and the comforting truth that they’re not alone anymore. Just like Flavia did.

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

Home Sponsorship Spotlight: Home of Love, India

In a region in India devastated by poverty and child labor, the Home of Love Kinship Project rescues and provides for orphaned children and widowed women in desperate need of help and Jesus’s love. Hear about the transformative work at Home of Love from in-country Pastor Rani himself. “Home of Love serves a rural area where industries have displaced indigenous tribes. As a result, people in these areas have lost their cultivated lands and homes. The simple and honest people of this region lack access to food and proper medical care. Child labor is a growing concern.” Home of Love Newsletter
