Motivated by James 1:27, one church in Rundu, Namibia is providing orphans with food, clothing and help with school fees.
Located near the lush banks of the Okavango River, the town of Rundu is home to Kaisosi Evangelical Bible Church (EBC).  It is also home to numerous orphans and vulnerable children due, largely, to the HIV pandemic.

In 2006, the Kaisosi EBC initiated a program to provide food, clothing and Christian teaching to local orphans and vulnerable children. The church also strives to provide proper hygiene and medical care, and to enrol these children in school. Thanks to generous support from Canadians and plenty of hard work on the ground, Kaisosi EBC has built a soup kitchen, classroom, and bathing facility, where the children can eat, study and clean up when they come to the program.

Ultimately the church aims to show them that they are valued children of God, embraced by the love of Christ. AIM missionaries in Rundu work alongside the local church to fulfill this vision. 

"Missionaries are also helping the church think creatively to develop self-sustaining aspects to the project (such as a garden, poultry, and sewing projects) to make it viable for the distant future and independent of overseas funding," says AIM’s Dr. Rob Greidanus.

Please contact AIM Canada or email missionary Dr. Rob Greidanus for more information.
