The beautiful and tiny children of St. Barnabas and important plans for their welfare
Priest Seraphim talks about the beautiful and tiny children St. Barnabas Orthodox orphanage and school, and about playing with them, and how easily they respond to love and attention.
https://youtu.be/QgZzu21VuVQ He also talks about a critical next step for the welfare of these children: the building of the dormitory that will house 180 orphans, and keep them safe from hunger and abuse and exploitation, and also a community in which they will learn how to live, and be taught the Orthodox Christian faith, and have friends that share their burdens, and teachers that care for them.
This dormitory, God willing will be built when there are those who share in this vision with almsgiving and prayer. Father Methodius, the Rector of this orphanage and school, and Priest Seraphim, who is pastor of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in McKinney Texas and who corresponds with Father Methodius often, and plans many visits to Kenya, will promise to every donor that they will be commemorated perpetually St. Barnabas and St. Nicholas. We will create a permanent dyptich – a list of names that will be commemorated in every Divine liturgy.
Go to www.orthodoxmissionkenya.org for more about this mission, with full details about the building of the dormitory to be forthcoming. You may make a donation there. Please note that it is for the dormitory. We estimate that it will cost $45,000 (American dollars – a moderate sum in America, and a ransom in Kenya) to build the dormitory, and average of $250/child. You may also save the cost of money transfer fees by sending checks to St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, PO 37, McKinney, TX 75070. Note on the check that it is for the dormitory, and all funds will be transferred to the mission in a way that saves all transfer fees.
