Help Widows and Orphans
TO DATE RECEIVED: $5,078
Help John and Kay West as they provide for widows and orphans in South Africa. Your donation will help oversee building projects for widows, the payment of fees for the education of children, distribute clothing, food, Bibles and much more.
In August 2026, John, Kay, and their ministry team will once again travel to Africa for four weeks of ministry, encouragement, and outreach. Their schedule is full, with opportunities to share Christ's love, strengthen local partnerships, and minister to hundreds of people.
Some of the highlights of their trip include:
Visiting approximately 20 villages to share God's Word with an estimated 500–800 women, while distributing gifts of basic food supplies and hygiene products for them and their families.
Meeting with and encouraging their many ministry partners, strengthening relationships and supporting the work God is doing through them.
Spending time with each of their 29 sponsored children and young adults, checking on their well-being and needs, encouraging them in their education and their walk with the Lord, and praying for each one.
Praying throughout the communities they visit, asking God to transform hearts and lives, just as Scripture declares:
"To open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me." — Acts 26:18
Please join us in praying for safe travels, good health, divine appointments, and that God will prepare hearts to receive the hope found in Jesus Christ. May every conversation, every prayer, and every act of kindness bear lasting fruit for His Kingdom.
