"Religion that pleases God the Father must be pure and spotless. You must help needy orphans and widows and not let this world make you evil." (James 1:27, CEV)
Every day in Liberia, countless individuals grapple with the harsh reality of food insecurity. Widows, in particular, face overwhelming challenges as they strive to care for their children amidst hunger and lack of resources. The cycle of poverty continues, denying them education and a brighter future.
Inspired by James 1:27, Serve Africa is dedicated to empowering widows across the continent. Through our programs, we provide small grants for table markets, scholarships to further their children's education, and shelter solutions to give them a safe place to call home.
THE STORY OF MOTHER PATRICIA
In 2018, Mother Patricia faced unimaginable loss when her husband tragically died in a motorcycle accident, leaving her to navigate life with her children alone. In the years that followed, she has faced numerous challenges, yet her resilience shines through. Serve Africa has stepped in to provide vital support through small grants for her table market, enabling her to earn an income, and scholarships for her children, ensuring their education continues. Currently, she leads a church that her husband established, worshipping in a makeshift building that also serves as their home.
Mother Patricia embodies a deep love for God and an unwavering commitment to her church community. Her husband's visionary role has fostered a profound attachment to the church, making it not just a place of worship but a reflection of her life. With a heavy heart, she realizes she cannot allow the congregation to disperse, as they are like family to her. Now, she faces the challenge of constructing a building where she and her children can find refuge, while also providing a sacred space for her congregation to continue their worship. Fortunately, she has the land needed for this vital project.
If the Lord is calling you to be a part of Mother Patricia's journey, count this as a chance to contribute to something greater. By aligning yourself with this mission, you are actively advancing the kingdom of God. Each act of generosity helps build a stronger community rooted in faith and love. This is not just an invitation to join; it's a call to be part of a movement that seeks to touch lives and transform hearts.
