LOGOS APOSTOLIC ORPHAN AID

Logos Apostolic Orphan Aid is a function of Logos Apostolic Church of God in the UK. Orphans in the UK are taken care of by the welfare state, so all of our effort is to support orphans and widows in counties where there is no welfare state. Logos Apostolic Orphan Aid in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda is a function of Logos Apostolic Church of God in those countries, and has many orphans and widows who are in need of help. HIV aids seems to be a very big producer of widows and orphans in Africa. We not only hope to help aids orphans in Kenya, in Tanzania, in Uganda, but also many other aids orphans in Africa, as well as other parts of the world. Obviously, we also expect to help widows and orphans from other causes. In our first two years of existence we have not been able to cope with the numbers; we have helped where we can, but the need is very great. The few widows and orphans shown in these pictures, as well as others, are supported as funds allow. The funds we get will help with food, clothes, shelter, for the widows and orphans, and a Christian education for the orphans where needed. At present we have no orphanages in Africa, as the children are kept in a family environment, but we would consider building some "Apostolic Orphanages" if God permits. God severely rebuked Israel for not helping widows and orphans. This is what he told them to do in order to get their sin forgiven, "judge for the orphan, plead for the widow." (Isaiah 1:17). Logos Apostolic Church of God is serious about doing what God has commanded. One of the objectives of Logos Apostolic Church of God which is written in our constitution reads:

(j) To assist widows, orphans, needy people, and street children.

As impossible as it appears in the natural, we have taken on this task by faith in order to fulfil the words of Jesus Christ:
 “For I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; naked, and you clothed me; ... For as much as you have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it to me.” (Matthew 25:35-40).
The alternative is to meet him one day and hear these words:
 “For I was hungry, and you did not give me food; I was thirsty, and you did not give me drink; I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; ... For as much as you have not done it to one of the least of these my brethren, you have not done it to me.” (Matthew 25:42-45).
The difference can affect our eternal destination:
“And these will go away into everlasting punishment; but the righteous into eternal life.” (Matthew 25:46).
