Your prayers for finances and the manpower to complete this project are greatly appreciated. We see this new location as a place where many ministries can work together, find a place to retreat, and grow in their relationship and obedience to our loving Heavenly Father. 

Ralph & Rebecca Margeson
Hope for Widows and Orphans Ministry

We are so grateful to DOVE Int’l and DOVE Canada in supporting our ministry in Manda, Western Kenya since 2015. During our visit in November and December 2023, we experienced God’s miraculous provision to over 150 widows and orphans through our ministry and farm. Our widows meet weekly to fellowship, study God’s word and pray for each other. Our widows group has expanded to a second group of widows meeting outside of Manda in the area of Lwandeti. This second group of widows meet on the compound of one of our HFW widows and recently these widows started farming from this compound which helps provide food and funds for their needs.

Your prayers are much appreciated for:

  • seeing further expansions of the widows’ groups in the area surrounding Manda and Lwandeti region
  • our Hope for Widows Farm to have more land be farmed by the widows themselves to provide for their needs of both food and finances for other needs
  • an “Orphans Education Fund” to be started. Recently some of our widows passed away, leaving orphans that need funds for their elementary & high school education.
  • partnership programs to help support our ministry both here in Canada and in Kenya
  • financial support to help start income-generating projects to be managed by the HFW widows
  • Christian discipleship classes for our widows to help them in their spiritual journey with Christ
  • provision of basic needs and prayer for healing for the widows who are poor and sick.

We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Hebrews 12:2 NLT
