Presented by: Julius Mbaya Makathimo

Workshop description:

Pastor Julius will share about the challenges of caring for orphans and vulnerable children in Nairobi. Have you ever wondered whether God is going to give a “final exam” when you stand before him? Matthew 25:31-46 will be reviewed in answer to this important question. In Kenya half of the orphans have lost their parent to HIV/AIDS. This increased to 2.3 million in 2010. Orphans have many psychological stress and trauma. The HIV/AIDS is a crisis of enormous spiritual, social and political proportions. It requires religious leader who can use the trust and authority they have in their communities to change the course of the pandemic.
