In October 2018 Dr. Letina Jeranyama was invited as a guest speaker at the Women in the House Conference hosted by Apostle Angie in The U.K. where God used Pastor Pat Cooke to minister about widows. After this trip the IWOF leadership was inspired to do something for widows. Pastor Cooke ministered about how God keeps a careful eye on widows and He is their defender yet the church today has neglected ministering to them. In Deuteronomy 16: 11-14, God commanded that widows should not be excluded to participate. The great prophets of old Elijah and Elisha ministered to widows.

Even Jesus ministered to widows. In Acts 6 the early church took care of widows. The great deacons Stephen and Philip were elected to meet the needs of widows.

A question: What is the church doing today to minister to widows? What are you doing today to minister to widows? Today, you have an opportunity to give towards the ministry to widows.

James 1:27 says; Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is; to visit orphans and widows in their trouble.

In partnership with Faith Tabernacle Christian Center under the leadership of Senior Pastor, Dr. Peter Jeranyama, IWOF surprised widows with a Christmas gifts. Below are photos that show their appreciation of what was done in six different countries: Cameroon, Sierra Leonne, Ghana, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe IWOF would like to continue to give a befitting Christmas to widows and their children.

Through your generous support we will be able to accomplish this goal. Give today to support a worthy cause, IWOF projects and activities. The Lord will surely remember you! THANK YOU!
