KIDS WITHOUT WALLS INTERNATIONAL
Kids Without Walls International (KWOWI) is a ministry of The Church Without Walls International (CWOWI).
ABOUT
KWOWI is an effort for those who are part of CWOWI to support the less fortunate in our house church network. As we’ve grown, especially in Uganda and Kenya, needs in those nations have overwhelmed our affiliates. AIDS, abandonment, other illnesses/death, and poor economies have meant many orphan and single parent homes without the ability to care for the children, especially. While some in the local body have taken in some of these children and sometimes their parent as well, the burden remains great.
WHY WE HELP
In Acts 4:34 it says no one lacked anything. They didn’t live in a commune, they lived in their regular homes, but as unexpected needs arose the body of Christ responded by taking care of that need. Some sold extra assets to help meet the need, but the core is that no one lacked. As the body of Christ expanded throughout the Roman Empire, the meeting of needs to the point no one lacked, involved time and distance.
For example, in Acts 11: 28-30 when a famine arose in the area around Jerusalem, the body in Antioch, several hundred miles/kilometers north, sent a cash offering to them with Paul and Barnabas. We also see Paul in I Corinthians 16 and II Corinthians 8 & 9, as well as Romans 15, gathering a collection for the poor in Jerusalem, the church there being overwhelmed with the needs.
Each house church is responsible for meeting the needs of its own, but when a need is larger than they can handle, they appealed to the network – that’s what we see in the NT. Jesus said in Matthew 25 He is returning for a church who took care of those in their midst who are hungry, thirsty, needing clothing, hospitality or a visit. How do we do that Lord? Finally, a few weeks ago in one of our house church meetings, the Lord gave me His will and wisdom on the matter, so we are moving in that direction.
HOW TO HELP
We will soon be offering sponsorship for individual children in Uganda and Kenya for $41 USD per month, forwarding the bulk to the child and their needs, with just a small amount kept back for our own administrative needs. These are people in our network, the leaders we actually know and have known for years.
We hope to have the KWOWI ministry fully operational by the end of 2022. Until then, you can directly donate to KWOWI now to support its development and provide general relief to CWOWI house church affiliates in need.
