Shepherd’s Way
Culmination & Commencement
”I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your
works and meditate on all your mighty deeds. Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God?”
Psalm 77:11-13
Residents, trustees, staff, construction representatives and government officials gathered for the ribbon cutting
ceremony on July 23, 2013 to mark the completion of our new 90-room healthcare center at Christ’s Home Retirement
Community. Congratulatory citations and words of appreciation for the unparalleled services provided by Christ’s Home to
senior adults since 1923 were delivered by federal, state, county and township officials.
The ribbon cutting at 10:30AM led to an open house for guests to tour the building and enjoy “I never expected
refreshments in the various dining areas that will serve our residents. Shepherd’s Way is home to 24

resident garden. All of these rooms include a private bathroom. After being shown where his new
room and dining area will be, one Personal Care resident for the last
18 months said, “I never expected to live in a place like this.”

such as a spacious Bistro including covered outdoor seating, a prayer
chapel, and Smyth Hall which will host social events, weekly church
services, and other retirement community gatherings.

Travel Journal by Jim McGovern
In 2011, Christ’s Home began supporting two international children’s ministries,
Chariots For Hope in Kenya, Africa and Sunshine Ministries in the city of Hyderabad, India.
Chariots For Hope is a non-profit agency located in Dresher, Pennsylvania. Sunshine
Ministries is a non-profit agency that is based in Hatboro, Pennsylvania. We had relationships
with both ministries through staff members that previously worked at Christ’s Home.
In February 2013, the Christ’s Home Board of Trustees asked me to visit both of
the children’s homes and put some “boots on the ground.” On April 15th, I took off from
Newark Liberty International Airport for my first adventure.
After traveling over 36,000 miles between April and July (that is the equivalent of one
and half times around the globe), I am excited to share with you some highlights from my
journeys.
Kenya, Africa
I arrived in Nairobi on April 17th, along with Bob Feller,
Christ’s Home Trustee; Mark Wakeman, Operations Coordinator
for Chariots For Hope; and, Gina, my wife. Our mission in
Kenya was to visit the Mahiga Children’s Home, meet and
interact with the children and train and encourage the staff.
This home is part of a network of ten children’s homes in
Kenya overseen by Chariots For Hope whose mission is to bring
the prospect of hope to the forgotten children of Africa. The Mahiga
Children’s Home provides holistic care to over one hundred children, ranging in age from
six to nineteen. Many of the children’s backgrounds are very similar: “Mother died during
childbirth,” “raised by grandparents in extreme poverty,” “father unknown,” “born as a result
of rape,” “mother had HIV/AIDS.” Yet as bleak as these circumstances sound, we were greeted
by many happy, beautiful children who were very excited that we had traveled so far to visit
with them.
Mahiga Children’s Home Staff - We had an opportunity to share with the staff at Mahiga,
which is comprised of four women, a groundskeeper, a
security guard, a cook and the manager. Together, these
eight committed adults care for 105 children. They work
for three months at a time and then have two weeks
off to visit family. As you can imagine, the work is
exhausting. I spoke about the ministry of Christ’s Home
and the similarities between the children that we serve.
I talked about many issues relating to the care and
nurturing of children. Bob Feller also shared from God’s
Word how we can be loving leaders. After our day of
meeting and speaking with the staff, they shared several
insightful comments. Patrick, the groundskeeper said; “We can only do this—to love the
children the way God wants us to love, through the love of Christ in our hearts.” Samuel,
the security guard, commented that he now feels that he not only needs to know each child
by name, but he needs to be a good example and model Christ for them. The staff was
thirsty for knowledge and greatly appreciated the time, effort, certificates of appreciation
and small gifts that we provided for each of them in recognition of their commitment and
dedication to the children at Mahiga. As we sat together that day in a rather small, sparse
office and interacted with the staff, there was a bonding and connection based upon our
mutual love for vulnerable children despite our language and cultural barriers.
Mahiga Children’s Community Visits - The next day, we had the opportunity to go with David
Mbugua, Mahiga’s manager, with several of the children as they visited their families. The
children visit with their families every three months to stay connected to them. As we were
leaving Mahiga, we stopped by the adjacent church to say hello to the Bishop. The Bishop
stated how thankful he was for Christ’s Home and Chariots For Hope. He shared an “old
Irish” proverb that states “When God closes one door, he opens another.” It was funny to
hear an older African pastor quote an Irish proverb, but he was referring to the fact that
Mahiga was about to close its doors and discharge all of the children due to a lack of
funding, when Christ’s Home stepped in and began supporting the home.

TRAVEL JOURNAL CONTINUED
Our first home visit was to the grandparents of James,
a 12-year-old blind boy, who Mahiga supports by paying
for his schooling at a special school equipped to care for
blind children. James was the only child of his mother
who passed away shortly after he was born. His mother’s
parents have raised him. They seemed to be good people
who love James, but they were obviously very poor. They
invited us into their home, which consisted of a shack with
a tin roof, cardboard walls, and sheets hanging to separate
the inside space into rooms. The house was dark from the soot of their cooking fire
and lack of windows. James’ grandmother indicated that James wanted to pray with us. So
James, who smiled broadly during the entire visit, prayed
exuberantly a prayer of joy and thanksgiving. I was very
humbled by the prayer of a 12-year-old blind boy from
Kenya. We took pictures and talked about James’ eyesight
and the hopes that James may one day see.
Next, we went to the home of Jane Njeri and Justice,
who are twins. They had come to Mahiga when neighbors
reported that Jane had been kept out of school to care
for her older sister’s baby. The child had been born as the
result of incest by their father. When David Mbugua had told
Jane and Justice to get ready to visit their parents, they
had begged him not to leave them there, and he promised
that he wouldn't. Their parents’ "home" was up a very steep
hill. We parked at the bottom and climbed up. At the top,
we met the parents. The
twins, however, were anxious to leave the home and only
reluctantly walked back to shake their parents' hands
before leaving. As we descended the steep hill, we had to
get out of the way of some sheep that came scampering
briskly down the hill. This visit was a
vivid reminder of the safety and security
that Mahiga provides for the children.
That afternoon we presented the
children with many gifts, including
soccer balls, sports equipment, wool hats,
scarves, crafts, games, and new shoes
along with soccer goals that
Bob Feller and I brought from home.
Many of the gifts were donated
by generous friends and were greatly
appreciated by the children.
As we left Mahiga Children’s Home the following afternoon, David Mbugua addressed us and
the children: “When you go back to America we feel that the bond is stronger than before,
may God bless you so much, now we are one family, we have seen each other, we have met,
we have talked, shared and we have interacted. We will be praying for you, remember us in
your prayers, God bless you so much, we thank you so much.
Stuck - After a tearful goodbye at Mahiga, we embarked on the next leg of our journey
to Kijabe to visit some friends from the U.S. who were serving at
Rift Valley Academy. It rained heavily during the afternoon and
the dirt roads were very muddy and slippery. As darkness was
approaching around 7:00 pm, we slid off the road and became
stuck in the mud. We had planned to reach our destination before
dark since we were aware the area was known for violence and
robberies, especially toward Westerners. It was dark, our flashlight
batteries were dim, and it began to rain again. We prayed for
a way out, but did not have many options. Around 9:30 pm, a
4-wheel-drive van came up the road with its headlights piercing
the darkness. Benson, a local man, agreed to pull us out with his van using a steel cable.
Although we were doubtful, he clearly knew what he was doing and, by the grace of God,

was able to pull us free. It felt as if God’s hands were pushing us up that mountain road
until we reached the top. Our friends at Rift Valley Academy greeted us with open arms, fed
us a hot meal and helped us clean the mud from our clothes.
After visiting two other children’s homes, including a baby home, we began our long
return journey home. We finally arrived back in the U.S. on April 26th.
We were so grateful for our time and really learned to appreciate the amenities we have in
the United States. One of the men we met said that “every day is a struggle to live in Kenya”
and I now know why he said that. I think it is especially difficult for the children that
have so many obstacles to leading a safe, happy life. Please pray for the children and staff
at the Mahiga Children’s Home. If you would like to partner with us by supporting a child,
please see the form in the enclosed envelope. You can visit www.chariotsforhope.org to
learn more about the Mahiga Children’s Home.
Hyderabad, India
On July 10th, Bob Feller and I started our second mission trip
to Hyderabad, India. Our mission was to visit Sunshine Ministries
Good Shepherd School and Children’s Home. Sunshine Ministries
was started by David and Abigail Babu, former Christ’s Home staff
members. India is one third the size of
the continental United States, but the population
is three times the size of the U.S population. I was struck by
how many people there were, everywhere! The traffic was unlike
anything you have seen in the United States. There are threewheeled taxis and small motorbikes constantly flowing through
the busy traffic honking their horns as a courtesy, to make you
aware that they are there.
Good Shepherd’s School - After two and a half days of travel
we finally arrived and went straight to the school. The children greeted us with songs and
a shower of flower petals, along with a flower garland necklace. There were 160 students
at the school, thirty of which live there at the children’s home. The
children all come from local villages and most of the children
come from very impoverished families. The majority of the
children come from either Hindu or Muslim families. At the school
they have the opportunity to hear and learn about the gospel.
On Wednesday July 17, we celebrated the dedication of a new school
building, which took several years from planning, fundraising to
completion. A substantial gift from Christ’s Home enabled the
new school building to be completed. The new building consists
of four large classrooms, with the capacity to expand to a second floor in the future,
as funds become available. We had the privilege of meeting the builder, a Godly man
that had retired from the Iranian Air Force as a MIG 29 pilot. He primarily builds large
scale apartment buildings, but heard about the school and wanted to help the school and
students by constructing the new building. There was a ribbon cutting ceremony for each
classroom, and several people prayed a prayer of dedication for each classroom and the
students that would be taught there.
Pastor’s Conference - In addition to spending time with the teachers and the students at
the Good Shepherd School, we had the opportunity to see some other aspects of Sunshine
Ministries. Bob Feller and I both participated in a week-long pastor’s conference for over 50
lay pastors, we attended a class of 60 young women who were graduating from a computer
skill center, and saw some of the 20 sewing centers where young women are taught how to
sew. You can visit www.sunshine-ministries.org to learn more about Sunshine Ministries.
As we participated in a closing ceremony at the school with all of the students and
teachers, I was presented with a hand-written letter, which read: “Thank you for coming all
the way from the U.S. to spend time with us. Thank you for your love and friendship. We
learned from your moral stories, crafts, sports and spoken English class. We were so happy
to spend time with you. We appreciate your love and generosity. We are so thankful for
the Good Shepherd School and friends like you who are helping us. We will pray to the

concept and design to building and occupation. New

the commencement of a new era of senior living and
medical care at the retirement community, providing
the ability to minister to many more senior adults with
a full range of essential and state of the art medical
services.

Lord that you will visit with us again. We wish you a happy
journey! Love, the Good Shepherd School, students and
staff.”
In conclusion, both international children’s
ministries are changing lives of their students and their
families. They both have solid accounting principles
and procedures in place. We met dedicated, committed
staff and leaders that truly have a heart for vulnerable
children. We observed over 200 children that were happy,
healthy, content, safe, secure and well cared for. These children were being
taught values and morals and the story of God’s love that will change their lives for eternity.
I am so thankful for these opportunities to visit children across the world who at first
glance live very different lives, but in so many other ways, have much in common with the
children that we have the privilege to serve at Christ’s Home. I truly see this as a natural
extension of the ministry of Christ’s Home and pray that you will partner with us in meeting
the needs of these very special children.
