| Don Bliss Foundation is a Christian
non-profit organization founded with the main aim of
setting up a rescue and rehabilitation centre with an
education fund for the Orphans and less fortunate children,
a rehabilitation facility for the rescued destitute
families, an entrepreneurship centre for self sustenance
and a spiritual home for an all round person.
The organization was founded in the year 2003 as a
community based organization and later registered with
the registrar of societies in 2007. During this period,
we have organized annual football competitions aimed
at trapping the youth for rehabilitation, funding for
needy students, we have arranged for placement opportunities
as well as sharing the word of God with the less fortunate
members of our society.
Currently, the organization is networking with Valley
of Faith Baptist church in Mshomoroni, Mombasa in Kenya
from where we co-ordinate our activities.
The Foundation is a long time dream come true based
on my personal experience with the Don Bliss family
during their ministry in Africa and after. Mr. Don Bliss
was a Southern Baptist International Mission Board missionary
to Kenya between 1973 and 1989.
The love and care that led to the birth of the foundation
is widely seen as the continuation of a name and spirit
that brought life and hope to many souls, in 1978 in
Kitale, Kenya.I still enjoy a good relationship and
support from the Bliss family many years after his death.
This relationship offered the solid foundation upon
which my spiritual strength continues to thrive upon
to this very day. I would not be where I am today if
it was not for their good will and kindness.
It is in this spirit that I have taken the initiative
to do unto others what somebody once did to me. It is
my desire to inspire, to leave a positive mark in the
life of someone, give hope to the hopeless and good
fortune to the unfortunate. This can be achieved by
your partaking in this dream and helping turn it into
a reality.
This dream is inspired
by;
- James 1:27
Religion that God our father accepts as pure and faultless
is this: to look after orphans and widows in their
distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by
the world.
- Luke 6:38
Give and it will be given to you, A good measure,
pressed down, shaken together and running over, will
be poured into your lap. For with the measure you
use it will be measured to you.
- Proverbs 28:27
He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he
who closes his eyes to them receives many curses.
- Mother Teresa
who said, “We can not do great things; only
small things with great love.”
