Celebrating KGM Local Business Partners

Kerusomen owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Dotti Ackerman and the ladies of Friends Needing Friends Widow Ministry in Florida and New Jersey. It was Dotti and her team who first championed KGM's widows in India 12 years ago. Since then, FNF has partnered faithfully to expand that ministry year after year after year. They've provided emergency food, medicine, skills training, income producing goats and chickens and Bible Story Scarves to at-risk India widows. But most of all they've sent their love and their prayers to these precious women every single day.

Happy 35th Anniversary Friends Needing Friends! Your amazing ministry to widows here, in India, and all around the globe through your wonderful FNF Blog, has touched the lives of countless widows for God's glory for decades. We are greatly honored to serve with you and play a small part in your ministry. We love each and every one of you dearly and can never, ever thank you enough. 

God bless you. Tom Caprio and the KGM Board.

International Widows Day 2023

A One-Minute Quiz to Test Your Knowledge ♦ 2023 International Widows Day

 

Every June we celebrate International Widow’s Day. This year we invite you to help create awareness about the situation of widows across the world by sharing this quiz. 

We believe that believers everywhere
have a role to play in caring for widows. 

Widowhood makes everyday challenges harder than they need to be, stealing confidence, safe community, and hope for the future. But with access to Godly support and fellowship programs, everything changes – especially for women in India. 

To those of you who support our many widow ministries in India – God bless you. 

Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means
 caring for orphans and widows in their distress
and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

(James 1:27 NLT)

 

HONOR A WIDOW ON INTERNATIONAL WIDOWS DAY

Often family and friends gather around a grieving woman for a short period, then go on with their lives. But International Widow's Day reminds us that widowhood doesn’t have an expiration date. Women who've lost their spouse need our ongoing love, help, and support. 

Many times a simple acknowledgement that you haven't forgotten their loss or their husband, will help them heal and remind them that you want to stay connected and be a part of their life. In her book entitled, From One Widow to Another, Miriam Neff lists seven to-do tips that can help us to help and encourage widows. Here's tip number four:

"Do refer to our husband’s acts or words – serious or humorous. We are so comforted by knowing our husband has not been forgotten..."

Sending a card in memory of her husband on International Widows Day is a  beautiful way to show you remember a widow's husband and are thinking of her with compassion and respect.

Kerusomen Gospel Ministries is privileged to partner with two widow ministries -  one here and one in India. This year we invite you to help us honor both USA and India widows with a special blessing.

IN CELEBRATION OF #INTERNATIONAL WIDOWS DAY

We've created two special cards that will bless two widows:  a local widow you know and an at-risk widow in India. You can change the course of the future for an at-risk widow in India and show the love of Jesus to a widow in your neighborhood. 

                    CARD #1                                                            CARD #2

CLICK ON THE CARD TO ENLARGE

HOW DOES IT WORK?  

For a small $15 gift, you select one of the cards above to hand-deliver or mail to a special widow you know. The card honors your recipient and commemorates her husband by helping us reach 1,000 widows in India so they can experience Christ in practical and life-giving ways. After you write a personal message on the back of the card, slip it into the provided envelope. 

WHERE WILL MY MONEY GO?  

Your gift, given in the name of your recipient, will help fund our India widow ministries that provide food, medicine, income-producing animals, or savings and business training for at-risk and abandoned India widows.

HOW ELSE CAN I HELP? 

Share this opportunity to bless two widows with your friends and family! Forward our posts on Facebook and spread the word. Most important, keep us in your thoughts and prayers through #Internationalwidowsday.
