"This is what I do." Meet Salome.
PLEASE READ THIS.
Taken in Tunga/Zuga Village, remote Kebbe State. Nigeria.
My passion in life is to bless the poor by sharing some of what God has blessed me with, and allow others to share the blessings by helping, too, for Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my (Jesus’) name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. Mark 9:37
Salome sits at the fire and starts her day at sunrise before anyone else get up. She prepares what little food she has to feed herself, her younger sister and disabled mother. She has never been to school nor had time to play like other children.
Something went very wrong when Angel, her younger sister was born and their mother was never able to walk again. Since then Salome has been caring for her mother and sister.
Salome needs mechanical farm tools, seed, fertilizers, and water barrels to store water. Then she will be able to grow her own food in her family garden.
I am returning to these remote villages on 15th November- 16th December 2009.
Please my dear friends, pray for and help Salome, and so many in her kind of life. If you can bless her by donating towards her needs, you in turn will receive a blessing from God. Psalm 41:1-3
1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

Hi, I’m Trevor Irwin, a Missionary to neglected, poverty-stricken, malnourished, sick and dying people in desert central Africa.
I formed and run thePhiladelphia Charity Mission,

We do not discriminate for any reasons, not creed, nor color, nor financial standing, nor political, nor tribal standing.
While we serve anyone in need, I myself am a Christian missionary, and these villagers are my sheep, and my joy and passion is to help them. Many miracles have happened in the name of Jesus, and many have come to trust in our Lord Jesus Christ!
