Kitale Diocese, Kenya

Through Mwamba Church Ministries International, we are currently focusing on efforts to support the secondary education for girls in the Diocese of Kitale (The Anglican Church of Kenya). Throughout the year, we conduct various fundraisers and educational events on behalf of the Kitale Diocese.

InterFaith Hospitality Alliance of Ambler

Saint Matthew’s supports the InterFaith Hospitality Alliance (IHA) of Ambler which provides shelter to homeless families from the local community. For one month, families sheltered by the network make Saint Matthew’s their home. Over 80 volunteers from the church provide shelter, food, transportation and support to the families as they work to achieve independence and become re-established in the community. Saint Matthew’s volunteers have supported this outreach ministry for over twenty consecutive years. Volunteers from Trinity Lutheran in Maple Glen will be helping again this year when we receive our guests in June.

Adopt-A-Family

As an extension of our own Interfaith Housing Network program, we provide ongoing family support and financial assistance to a selected family who is now living in the transitional housing development of the InterFaith Hospitality Alliance (IHA) of Ambler. Our goal is to be the extended part of their family, increasing their strength as a family unit.

Feed the Hungry

Following directly on the teaching of Jesus to aid the needy, each month a group of devoted parishoners prepare a meal to be served at a local soup kitchen.
