JESUS' FEET
"Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and
widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world". (James 1:27)
widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world". (James 1:27)
Jesus’ Feet is a non profit charity founded by Terri Temple, president of The Godly Woman’s Guide established in 2010. Our mission is to help care for the world’s most needy including orphans and widows per James 1:27.
In 2013, we employed needy women in Kenya, Africa to make dresses for us. They then used the money earned to help feed, clothe, and shelter widows and orphans.
In 2015, we partnered with CHL (Compassion Haitian Leaders aka Missionary Ladies of the Church of Christ). Our current project is to help promote and support their trips to Haiti, an extremely impoverished nation, helping to feed starving children who have resorted to eating mud cakes (patties literally made from filthy dirt). In Haiti, our neighboring island right off the east coast in the USA, many are suffering and dying daily from diseases that are curable and many have lost their lives due to inadequate supply of essential resources including water, money, food, and health care.
Sheryl Murrah, (the founder of CHL), and her team of missionaries, travel to remote villages that are normally abandoned by others due to dangerous road conditions. They visit orphanages, hospitals, prisons, and nearly thirty churches of Christ distributing much needed supplies including food and clothing. CHL also distributes Bible tracts to the needy residents. In addition, they give donated monies to church of Christ preachers, teachers, and workers to help them carry-out their daily functions.Unlike the USA, there is no government assistance for children or widows in Haiti and the church members are too poor. Unless we help, many of them will continue to die of starvation and disease. Please make a donation today. Any size amount will help.
In addition, Terri and her husband Brian (a gospel preacher in the church of Christ) are in the process of launching a church of Christ outreach center where it is much needed, in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Please see below how the funds will be used). They are also seeking members of the Lord's church to help with this launch that will officially take place, Lord's will, in 2019.
In the meantime, Jesus' Feet also gives away FREE KJV Bibles to anyone in need and distributes money along with Bible tracts to beggars and the homeless. Terri is also in the process of launching a support group for teen mom's who need spiritual guidance and emotional and financial support.
