But I will preserve the orphans who remain among you. Your widows, too, will be able to depend on me for help. – Jeremiah 49:11
Within a New Dawn Community is the establishment of what we call “The Father’s House” for parentless children. We believe that each person is created by God in His image and therefore all are equal in value and should live in harmony and equity with others. We seek to lift the widow and orphan from the circumstances and stigma of destitution by relating to them in honor and dignity.
In truth, the widow and orphan enter into a very intimate and unique relationship with God at the moment of their loss; the Scriptures tell us that God pays special attention to them and He does so through His caring people. Therefore, we regard these precious ones with respect, choosing to refer to them as “the Father’s children” because of this closeness.

As New Dawn Communities ventures into the blogosphere, I wanted to share Pastor Ron Sukut’s thoughts and prayers as he travels back to Kenya.
I pray not only for this trip, but for all of us to be shown God’s movement throughout the world. As we share about New Dawn Communities in this blog let us discover that it can be a tool to help make things a bit clearer not only in the present, but also in God’s movement in the future.
Part of my journey over the last couple of years has been studying Henry Blackaby’s Experiencing God. For today’s post, I’m going to adopt the verse Blackaby uses at the top of his Blackaby Ministries website:
“…Our God
Whom we serve is able…
and He will…”
–Daniel 3:17
This from Pastor Ron:
Please pray for us as we venture out to Kenya, Africa once again. We will be meeting with indigenous church leaders for training and equipping. We will also be gathering the staff of New Dawn for additional training and presenting the vision of our next New Dawn Community. There will be leaders from Tanzania and Uganda who will be joining us. The team travels down to Tanzania to look at land we are considering for the next New Dawn in that country. Let’s redeem this generation of indigenous youth and raise them up to be Christ centered world changers. “Pamoja Tutashinda” Swahili for “Together we will succeed.”
Have a blessed day!
- Alexander
