Being Faithful in the Small

We at Revived By Love Ministries have been busy trying to get everything ready and together for our official ministry launch in September! Paperwork to be done, children and single mothers to interviewed, website to be made, t-shirts to be sold, and sponsors to be found are only a few of the many things consuming our time and energy the past two months.

 But in the midst of this busy life, we realize there are people needing to be revived by love. People that deserve care, attention and encouragement NOW... so way wait for our official launch to reach out to them? We've decided to join with a pastor and his wife with an already established ministry to love on  people. The target group? Street boys in Bungoma, Kenya.

These boys all have stories. Between the ages of 9 and 18 years old these boys eat, sleep, play and survive on the streets. Many of them are true orphans, without parents or guardians, and the others have run away from their homes due to the conditions of life they were living there.

Any bystander can see their dirty rags for clothes, their bare wounded feet, and their ability to fight, but it takes someone willing to invest their time and energy and love to witness the deep part of these boys' hearts. These boys all desire to be loved. They desire to go to school. They desire to have a good future. They desire to feel special. And we know that that is the Fathers desire for them too.

At the moment, all that is being provided for them now is a healthy meal once a week, and these boys really appreciate it. The pastor and his wife eventually want to have a home and school for them, to get them completely off the streets and to provide them with an education that can take them to a better future.

As Luke 16:10 puts it, "If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones..." It isn't always about starting with a vision and immediately jumping to the completion. Dreams take dedication and tremendous effort to come to pass. And if along the way you do the little things while working towards your big goal, God will bless you. Be faithful, stay consistent and don't give up on the vision that God has given  to you!  

"Be confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6

Brittney's Story

Brittney McNaney is 20 years old, born and raised in Colorado, USA. She is the youngest of four; consisting of two brothers and a sister. Her parents are divorced, but both support her in everything she does and she has a very loving step-mother. Her mother is a realtor and her dad and step-mom are both business owners.

Ever since she was little, Brittney has always loved helping people. It wasn’t until this past year that God really revealed to her His calling for her. She was going to school as to become a nurse, but just wasn’t completely fulfilled. After praying about it for weeks on end, one morning God revealed to her His plan. From that defining moment, she realized that her heart belonged more in doing mission work and changing the lives of people around her, as well as people from other countries. By meeting a friend she was able to take her first mission trip to Kenya, Africa. This experienced changed her whole life and opened many doors.

One day at a little coffee shop, Brittney and three other of her friends went in to have their regular cup of coffee when God decided to reveal another idea to them. This idea, Revived By Love Ministries. What usually was just a quick fifteen minute stop turned into hours of scratching out plans for the ministry.

Brittney has a passion for helping to better the lives of people around her and reaching out to women and children. She is beyond blessed to be given the opportunity to reach out to people all across the world through the love of Christ.
