Founded in 1985, the Jan McCray Ministries, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that works with widows, orphans, and vulnerable children in the rural villages of Naikarra and Leshuta in Kenya, Africa.

Our Mission

The mission of the Jan McCray Ministries is simple: That the church should honor widows and orphans by showing God’s love and care for them. Throughout Scripture we see God’s heart for the fatherless and the widows, and James 1:27 makes very clear the mandate to care for both. “Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.”

There is a tremendous blessing in serving and standing up for orphans and widows. It is to that end that the Jan McCray Ministries built the House of Love orphanage in Leshuta where 36 orphaned girls are provided with a loving home. In addition, we currently support 40 widows in Naikarra.

House of Love

Built in 2012, the House of Love is an orphanage in Leshuta, Kenya that provides a loving and Christ-centered home environment for 36 girls living in one of the poorest countries in the world. The girls are nurtured and protected from forced child marriages, forced circumcision, child labor and child trafficking. Each girl is raised knowing they are valued and precious, and that Jesus loves them and has a wonderful plan for their lives.

Get Involved

Donations ensure that each child receives the tools needed to reach their highest potential with dignity and joy

Widow's Ministry

One of the most neglected groups of people in today’s African society are the widows. Widows face sexual exploitation and through no fault of their own are socially stigmatized and deprived of respect and humanity. Presently the JMM cares for over 40 widows each month through our widows outreach program.
