    Dear President,

    Greetings in the name of the Lord.
    My name is Bishop Jonathan Abraham Musomba MBithi,
    Presiding Bishop,

    I would love to have someone contact me through my email for an assistance.
    My church is operating in the slums of Kayole, Mathare, Dandora, Mukuru Kayaba, in Nairobi, Kenya where Prostitution is the Norm of the day.
    You will need to visit my church and get a shock of life to find young children aged even 4yrs being sold to prostitution for the poor mother to get a dollar to feed the smallest ones.
    If you have an opportunity to help a needy child, this is your chance to help these poor virgin young girls aged below five to come out of this forced prostitution business to go back to school.
    I will be overjoyed to work hand in hand with anyone willing to help these children today.
    God bless you.

    Yours in the Love of Christ.

    Bishop Jonathan Musomba Mbithi.
    Founder:
    Royal-Kings International Ministries.
