Don’t Call Me Mohammed, My Name is Musa (Moses) by Ronald and LouDell Posein
“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” (James 1:27)
Ron and LouDell Posein present, Don’t Call Me Mohammed, Call Me Musa (Moses), showcasing the Starehe Children’s Home encompassing over 20 years of missionary work in Tanzania at the Starahe Children’s Home, a 110 acre farm and orphanage.
This is a beautiful and touching story of God’s unfathomable grace to the innocent and helpless, the infants, toddlers, and children of Tanzania. A once failing and dilapidated orphanage with severely sick and malnourished infants and children is now a thriving orphanage with over 128 children. At Starehe Children’s Home orphans receive the love, care, nutrition, and education within a thriving Christian environment. Now known as the best orphanage in the country, Starehe Children’s Home has been renovated with two existing buildings renovated and many new buildings constructed. Children once abandoned are nurtured back to emotional, social, and physical health.
Remaining as a steadfast and secure beacon of hope for these children, Ron and LouDell Posein followed the calling of God in obedience to save the least of the least. Becoming grandmother (Bibi) and grandfather (Babu) to these desperate children, the Posein’s taught them that God loves His children. They are orphans no more, but adopted into the family of God by God Himself. Children who would have once perished, now prosper and grow to become well-rounded adults in a country severely affected and recovering from the AIDS crisis during the early 1990’s that left many orphaned and abandoned.
Tanzania is a beautiful third world country far from Western culture. They have their own culture and customs, alongside a dark spiritual side, as witchcraft and the use of witchdoctor’s abounds. Great insight into the spiritual warfare involved with such an endeavor, readers will be introduced to the people, the customs, and the land of Tanzania and the might of God amid the witchcraft.
In 1973 Ron & LouDell began their missionary service in Tanzania. Originally from Canada and after a six-month, total immersion language course in Kiswahili, their main work involved encouraging established National churches, planting new ones, and teaching in Bible Schools and Bible College. Becoming fluent in Kiswahili and knowledgeable of local tribal customs, they were asked by the government of Tanzania to take on the task of helping orphans due to the AIDS virus ravaging the country leaving many orphaned children. From a meagre beginning the children’s home known as, Starehe Children’s Home, grew to fully caring for 128 orphans. Many were classed as 100% orphans, meaning they had no known living mother or father or relatives. Being an orphan is demoralizing in a society which places high value on tribal identification.
Over time many new buildings were constructed. Eventually totaling 110 acres, farm land was slowly accumulated. A size which no one in the area could even dream of owning. Children were loved, housed, fed, clothed, and given the best education and medical care. Most importantly they were taught that God loves them. Starehe Children’s Home is a safe place for them to emerge from a hopeless future to a life of possibilities. It became known as the best children’s home in the country.
