In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. (Ezekiel 45:21) Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. (Luke 22:1)
The word Passover can have numerous meanings (as we see above) from addressing the sacrifice itself, to addressing the entire seven day Feast. We need to realize that when we hear the word Passover spoken.
Greetings Brethren from the Garden State of New Jersey.
I hope all of you are well and preparing for the upcoming Seven Day Feast. Our Kenyan Brethren will congregate all seven days, as they normally do. It will be a wonderful uplifting Spiritual time for all of them. Just for them to be together is so wonderful.
Thanks to you donors, we were able to supply the Ketionko orphans with boots. Its rainy season now in Kenya, and there is a lot of mud.

I received the following letter from Dauglas:
“Dear Pastor Bill and Our Wonderful Donors,
On behalf of the orphans and widows, I want to share our overwhelming joy and gratitude for your kindness. Your generosity has brought light into their lives, filling their hearts with happiness and hope.
The food you provided has been a true blessing, ensuring that no one goes hungry. And today, the excitement is even greater! The gift of boots has made them feel loved, valued, and cared for. Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter as they wear their new boots is a beautiful reminder of the impact of your support.
From the depths of our hearts, we say THANK YOU! Your love and generosity are changing lives, giving strength to the weak, and bringing joy to those in need. May God bless you abundantly for your compassion and kindness.
With love and gratitude,
Dauglas Henry”.
I am also quite happy to report that the new meeting hall for the Getionko congregation is nearing its completion. We are hoping to complete it before the upcoming Feast so they can meet there. The link for this fundraiser is below.
The metal doors and the metal windows are now installed.
The Metal doors (and a few other places) still need to be painted. Today Dauglas and a couple of the orphans leveled the ground, and prepared it for planting grass seed. We already bought the seed, and they will plant it tomorrow.

First term has now ended; the children are returning home from boarding school and already busy cleaning the camp. Washing sheets and sweeping with a typical Kenyan broom (a broken branch from a tree suffices quite well.) Kenyan children are not lazy. They are hardworking and God fearing. These orphans you donors are caring for are wonderful children. And they appreciate your help Very much. They all know quite well what it means to be starving and naked.
As you will see in the pictures below, the Church Gardens are also doing quite well:

Nehemiah & Mokoro
Nehemiah and Mokoro are amazing people. They are true servants of God, and often protected by God, thanks to your prayers. As I often mention, Kenya can be a very dangerous place. Last week the motorbike taxi they were on lost control and headed for the ditch. Nehemiah was on the back and managed to hop off. But Mokoro ended up in the ditch with his leg stuck in the spokes of the wheel. And on top of that, he was unconscious. There was no Ambulance, but after an hour, Nehemiah managed to get a taxi to bring them to the hospital. And thanks to your prayers, Mokoro is okay, as you can see in the picture. I think he is scheduled to get some stitches removed soon.
So please continue praying for them, especially for Nehemiah. On top of all that he does managing the orphanage, and assisting the remote widows, and the remote orphans, he has the constant threat of being arrested. Even today, the authorities came in and inspected Sengera House, they found no food in the store room, and would normally immediately arrest the administrator. But they didn’t, why? Because of your prayers. And we did have enough money today to go grocery shopping and do the food budget. BUT our funds have been getting low, and are now depleted. So if you can help, please do so.
A few people sent in extra funds earmarked for the Feast, and that is so Very much appreciated. We are now hoping that others will also help for the upcoming Feast because we need a boost right now, especially if they’re going to eat during the Feast. It’s the same story here: “The harvest is great, but the laborers are few” (Luke 10:2) so please let us pray to our Lord, the Lord of the harvest, to send forth more laborers.
Also, I recently sent out a Donor Letter concerning orphan James. He has now completed High School, and hopes to fulfill his life long dream of becoming a nurse. He says he wants to be a nurse so he can help people. There is a link below which contains a heart felt letter to you donors from James.
We pray you have a wonderful Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread. And we hope you will tell others about the impoverished orphans and widows that still need our help.
Thank You
Bill Goff
