Greetings Brethren.
We thank and praise our Heavenly Father, for all of you who quickly responded to our last letter requesting help. Thanks to you, all of the orphans and widows still live. Conditions are still challenging, but we are making progress. Thanks to your additional help, we were able to accomplish much this past Month, including planting one of our three “one-acre” gardens with bananas.
Bananas – Four Days After Planting.
We previously planted maize (corn) in this field. But after calculating the cost of fertilizer, and insecticides needed for growing maize, we barely broke even at harvest. So, we decided to plant bananas. Bananas produce fruit the very first year, and they continue producing for another 5 years. As you will see in the pictures below, the planting went quite well.
Banana project began on March 8, 2026.
Banana Planting Completed March 9, 2026.

Thanks to your additional help, we were also able to purchase Gumboots for all the children at the Getionko congregation. This will not only help prevent some sickness, but will also lesson the number of reoccurring snake bites. (Africa has Many snakes.) We’ve also had an overabundance of rain, and their mud houses have no heat. Nights are damp, and there has been much pneumonia. Days in Kenya are usually low 80F, but nights are cold and often damp. The Elevation in Kisii is (5,600 ft)
Gumboots.
The rain has been severe in many places in Kenya including our area “Kisii County,” and even in the Capital City of Nairobi. Rebecca and her Grandmother Jacinta’s mud house was severely damaged from the heavy rain, but not totally washed away. Thanks to you donors, we were able to help them repair their mud house with more sticks, and a lot of mud.
Flash floods are not only quite common in Africa, but also notably on the rise. Manley has also reported severe flooding in Nairobi, making it difficult to travel each day to his “Flight Simulator” training classes. Sixty-six Kenyan’s have died from the flooding this past week, just a week after previous flooding claimed sixty-two lives. More than 10,000 households were affected according to the “DAILY NATION.”

Manley took these pictures as he struggled to reach school. Kenya Meteorologists say the rains in recent times continue to be unprecedented. These are more “signs of the times” in which we are living, brethren. All around this world we constantly hear the words unprecedented, and apocalyptic, concerning the increasing disasters that are occurring all around this globe. Our Lord and Savior is Soon to Return. (Thank God for that!) For many, we have been hearing our entire Christian life that our Lord’s return is coming “soon”. But things are different now. The Apostle Paul told the Thessalonians that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night for many. Let us not be amongst those who will be taken by surprise, let us follow Paul’s advice and “watch” and be “sober”. (1 Thessalonians 5:6) That word “sleep” is Strong’s #G2518. Its the same exact word used in (Matthew 25:5) concerning the “sleeping” ten virgins. Brethren, If we can’t see what’s coming, we might want to fetch some of that Laodicean Eyesalve of (Revelation 3:18). Because the Midnight Cry of (Matthew 25:6) is soon to sound. And not to reiterate again, but that “Midnight Cry” of (Matthew 25:6) is the same Cry of (Revelation 10:3). Revelation chapter ten brings us to current prophetic times. (There’s a Scriptural study on that; the link is below.)

It was so nice to have enough funds to cook some big nutritional meal for everyone to eat. The norm in Kenya (when they have funds) they eat three meals a day, with nothing in between. But when they miss meals, its extremely painful, and starvation (too often) prompts suicide amongst teenage boys who can’t cope with the suffering. As mentioned in previous reports, teenage boys have been hanging themselves. And if they don’t succeed, they are arrested and thrown in jail. Why? Because suicide is against the law in Kenya. So, instead of giving them help, they incarcerate them.
Life is so difficult in these 3rd world countries, many of us have no clue how so many of our brethren are suffering. So please continue to help them, and pray for us to be better stewards. And let us continue to pray for our Heavenly Father to continue to stretch the funds that come in, and to Hedge all of us in, under His protective Wings.
We also continue trying to change our brethren’s way of cooking. Using wood isn’t very efficient. So, we continue trying to convert those who are still using wood, over to using charcoal for cooking. That includes needing to purchase Jiko’s.

Thanks to you Donors, the orphans and widows have been sleeping with food in their bellies. It is so wonderful to have enough funds to help them. But again, please let others know of the suffering, because our poor brethren are many, and they still need our help. As our Lord said: “For ye have the poor with you “always”.
The price of potatoes had dropped a bit, so being we had enough funds, we purchased two sacks. (Pictured below is the shop keeper, and the two sacks Dauglas purchased.)
As I said, we are doing our best to get ahead. So please continue to help these poor brethren of ours, especially the orphans and widows. The need is still great, and the workers are still few.
Also, the Getionko orphans are in need of heavier jackets or coats, due to the cooler nights. And, some are again beginning to sleep hungry because our food supply is low.
We also still have “two” one-acre gardens waiting to be planted, soon as we have enough funds. In one garden we will plant more bananas. In the other garden we will plant sweet potatoes.
Thank You again, brethren, for all your wonderful help. May our Almighty Father Bless each and every one of you abundantly.
Bill Goff.
