And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the Feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my Feasts.
(Leviticus 23: 1-2).
Greetings Brethren,
We hope all of you are well, as you prepare for God’s Fall Feasts. Your Kenyan Brethren send you their Highest Greetings, and wish all of you a Spiritual and Uplifting Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles, and the Last Great Day.
We want to thank you for your continued prayers, and for your continued financial support. The orphans and widows pray for you constantly, they take nothing for granted, and appreciate your help very much. As I often mention, life for our brethren living in these 3rd world countries, can be horrific. As you know from my previous Updates, we have been struggling to get on our feet, and through the difficult times we are currently in. And the authorities aren’t helping. Manley was arrested this past week, and assaulted by the soldiers. He was short funds for paying a small bill he owed, so the police arrested him. They dragged him down two flights of stairs, beating him along the way. They slapped him repeatedly in the face, knocked his glasses off and busting them. He spent two nights in jail before we were able to assist him. He only has fifteen Months left until he will finish his flight training, and begins working for Kenya Airlines. Tomorrow, Monday September 7, 2026 he is scheduled to resume flight simulator training. But it will be difficult without his glasses, especially as he recuperates from being assaulted, and incarcerated.
I’m happy to report that the gardens (as you can see in the pictures below) are doing well, thanks to your support.
Kale.
Bananas Are Growing.
Maureen Picking Beans.
Enoch Growing Cabbage, Kale, and Tomatoes.
Yes, the gardens are looking good, and progress is being made. We thank you for your support, and we thank our Heavenly Father for His blessing on these gardens.
We have also come to a good agreement with the authorities concerning school fees. They agreed “not” to arrest our leaders anymore, if we fail to have the funds for next year’s School fees. We attribute this to all of your prayers, and we thank our Heavenly Father for answering them.
But please don’t stop praying and supporting, because our orphans and widows are still going through a difficult time. We had to pay Hospital bills for a few orphans and a widow, who were admitted due to hunger. (and I was just informed that another widow has just died of starvation.) Even Dauglas’ orphans are again sleeping hungry. And Elder John Magara who was Hospitalized for pneumonia, is still lacking the funds to be discharged, and is going through a very difficult time, still sleeping on the Hospital floor. And as I mentioned in the past, These Hospitals do not feed their patients. Someone has to bring them food. And even though the gardens are looking good, they are not sufficient yet to support the food need. John has a family at home, and eight orphans that his family cares for. They too, are sleeping hungry.
Now let me try to elaborate here to make the situation with our brethren living in the 3rd word country of Kenya a little clearer. Because some are saying they are becoming weary in well doing. Now what I have to say, is very important. because peoples lives are on the line here. And I’m not talking about the physical lives of our poor and suffering Kenyan Brethren. Yes, they are suffering horrendously. But the ones who’s lives are really on the line here, are the eternal lives of the rest of us. If there was ever a time for the sheep to come to the rescue, it is now. Life for these suffering 3rd world brethren of our is horrendous.
First, let me thank the sheep who are already involved with helping our impoverished brethren. Some of you continuously go above and beyond. (You know who you are.) You are true sheep, and no doubt you will be hearing our Lord say: “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world”. (Matthew 25:34). But woe to any and all goats, because our Lord’s will not have such kind words for them.
We are doing our best to assist our impoverished brethren, with the funds we have. especially the orphans and widows. And all are suffering. Nehemiah, James, Mokoro, Francis and others, also have been sleeping hungry. So please continue to pray, and if possible, please continue to support . Our funds are once again depleted. As funds come in, they go right back out because the need is so great, but the sheep are so few.
Brethren, is this the time when the love of many has waxed cold? Our brethren are suffering (literally starving) and it should not be. Where is the grape vine in the church these days? If others in the church of God only knew of the suffering, they would help. I’ve tried over and over to make others aware of our suffering brethren’s cry for help. But I can’t get past the door. In John’s time there was only one Diotrephes, but today, there are many. (3 John 1:9). There is a very short report that I wrote after first visiting our African Brethren back in 2005. It not only elaborates on the condition of the church back, but also why the condition remains the same today. The link is: https://khofh.com/why-support-us/ .
I hope to add to this Update in the up coming days. But for now let me end, and get it posted. I hope those who can assist, will continue to do so. And please don’t get weary in well doing. The work we are involved in is a good work. Its the godly thing to do. Our Lord said: “The poor we will have with us always.” So let us continue to help them. And the “Pure and undefiled religion” spoken of by James, is still “To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one self unspotted from the world.“
Thank You.
