“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.” (Revelation 15:2).
Greetings Brethren,
Those six words “Them that had gotten the victory” come from only one Greek word, Strong’s # G3528 “victor” “overcome.” Its the same word our Lord used when He told us (all seven churches in Revelation chapters 2 & 3) “To him that overcometh” (Strong’s # G3528) I will give this, and grant that. How fortunate we are to have been given His Powerful Holy Spirit, the Power needed to succeed at overcoming. Those who utilize that Power of His will be there, meeting our Lord up in the clouds at His return, and standing before Him, on that “Sea of Glass”. (Revelation 15:2).
I am happy to report that thanks to your prayers and support, our orphans, widows, and impoverished E. African brethren are doing better. Gardens are growing, and some supplies are now in their cupboards. Yes, your support continues to help them a lot, and your good works continue to glorify our Heavenly Father.
Thanks to your support, most (if not all) have been planting seeds, and have gardens growing.

There are a few more gardens growing now, but I don’t have pictures yet. Hope to post more, as soon as they come in. The brethren are so thankful for your continued help. As you can see, progress continues to be made.
I received the following letter from Dauglas:
“Dear Pastor Bill and Our Beloved Donors,
Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
On behalf of the Getionko Group, I would like to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude for your faithful and ongoing support. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion have been a tremendous blessing to the poor, the orphans, and the widows under our care.
Your continued support has helped provide food, medical care, clothing, and other essential needs for those who are most vulnerable. Through your generosity, many lives have been touched, hope has been restored, and God’s love has been demonstrated in a practical way.
Your faithful support is a beautiful example of agape love—God’s unconditional, selfless, and sacrificial love in action. By caring for the poor, the orphans, and the widows, you are living out the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and bringing hope to those who need it most.
We are truly grateful for your partnership with the Getionko Group and for standing with us as we continue serving our community. Your generosity is not only meeting physical needs but also sharing the love of Christ with those who are suffering.
May the Lord bless you abundantly, protect you and your families, grant you good health, fill your hearts with peace and joy, and reward you for every act of kindness. We pray that He will continue to multiply your resources and strengthen you as you faithfully serve His Kingdom.
Please accept our heartfelt thanks, Pastor Bill, and kindly convey our deepest gratitude to all our beloved donors. We appreciate every one of you more than words can express, and we continually remember you in our prayers. May the Lord richly bless each of you for your faithful partnership with the Getionko Group.
May the love of Christ continue to unite us in faith, strengthen our fellowship, and inspire us to serve one another with humble and joyful hearts until He comes again.
With heartfelt gratitude and prayers,
Dauglas Henry”

John still cannot stand straight due to the beatings he endured while being incarcerated a few Months back. As I often mention, life for our brethren living in these 3rd world countries, consists of a lot of suffering. Even Nehemiah was once again arrested last week. But thanks to prayers, he was only held for one day, and then released. And NO bribe was paid. We thank our Heavenly Father for answering our prayers.
Sengera Children.
I hope to add to this update in the next few days, as more pictures come in. For now, we thank you for continuing to support our impoverished brethren. May our Almighty Father Bless each and every one of you abundantly. And may He keep you, and protect you in times of trouble. (Psalm 41:1). And we are living at the time when Much trouble is in the forecast. (Matthew 24:21). But “Jacob” (which means “supplanter”) shall be saved out of it. (Jeremiah 30:7).
Thank You.

Greetings once again, it’s now Sunday July 26. I was hoping to post some more photo’s of our brethren’s gardens, but none have come in yet. Most don’t have smart phones, so we usually pay someone to take pictures. But currently our funds are once again depleted. As funds come in, they go right back out, because the need is great amongst our impoverished brethren, and the laborer’s are still few.
I just received this picture from Dauglas, it was taken today, July 26, 2026:
Getionko Congregation Orphans.
Brethren, we need your prayers. the work we are involved in, is a good work. You donations continue to support our widows and orphans. Its that “pure religion” spoken of by James in (James 1:27). And the Gospel of repentance continues to be preached. But it takes funds to operate. We don’t have many donors. Most brethren don’t even know that our impoverished brethren are suffering. If others only knew of the suffering, they would help. So please continue to inform others of the need. And let us pray for the “Lord of the Harvest” to send forth more laborers. (Matthew 9:37-38).
I just received the following note from Dauglas: “Hi, I humbly request that, if you are able, you could help us with KSh 17,690 Kenya Schillings (approximately $136.) to buy some food to keep our orphans and widows alive. Many of them are severely hungry and are struggling a lot.”
Their gardens are growing, but harvest is still Months away. John Magara, has also just reported to me that his orphans are once again without food. So please continue to help, if you can.
We thank you once again for supporting our suffering congregations, especially the Orphans and Widows. Life for our brethren living in these 3rd world countries, can be so horrible, and it’s horrendous for many, if not most. I just spoke to some of our brethren in the “Great Rift Valley” area. They too are suffering. They have gardens, but the harvest will not be good. No sufficient Raine in three Months, so they are also sleeping hungry.
Your funds are helping so much, and progress is being made. But help is still needed. So Please pray for me to be a better steward, and for all of us to be lead by His Spirit. The end of this age is upon us brethren. Soon, the Bride of Christ will have made herself ready. After that, all hell will break out, because at that time, Satan will be cast down to this earth. Why, why at that time will Satan be cast down? As it says the Bride will have made herself ready. (Revelation 12:7-14).
Let us hope, and let us pray that we will be accounted worthy to escape what is coming. (Luke 21:36). And let us remember, its those who had accomplished overcoming, who will be “standing” there on that Sea of Glass. (Revelation 15:2) Will we be among them?
Thank You.
Bill Goff.

On Saturday August 1, 2026. Concerning the last letter I sent out informing that Nehemiah was arrested. We owed a small hospital bill for one widow, and two orphans who were hospitalized for starvation. They arrested Nehemiah, and threw him in a jail cell with 40 inmates. He said the smell made you want to vomit. Kenya jails are horrible, no furniture, no chairs, only a dirty cement floor to sit and sleep on. No bathroom, but a bucket, is passed around when needed. Also some of the inmates are murderers. But, thanks to your prayers, Nehemiah was not injured, and released that night. Thanks to your prayers, and some immediate help from a few, we were able to pay half the bill, and they decided to free him, but demanded the balance paid within 2 days. We thank you for those prayers. Prayers are of utmost importance. The troubles, and suffering for so many around this world is severe. The top of our prayer list needs to be “Thy Kingdom Come.”
Its now Sunday August 2, 2026. I just received word from Dauglas, that the situation of twelve of his orphans and one of his widows has once again become dire. They need more help brethren. Please continue to help if you can. And please continue to pray. Especially for the leaders there. Nehemiah, Dauglas, and John Magara are constantly under threat of being arrested. The Government will not lift a finger to help the starving, but if something goes wrong, they are quick to arrested you. In that country, your are punished if you do good. This reminds me of (Isaiah 5:20). (Additional funds did come in, and we were able to get the orphans fed with porridge.
Thursday August 6, 2026. I just received the following from Dauglas: “Sometimes this situation becomes overwhelming and fills my heart with so much stress. I constantly worry about the orphans and widows because they depend on us for their daily needs. As of tomorrow, we have nothing left to feed them. Our food and supplies have run out once again, and I truly don’t know what to do. It is heartbreaking to see them go hungry, especially knowing they are looking to us for help. I am praying that God will make a way and touch the hearts of those who are able to help us during this difficult time. Dauglas.”
Thanks again to those of you who continue to help our struggling orphans and widows. Thanks to you, everyone’s gardens are doing well. We are hoping for a good harvest. May our Almighty Father bless you abundantly.

Latest Donor Letter August 9, 2026 https://khofh.com/donor-letter-august-9-2026/
Donor Letter August 14, 2026:
Greetings Brethren,
I hope and pray that you are well, as we patiently await the return of our Lord and Savior. The increasing troubles around this world will not end until the Kingdom of God is finally established here on earth. Let us pray for that Kingdom to come soon, because many are suffering, and some horrendously.
In my last letter dated August 9, 2026 I noted that Dauglas’ wife Judy was arrested due to an unpaid hospital bill for young orphan Alex who was attacked by a rabies dog. I am happy to report that thanks to your help, Judy has been released from jail, (and with only minor injuries after being assaulted by another inmate) and Alex is now discharged and home.
Widow Margaret is still in the hospital and still sleeping on the Hospital floor with orphan Thomas who was suffering from Pneumonia. We have been struggling to keep them fed. As I previously mentioned, the Hospital does not feed their patients, it’s the responsibility of a family member or friend.
Also, John Magara is still in the Hospital, and his orphans are sleeping hungry.
Brethren, as previously mentioned in some of the past Updates, we are going through one of the roughest time since I first traveled to Kenya back in 2005. I feel that Satan is attacking us.
I just received the following from Dauglas:
“Hello Pastor, I want to let you know that the orphans and widows are going through a very difficult time right now. Some of the orphans have gone to the river to wash their clothes, but others are hungry and weak, and home, lying in bed without the strength to do anything. Please keep us in your prayers.”
Getionko Orphan’s Washing Clothes.
Now progress is being made, I hope you saw the wonderful pictures in my previous letter of the gardens, and how well they are growing? https://khofh.com/donor-letter-august-9-2026/
The problem continues to be the same, the need is great, but the donors are few. Please continue to help if you can, and please inform others of the suffering.
And please continue to pray for our overseers, they are constantly under the threat of arrest. Even now the authorities are demanding some minor repairs need to be made at Sengera House camp, but we are once again out of funds. If we don’t address the issue soon, Nehemiah will once again be arrested.
Sincerely.

Donor Letter August 16, 2026.
Greetings once again Brethren,
In my last letter dated August 14, 2026 I reported on how our Kenyan Brethren have been going through a very difficult time. Now, I want to update you.
Widow Margaret is no longer sleeping on the Hospital floor; she was arrested and is now in jail, sleeping on the jail floor. The boy is still on the Hospital floor.
John Magara is still in the Hospital, and Dauglas’ orphans are still sleeping hungry. (Some are on the verge of death from starvation.) Dauglas is texting me right now, stating that some of the orphans are too weak to even speak.
Now, to top all this, Nehemiah was arrested yesterday (Sabbath morning) he spent all of yesterday, last night, and part of today locked up. We were able to inform some of you, and thanks to your prayers, he was just released. We found out why he was arrested. Apparently, we owed a fee for some school assignments for one of the orphans, but hadn’t paid it. They have now given us three days to pay the school assignment, or he will be back in jail.
Now some have given up on helping these widows and orphans, while others have continued to go above and beyond. It troubles me deeply to have to inform you of all this suffering that our impoverished poor brethren are enduring. I feel I’m a very bad steward. But the need is legit, and 100% of all donations go to our suffering brethren. I pray every day, asking our Heavenly Father and our Lord, to guide me, and lead me to distribute the funds properly. But, as I always say “The needs of our brethren over there, is great, but very few are aware of their suffering, and very few are helping.
Please continue to pray about this situation, and please continue to help IF you can. (1 John 3:17). We are living at a time when the love of many “has” waxed cold. And most importantly let us pray “Thy Kingdom Come”. Some of us are living quite comfortably, but others are suffering horrendously, and continue to need our help.
Its now Sunday August 23, 2026. On Friday night August 21, Nehemiah was once again arrested. We owed for some school examination fees that were past due, but didn’t have the funds to pay them. He spent most of Sabbath in jail, but after much praying, he was released. He then spent the remainder of Sabbath in the hospital being treated for injuries he sustained while incarcerated. The suffering Nehemiah endures is remarkable, and his attitude is quite commendable. I myself have had a taste of Kenyan jails a coupe of times, but I never had to endure the treatment he has often times been exposed to.
Now as bad and as sad as this situation is, its not hopeless. Many of God’s children have endured much suffering. But we must not loose hope. Remember (Romans 8:28) says: “We know that “all” things work together for good to them that love God (and loving God is a matter of keeping His commandments) to them who are the “called” according to His purpose.” And Paul tells us in (2 Timothy 3:12) that “all that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”
Brethren, please don’t get weary in well doing. The help you have been giving our suffering brethren has helped them tremendously, and progress continues to be made. All of their gardens are growing quite well, and will help them tremendously once harvest begins. But for now, they need more help. Hunger is still prevalent, and their afflictions are still many. John Magara is still in Hospital sleeping on the floor, and sleeping hungry. I spoke to him short time ago. He reminded me that his wife, his children, and the eight orphans they care for, are also sleeping hungry. They’re actually starving to death as we speak. Likewise with Dauglas and the 20 orphans and 5 widows in the Getionko congregation, they also are suffering severely, and sleeping hungry. Times are really rough right now. Yes, the gardens are growing well, but it took funds to purchase the seeds and other things needed in planting.
Brethren, we are doing the right thing in helping them, its that pure and undefiled religion spoken of by James in (Jame 1:27). The help you are giving them continues to be wonderful. But let us continue to inform others in God’s church, of the dire situation, and ask them to join hands with us. The majority BY FAR of the brethren in the church have no clue of our impoverished brethren’s suffering. If they only know, they would immediately help. But getting past their pulpits, getting past their “leaders” and informing the brethren in those congregations of the suffering, will take a miracle. Men have the church divided into hundreds of separate groups. But don’t be fooled by men. In God s eyes, there are only two groups out there, yes two. The wise and the foolish, the sheep and the goats. Which group one resides in, is ones own choice.
So please, continue to help them, There are also four still in school, and the next semester starts in just a few day. If the school fees are not paid, Nehemiah will once again be incarcerated. And let us remember that helping our poor brethren brings blessings. (Psalm 41:1) says: “Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will help him in time of trouble.” And (1 John 3:17) says: “But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother hath need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him. how dweleth the love of God in him?”
We thank God for those of you who continued to help, Your donations have been keeping them physically alive. As for their Spiritual condition, they remain the same as James told us, Rich in Faith (James 2:5). May our Almighty Father bless you abundantly.
Thank you,
Bill Goff
