Kenya Update

And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, (this was the weekly Sabbath, during the Feast of Unleavened Bread,) that He went through the corn fields; and His disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? Luke 6:1.
Greetings Brethren,
Your African Brethren send you their Highest Greetings. They thank you for the wonderful help you have been giving them. Your good works continue to Glorify our Heavenly Father. Our impoverished brethren continue striving to get on their feet, and they thank you for your continued help.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Passover, and Feast of Unleavened Bread. The Passover was held on the 14th day of the first Month here in Kenya. Pictured below are the baptized members of the Sengera Congregation. Nehemiah kept the Passover here also; he is the one taking the pictures and video.

Here we are now, counting to our Feast, the Feast of First-Fruits, Pentecost. The last Spring Feast. The day His first-fruits will become spirit beings, living in the Kingdom of God. What exciting times we are living in, as our Lord brings to completion the building of His church. He started building His ekklesia almost two thousand years ago. Now, He’s in the process of completing His house, His church.
The counting to Pentecost has a “Lot” of significance. You can see that just by considering the “Rich Meaning” of the word “count” used in (Leviticus 23:15).
“Count” here means “to score with a mark as a tally or a record.” (God keeps a record – a book of life, and a book of remembrance.) The word also means: “To count a flock.” “To Enumerate”. That means to “Name One by One.” That’s what our Creator does with the stars in the sky as they come out at night, one by one, He counts them, and names them. Those stars in the sky represent us brethren, His first-fruits.
This counting to Pentecost has to do with our being ready for our Lord’s return. But the church today, doesn’t understand the meaning, and purpose of this counting to Pentecost, so the count seems insignificant to them. the song leader just mentions the number we are in each week at Sabbath services, but that’s about it.
The “count” may be insignificant to some, but it’s far from being insignificant to God. We have a short Scriptural study on that titled; “The Rest of the Story”. (Its quite an eye opener.)The link is below.
Bananas in their eight week.
Our two one-acre gardens of bananas are growing okay. Also, our impoverished brethren have been tilling another one-acre garden (pictured below) and tilling the hard way, with an Ox.
Another One-Acre Garden Ready for Planting.
The brethren plowed this acre garden with an Ox. As they continue to strive to get ahead. We need to try to help them with seeds. Once they begin harvesting, the bananas, and other crops, they will become food sufficient. But currently they are still in need of our help, some still sleeping hungry. The funds coming in are helping them so much, but there are many orphans and widow’s here, with many afflictions. So please continue to help them, You are a true blessing to them.
Concerning Schools:
We have 20 of our children (mostly orphans) that never returned to school last week to begin the 2nd term. We didn’t have the funds to pay their school fees. Although we did pay for “Home School Lessons” for Mildred and Lucy (pictured below.) These two girls will graduate High School this year. But the others are going to have to wait before they can move forward in school. They need to continue to strive to walk upright, and He will provide. (Matthew 6:33).
Lucy and Mildred.
Jemima has been doing some very good volunteer work at a school in Kenya. Her authorities were so pleased with her work; they have given her a scholarship for further education. Our Creator continues to bless for obedience.
Nehemiah has been going without glasses for about six Months now. It’s been very difficult for him. But we were finally able to purchase him a pair today. James also needed glasses, and is now wearing, prescription glasses. Your donations continue to help our orphans in so many ways.
Nehemiah and James.
James Studying.

James had a dream since he was a young child, he wanted to become a nurse, and help people. Thanks to you donors, his dream is becoming reality. James is a wonderful godly young man. Soon to be a Nurse.
Sengera Congregation.
Once again, Brethren, we thank you from the bottom of our heart for continuing to help these orphans and widows. Its the pure and undefiled religion before God, and the Father. (James 1:27). He also tells those who consider the poor, that He will deliver them in time of trouble (Psalm 41:1). John also reminds us that “whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?” (1 John 3:17). Your donations continue to ease their suffering , but we are still struggling to get ahead, still in need for others to join hands with us in helping. Some of our orphans and widows are still sleeping hungry, even again tonight. The need is Great, but those helping are few. Let us continue to pray to the Lord of the Harvest. (Matthew 9:37-38) (Luke 10:1-2).
Thank You.
