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 lessen 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 that the return of our Lord is aproaching, 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. We also had to pay for the upcoming exams for every child who is in school. The first term is about to end.
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.
(Its now Sabbath March 21, 2026. I just received word that they are completely out of food. everyone slept last night with empty stomachs. Please help if you can. We have been making a lot of progress, but it takes time to get ahead. Let us also pray for our Heavenly Father to touch the hearts of others, to also help, because the need is great amongst these poor brethren of ours. If others only knew of the suffering, they too would help.)
It is now Monday March 23, 2026. We were able to send Dauglas some funds yesterday. So he purchased the ingredients and made porridge. Again he had to feed the orphans in their beds. They had no strength to get up. I asked him for a picture and he sent the one below, and a short letter of thanks.
That’s Peter that Dauglas is feeding, and Mercy standing at his feet. They are the two youngest orphans. But all of them are weak, and will need to be fed.
“Dear Pastor Bill,
I hope you are doing well and that the Lord continues to strengthen you in your ministry. I greet you with much love and gratitude from our congregation here in Kenya. We always thank God for you and for the support you have faithfully given to us over the years.
We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to you and all the good donors who have been supporting us. Their kindness and generosity have truly made a great difference in the lives of these children. As you know, times have been extremely stressful the past couple of Months.
Thank you so much for your continued love, care, and concern for the children in our congregation. We are deeply grateful because you and the donors who have been supporting us have faithfully stood with us for a long time. May God richly bless each one of you for your compassion and generosity.
Many of these children came to our congregation through their parents, who were encouraged and strengthened by our Sabbath teachings and the Word of God. Sadly, over time, a number of these parents passed away due to illness and other difficult circumstances, leaving their children without care.
In most cases, there were no relatives able to take responsibility for them, so they remained with us as part of our spiritual family. Because of this, we felt it was our responsibility before God to take them in and care for them.
Today, we are raising them as our own children providing food, shelter, guidance, and spiritual teaching. Your support, together with that of the donors who have been supporting us, has given them hope, stability, and a future.
We deeply appreciate everything you have done and continue to do for them. Your generosity is a true blessing to these children and to our ministry.
May God continue to bless you and all the donors abundantly.
Kind regards,
Pastor Dauglas Henry.”
Brethren, when their parents are resurrected, they will be forever grateful to you for caring for their children. Its the right thing to do. And your good works continue to glorify our Heavenly Father. God bless each and every one of you.
For now, we continue to struggle to keep them alive. Its now Tuesday, March 24, 2026, and not only are the orphans at the Getionko congregation starving, all of our orphans, and widows and brethren are starving right now. If you can help, please help. Times are once again dire.
Its now Tuesday March 31, 2026. Thanks to the additional donations that have come in, everyone is still surviving. Also, the first term has ended, and Schools have now closed. The children will be home for approximately one Month. May our Almighty Father bless all of you who have been supporting. We pray that your do not get weary in helping, because the orphans and widows still need our help. (Galatians 6:9). We are struggling to keep them fed with porridge.
I have posted an update on current conditions amongst our impoverished brethren, Its at the bottom of the “Donor Letter” dated April 3, 2026. The link is: https://khofh.com/donor-letter-april-3-2026/:
Sincerely.
