Greetings Brethren.
I want to thank all of you for your prayers. Thanks to your prayers, and financial support. Quite a few crops are now growing, as you will see in this report. We also have a good testament to report on. As some of you know, Nehemiah was arrested a few days ago, and the authorities were demanding 25,000 Kenya Schillings (approx. $200.00) to release him. He was treated quite harshly the first day, then given the opportunity to be freed on the second day, IF he paid the funds.
But, thanks to your prayers, he was set free the following day. And no bribe was paid. He was also unharmed physically this time. We thank our Heavenly Father for that, He clearly intervened. Please pray for all of our leaders there, because they are under threat of arrested always.
In Kenya, being arrested is no rarity. All of our brethren, know the taste of incarceration all too well. Life in 3rd world countries is no picnic, it consists of a lot of suffering. (Some more than others.) In countries like Kenya, our brethren’s suffering, sometimes become relentless.
Let me remind you, (as I have mentioned before) in that part of the world, suffering can become so horrific, that young men (teenagers actually) were committing suicide by hanging themselves. Why? Because they couldn’t bear with the suffering of oppression, and the stomach pains of starvation.
We all have plenty to pray for, but the top of the list should be “Thy Kingdom Come” because the suffering around this world is not going to end until God’s Kingdom arrives. In the meantime, let us be sheep, helping even the least of our brethren. And let us continue practicing that pure religion spoken of by James in (James 1:27) (Matthew 25:40). Your donations are helping so much to ease their suffering. Please don’t get weary in well doing. There have been no additional deaths from starvation in the past two weeks, thanks to your prayers and support. But still struggling, remember, harvesting hasn’t begun yet.
Some of the remote widows and orphans have now begun planting gardens, thanks to your help, we provided three groups so far with seeds. As you can see in the pictures below, our brethren are hard workers.
They dug and planted this entire field by hand, and they thank you for helping them with the seeds. They are struggling so hard to get ahead.
They have also dug and prepared this field. 1/2 is already planted with Wheat. But they lack seeds to plant the second half. Let us help them if we can.
First one-acre Bananas Garden After Cultivating.
This first one-acre garden of bananas is doing quite well. We are now needing to cultivate the second one-acre banana garden. I applied for a grant from “Lifenets” out of Australia. I requested funds to both cultivate Banana garden number “two”, and also plow, plant, and cultivate banana garden number “three”. Their board meeting will be soon, so please pray for their approval. It will be a big help to our impoverished brethren, to have more crops to begin harvesting.
Garden number two, awaiting cultivating.
John Magara’s children, of whom most are orphans.
John continues to struggle due to lack of food, he and his orphans are once again sleeping hungry. (I’m now hearing today, July 2, 2026) that they are literally starving right now, both Magara’s house and Dauglas’ house. Times are tough there, worse than ever. They need a little extra help right now, if you can help them, please do so. Our two congregations consists of many orphans. All of our brethren care for orphan. Why? Because they have that “Agape” Love of the Father living in them. It’s such a beautiful thing, to see “leaders” like Nehemiah, Douglas and John Magara, putting their lives out for their brethren, before their own life. There was only a few back in Paul’s time (Actually at one point, only one, Timothy) who put the cares of others first. (Philippians 2:19-21). Others, like Demas, who once walked with Paul, decided to go back into the world. (2 Timothy 4:10) .
These three men (And other servants, like Bernard) have developed the character of our Heavenly Father. You can see it in their behavior, in their actions, in the love they have for their brethren, and in the suffering they endure in helping them. It’s the Character of our Father. The Holy Righteous Character, that our Creator is developing in all of those He has chosen. And all of these men suffer a lot, same as their brethren, because the need is great.
Now some feel that (Matthew 9:37-38) doesn’t apply to us, because they say we are not preaching the Gospel, or being persecuted. Yet our Lord says that “All” who live godly in Christ Jesus “shall” suffer persecutions. These brethren of ours here are the poor of this world, the ones who our Lord says are “Rich in Faith”. They are true believers, and they are both persecuted, and they are suffering. We need to continue helping them. All of your donations reach the target. And we pray every day for our Lord to guide us in all that we do, especially in the distribution of funds.
Now concerning the preaching of the Gospel, and the importance of walking in truth. We definitely qualify as heretics here (compared to what is normally taught and preached.) Yes, this may be heresy. But not because our beliefs, or teachings are fables, but on the contrary. It’s the majority whose beliefs consists of some fables, in these end times in which we are living. And according to Peter, “many” are even believing, and following some damnable heresies. (2 Peter 2:1-2). 1st Peter deals with problems from the outside, but 2nd Peter deals with problems on the inside. Peter’s words apply to us, today, the end time church of God. Please read (2 Peter 2:1-2 in its proper “present” tense.
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there (are) false teachers among you, who privily (Have brought in) damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth (is) evil spoken of. “
Brethren, this is quite a accusation being made here. I hope you take the time to see if it is valid, and don’t just brush it off. Correct doctrine (Truth) is very important. Truth, is what identifies the one and only true church of the “living” God. (1 Timothy 3:15).
Truth is also required to properly worship the Father. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him, Must Strong’s # G1163 – necessary – behooved. Must worship Him in Spirit, and in Truth. (John 4:23-24).
But, we are living at the time when “The way of Truth is evil spoken of: ( 2 Peter 2:2).
If we have His Spirit in us, and if we study, to prove all things, like we are instructed to do, then we have no excuse to be following any false doctrines, because there is a sure way to prove if our beliefs (the doctrines we follow) are correct or incorrect. Let us not forget . Truth (correct doctrine, correct beliefs) requires searching for “evidence”. (2 Timothy 3:16). A step that many in God’s church neglect to do.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, (God Breathe) and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
That word “reproof” is Strong’s # G1650 meaning evidence. We need Scriptural proof, Scriptural “evidence” that supports all of our beliefs. And the Scriptural evidence is there, the clear and correct doctrines are there, and often times quite easy to see, if we just believe what the Holy Scriptures say, instead of just relying on the teachings of men.
We need “Faith” brethren, but we need the right kind of “Faith”. We need to get back to that “faith once delivered to the saints” spoken of by Jude. (Jude 1:3). Many pulpits still teach that we have already accomplished that, they say we have already gotten back to that faith, that depth of belief. But that is not true brethren. Let us understand something that is very important concerning faith, and how to get back to the correct faith, the faith when the “signs follow” the miracles were present.
Let us understand something here. Faith and Belief go hand in hand, But Faith Comes Before Belief. Yes, faith comes “before” beliefs. You see faith is Strong’s # G4102 meaning “persuasion”. One is persuaded to believe, what one believes. The problem in the “church” is that too many have gotten their persuasion, concerning what they believe, from men, instead of from the Holy Scriptures. Too often we hear: “Mr. so and so said this, and Mr. so and so said that. What we need to be hearing is: “Scripture such and such says this, and Scripture such and such says that. There is a strong warning given to all of us in God’s church, when it comes to following men. (Matthew 15:14). Being lead into “All” truth, is not the job of any man, its the job of His Holy Spirit, the “Spirit of Truth“. (John 16:13). This “Spirit of Truth” is there to guide us into all truth, and will even show His church, His ekklesia, what is coming.
Fortunately, some are studying, and proving all things. Some have a love for the Truth. But when they raise a red flag concerning some erroneous doctrine that is being taught and believed, they are shunned, rejected, and labeled a heretic. And instructed by the pulpits not to even listen to what they have to say. Brethren, heresy is not necessarily a bad thing. Paul was called a heretic, and he was proud of it. (Acts 24:14). Heresy is just a teaching or belief that is contrary to what is normally taught. Brethren, we need not fear heresy, its “damnable” heresy that we need to steer clear of. And, according to Peter, many are following those pernicious ways. Exactly what Peter predicted almost 2,000 years ago. (2 Peter 2:1-2).
Getionko’s Children and Orphans Eating.
It is so wonderful to see them on their feet, and being nourished with food, thanks to you donors. But they are still surviving on only porridge, and still close to death. As I said, its a struggle to get ahead. Please pray for our Heavenly Father, to guide us and direct us with His Spirit. Let us learn and walk in all of His ways, and become humble. To love Him by keeping His commandments. If we do just that, He will care for all of our needs. (Matthew 6:33). Yes, we need to seek both His Kingdom, and His Righteousness, and He will provide. But let us also remember, when some are in need, we need to help them if we can. (1John3:17). And help is needed.
Getionko Children, most of whom are orphans.
We are doing our best to get ahead. But (as mentioned above) we are still struggling. Once they start harvesting, things will be better. But for now, help is still needed. And remember, there are 41 orphans total in both congregations. They are precious, and we love them, and they live on the most downtrodden continent in the world, Africa.
Now we try to teach them about the ways of God, the Sabbath day, the Holy days. And the keeping of His commandments. Yes, there is Spiritual food that needs to be shared, But our need for the loaves and the fishes to be multiplied, is dire. Most continue to sleep hungry. Please consider Joining hands with us, and our steady donors who have been going above and beyond, for some time. We need to nourish these brethren of ours, both physically and Spiritually. Please help us (if you can). (If you have questions, our contacts are listed below.)
Sengera Congregation children.
Grandma Margaret and Kevin Making Porridge.
Let me end for now. May our Almighty Father Bless all of you abundantly, for the help you have been given these orphans, widows, and impoverished brethren of ours. We thank you for your love and compassion. We especially thank you for your prayers, and PLEASE don’t stop praying now, because prayers are surely needed. I don’t thank you often enough. And please, if you can, please continue to help, because the need is great, the suffering is sill severe, but we are close to being back on our feet.
I have been advised by some to stop asking for money to help these impoverished brethren of ours. Brethren, all that I can assure you, is that the cause and need of our brethren is genuine, the cry for help is sincere, and all of your donations reach the target. And I ask you for your prayers (as I often do) to be a better steward, and to become humble, and for all of us to be led by His Holy Spirit. Brethren. these are our brethren, they are part of the “Household of Faith” (Galatians 6:9-10) And they are still crying out for help. As I mentioned in recent letters, current suffering amongst these brethren of our is the worst I’ve seen since my feet were first on the ground back in 2005. So please continue to help them (if you can.) Most of our donors, have already been going above and beyond from the start. Let us pray for others to lend a helping hand, because right now, it is surely needed.
For any who are new, our update page documents the work we are involved in, and goes back to 2005. (The links are below). The gospel of repentance is being preached, and the flock that is amongst us, is being fed. And most importantly, we are doing our best to fulfill (James 1:27).
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world”.
Thank You.
