Our Kenyan Brethren are going through a very rough time. As I mentioned in a recent “open letter to the churches of God” https://khofh.com/open-letter-to-the-churches-of-god-january-6-2024/ Starvation amongst our brethren is worse now than I’ve ever seen it since first visiting Kenya back in 2005. We lost one widow and two orphans to starvation in the past few weeks. And today I was informed that another widow aged 64 from the boarder group died this morning. She was living with John Moseti, a 12-year-old orphan. The boy is still alive, but also close to death from starvation. These are terrible times, so many of our brethren are currently starving to death. I received the following from Douglas (the overseer at the Getionko congregation) yesterday: “Hello pastor, I trust this message finds you well. I wanted to share with you the challenges our brethren are facing in our group. This week, I’ve been receiving numerous calls for help, and today, several individuals came to my house seeking food assistance. I’m currently out of food supplies and, despite my efforts, I couldn’t provide for them. During a visit to six families on a motorbike, I discovered that some are residing in empty houses without access to food, while others were asleep at noon, due to weakness and distress. Please help if possible, or we will be burying more soon. Douglas” Brethren, the condition is dire. Please continue to help if you can. And please try to inform others of the situation. If only a few others would join hands with us, the suffering would ease significantly. Bill Goff Two recent deaths from the boarder group orphans. ——————————————————————————————————– See William P.
