| Haron, our orphanage administrator, was involved in a car accident, and has died from his injuries. A friend of his (a man who also headed a small orphanage) was driving and was killed instantly. Haron was 34 years old, and a very humble man; we have worked together for many years. I liked him a lot. He was arrested more times than I can remember, (and “never” for doing anything bad.) One time a jailer decided to handcuff one of his arms to the top of a window frame, and by morning his wrist was nearly cut into (it was torture.) He was also often beat up in jail, and usually had to be hospitalized after being released to treat his wounds. Another time Haron and I were arrested together, and as we sat there on the dirty cement jailhouse floor, he said to me: “Bill you better try to contact the American Embassy in Nairobi, because it looks like we going to have a rough night”. And on top of all that, Haron had one of the worst types of Leukemia. And he rarely (actually never) complained about any of the rough times he endured. He was also a good husband to his wife Dorcah, and a good father to his two young children. The orphans at Sengera House also loved Haron due to his love and caring for all of them. Haron was persecuted so much, I wonder if God took him now to spare him from the persecution that is ahead for the rest of us, as this evil age comes to an end. I hope to update you soon. For now, let us pray “Thy Kingdom Come” because so many are suffering all around this world. ——————————————————————————————————– See William P.
