The “New” Church of God Messenger – Issue #172 – May 18, 2024

Letter from William P. Goff (May 5, 2024) Greetings Brethren, Thanks to you donors, we were able to cover the expenses to bury Haron, hold the Feast of Unleavened Bread (where we supplied food to all the widows and orphans during the entire Feast.) And on top of that, we paid half the orphan’s school fees for the upcoming semester that will begin Monday May 6, 2024. (Half is still due.) But currently our funds are now depleted. So, we continue praying to our Creator.   Donor Letter with working video link: https://khofh.com/donor-letter-may-3-2024/ Website: KHOFH – Kenya Hands of Hope   E-mail: goffb50@aol.com Phone: 843-447-0140   Thank You, Bill Goff     Letter from M.

I close with Numbers 6:24-27. Your humble servant of YAHWEH ELDER. M.SRIKANTH. INDIA   Response: We have no idea what you have sent to us that we have not either printed or responded to. As I told you before, we are primarily a newsletter. We do not collect money from anyone for any purpose so therefore we do not have the money to send to you for any purpose. The only printed material we have is our newsletter, which you already receive. We do understand that you may be struggling but we are not a church group that helps with food or booklets to people in other countries. We also do not go to other countries to set up church groups. When we give things to people we give locally. We have donated to local food pantries, to local animal shelters and individuals that can use items we no longer need or want. With that said we sincerely hope that someone in your local area will see fit to help you with your needs or perhaps those reading this newsletter can also put you on their mailing list to send you magazines or booklets. If anyone can help M. Sir Kanth with food, books, magazines or anything contact us, and I will give you what contact information we have. Laura Lee     Letter from William P. Goff (May 7, 2024) Starving Brethren We still have some starving brethren that are crying for help.  I don’t know if you could possibly help by giving this letter some exposure.   I received the following from Douglas (The overseer of the Getionko congregation in Kenya) today:   “Our brethren have been suffering from extreme hunger. As of today, they have not had anything to eat, and the situation is only worsening. I have received numerous calls and messages pleading for help. Some of our brethren are not only hungry but also seriously ill, confined to their beds and too weak to even stand or work.   Personally, I have been surviving solely on hot water since Monday, and many others are in similar circumstances.   I humbly request your fervent prayers for us during this trying time. We believe in the power of prayer to bring comfort and relief.   Please keep us in your prayers as we navigate through this challenging period.   Yours in faith, Dauglas Ogendo.”   Thank you, Bill Goff     Letter from Elijah M. Osiemo (May 7, 2024) Dear Laura Lee,  Praise God!  We are thankful for your prayer support. Truly Kenya we are in need of much of your prayers both spiritual and physical needs. We are starving in the word of God. Please help us with the Bibles and any other literature materials, for the nourishment of our souls.  Blessings.  Pastor Elijah.    Response: We are primarily a newsletter, and we will continue to send you our newsletter, but we do not send money or books out to others because we don’t collect money from anyone for that purpose. I am sure that most everyone who sees this will pray for you. Laura Lee     Letter from Royce Mitchell (May 8, 2024) Bill (Goff) should modify his requests with some sort of direction on how people can help. Royce Mitchell

The “New” Church of God Messenger – Issue #171 – May 11, 2024

Letter from Elijah M. Osiemo (March 31, 2024) Dear brethren, praise God! Thank you for your Newsletter. I am a Sunday worshipper, and I have realized that I am lost, and I need to confess and repent, so I request to partner with you to change my Church to Sabbath keeping which is on Saturday. I was misled by Bible scripture from the Book of Colossians 2:16-17 new international version. But viewing King James Version the original translation, I found that the interpretation of New international version is the wrong one. Please accept me to come home. Blessings, pastor Elijah.   Response: We are primarily a newsletter. If you want to submit articles you have written for print, we will look at them for consideration to print. If you have questions, we would be happy to answer them in our newsletter, that way perhaps others could help you transition from Sunday to Saturday worship. Laura Lee     Letter from Kasuba Manad (April 21, 2024) PSALMS 41:12 Dearest of our Lord Jesus Christ, SISTER LAURA LEE, Warmest Christian greetings to each one of you, your beloved families and all the little flocks at your Church in the Precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Myself, my beloved families, the Orphans under my care and all the little flocks at our Home Church are greeting each one of you with so much Christian love!   How are you and your beloved families? I hope and trust you are doing well, and our good Lord Jesus Christ is looking after you well. It has been really a long time since I last heard from you.   The situation in our Country is becoming unbearable. Our Country is facing a food shortage. ZAMBIA is facing the threat of food insecurity following a long drought caused by the El Nino weather. Half the Country’s fields are destroyed due to a long dry spell the country is facing. The price of food skyrocketed starting in 2022 up to this year.   I am here humbly requesting you in the Precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, if you can assist our Orphans with funds for food. The Bible says in 1 JOHN 3:1718 “But 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? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but indeed and in truth” Also in PROV 19:17 “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given which he hath given will he pay him again”   I will continue to pray for you, your beloved families, all the little flocks at your church and God’s work you are faithfully doing. Please continue to pray for me, my beloved families, the Orphans under my care and God’s work you are faithfully doing.   It is more encouraging to hear from you soon again,     WITH KINDEST CHRISTIAN REGARDS!      ELDER KASUBA MANAD   Response: We are primarily a newsletter. We do not collect money from anyone for anything. There are other groups and people that do what you are asking, so you would have to contact one of those groups for help. We will continue to send you our newsletter. Laura Lee     Letter from William P. Goff (April 21, 2024) Greetings Brethren, We are in need of help. Haron will be buried on Friday April 26th. But we still owe the balance for the Hospital, and also the Mortuary.   On top of that, schools will reopen next Monday, the 29th of April, and school fees will be due for the orphans. If you can help us at this time, please do so, it will be very much appreciated.   Thank You.

Letter from Elijah Osiemo (March 22, 2024) Dear Brethren, Receive our Christian greetings from Kenya in the gracious name of our beloved Holy one the Lord Jesus Christ from whom we are forgiven and saved. We are greatly blessed and feel privileged to know you through your website, learnt about your faith and your desire to serve God.   We are an independent fellowship church group in Kenya desiring to be heed in your church ministry.   We are without any ministry cover and also we not under any mission, ministry or church organization.   We request for your prayers for God’s provision of Bibles in our local language (Ekegusii).​​   We pray that through God’s Holy spirit at work, that you will appreciate our interests and desire that we might find a definite spiritual partnership with your Church ministry.   May God richly bless you as we look forward to your response.   In His service, Elijah Osiemo   Editor’s Note: We are primarily a newsletter. Our newsletter is sent weekly, so perhaps you can use that as part of your Bible Study. We do not collect any money from anyone so we would not have the funds to send Bibles to you, but perhaps others reading this would like to do that for you. Laura Lee

The “New” Church of God Messenger – Issue #164 – March 23, 2024

Letter from William P. Goff (March 8, 2024) Greetings Brethren,   The orphans are now back in school, thanks to your support (Both financial and prayers). We reached the school fundraiser goal and thank those of you who contributed. The orphans who are in school are progressing quite well. So, we closed the “school fee” fundraiser.   But we also started a new fundraiser. Sad to say, we lost two more members to starvation. (A widow, and an 11-year-old boy of Daniel’s group.) Times continue to be tough amongst our impoverished brethren, and we need a little help to bury the two deceased.   The link is: In Their Afflictions., organized by William P Goff   I titled it “In Their Affliction” from (James 1:27) Our widows and orphans have many afflictions and continue to need our help.   Thank You. Bill Goff

Letter from Sarah McBride (February 15, 2024) Hello from England, Just to let you know how happy I am that you are still including articles by James on your site.

Letter from Gregory Diaz (January 4, 2024) Hi Laura,   Here is another article. I believe this is the shortest one I have written. I am not sure. There is more that I could have written but I wanted to keep it reasonably short.   Thank you very much for your website.   Greg
