Update from Pastor Festus Kimwele in Kenya
One of the very pressing needs in Kenya is the starving villagers out in the Country! Many of them move into the horrific slums in hopes of finding food and then get stuck there!
We have been sending an average of $300 every other month to help pastor Festus Kimwele’s church and community, whom I have known for several years. They go several days at a time without anything to eat- so they call those ‘fasting’ days and pray to God for help!

Note from Lucy Mburu in Kenya
Lucy Mburu has been a friend of everyone we have taken with us to Kenya, Africa since 2008!
She has an almost overwhelming passion for Jesus and the salvation of souls everywhere she goes!
We have been supporting her in a growing ministry to orphans and the Elderly- both of which are suffering tragically during the current drought and food shortages in Kenya!

Update from Richard Suarez in Venezuela
I thought it might be helpful for you to have the latest update from our dear brother Richard Suarez in Venezuela, as you know, the U.S. recently captured its leader, Nicolas Maduro. In 2020 our dear brother, Juan Carlos Jimenez, invited me to go to Colombia, S. America, to participate in a month-long boot camp for pastors. Most of these pastors had little formal religious training and many were going into dangerous places to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ!...
