Feeding Africa
Two of the children in our feeding program outside of Nairobi, Kenya
This is a FANTASTIC time for an update as we have “served up” a Million meals in our feeding Africa program! That is so wild to me that God would be using you and us to help sustain these people in such an amazing way!
1 Corinthians 1:27 Says “Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.”

It took 2 years and 24 days to achieve, but we have finally reached that ONE MILLION milestone on May 14, 2022. As of June 25th we have invested $116,145 and provided 1,046,960 meals! We never could have done this without people like you investing your money and prayers into this project! We just want to say thank you so much for helping to feed these wonderful families.
We have told God that we would continue this feeding program as long as there is a need and/or as long as He provides the money. If you feel led to give, please click the Donate to Feeding Africa button at the bottom of this update, and help to be the hands and feet of Jesus to these hungry families. With the rising costs of food, fuel, and transportation these past few months, it is getting harder and harder on these families to provide food for everyone. Your $10 donation…the cost of one fast-food meal…can feed a person in Africa for a month. Your gift is appreciated so very much! Remember 100% of money given for Feeding Africa goes to feeding people in Africa…we keep none of it.
SIFA BWANA - (means “Praise the Lord” in Swahili)
As we strive to continue to meet these food needs, we have been praying about ways to make this program more self-sustainable. We have begun to pursue one of these avenues. Our friends who run the feeding program in Kijabe, Kenya, have a Shamba (farm/garden plot) from which they have used the produce to supplement the rice, beans, flour, oil, etc. they are able to hand out to the families in that feeding program. However, the feeding program in Nairobi has nothing like that.
The man who heard about our feeding program and wanted to help by selling this land at half the value and allowing Nifah to begin farming it before it’s even all paid for.
Several months ago, a gentleman approached Nifah and offered to sell her a plot of land for a greatly reduced price because of the ministry she was doing. This would provide an area where chickens would be able to be raised and vegetables grown to supplement the program. Although the price to Nifah is unattainable, it seemed very reasonable and obtainable to us. The cost for the land is $9,000.00 (it is worth twice that), and the Landlord said that Nifah could begin using the land after she paid the $4,000.00 down payment.
The land outside of Nairobi we are helping Nifah purchase to build a farm
Tammy and I felt the Lord’s leading in this, and we have made the $4,000.00 down-payment from our tax return. There is another $2,500.00 needed for fencing and structures to get this land to a place where it can be used. We are trusting God that He will provide the rest; that He will speak to some of you about the remaining $7,500.00. There is also still a need for a structure at the farm in Kijabe…Nairobi and Kijabe are an hour’s drive from each other.
James 4:2b-3 says “Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.”
So we are asking in faith, please join us in asking God for this provision for His children in Kenya! It’s amazing how much further our money goes in Kenya, and how much more of an impact we can have there. So please ask God if He would have you give toward this project. If so please contact me directly at roger@kingdompg.org, and let me know you are interested in the, “Sifa Bwana” project.
TRAVEL
Youth Group at Living Light Church in Taunton
May 5-19 had me back in the skies again. It was my first international flight since the outbreak of the pandemic. I was scheduled to attend the “Naturally Supernatural” conference in Watford, England, with several other pastors. Since I was planning on going to the conference, a friend of mine asked me if I would also be willing to come speak in the Living Light Church he is an Elder in, which is also the church that our son John went over to England to help plant (get started), and I joyfully said, “YES!” Then John also asked me to speak to the youth group about how I had smuggled Bibles and learned to trust God. So I said yes to that as well.
Time with family in England (from left: Maria, John, Roger, Koral, & Divan)
I was very much looking forward to seeing my grandson Elijah, (John and Marie’s baby) who had already turned 1, and I had not yet met. Of course, also the joy of seeing John & Marie and Divan & Koral. So when the conference fell through, Tammy and I felt that I should still go. I was able to do all those things and more. I was able to be used by God to bring words of encouragement and healing to many. I was also able to meet with and pray with a group of pastors from various churches across Wellington, very similar to Kenosha Allies. The two weeks were crammed with Family and Ministry…it was truly amazing! I also caught up on my Fish & Chips quota. Maybe I should just say it was two weeks of Family, Faith and Fish (and Chips) if this were a three point sermon!
One Voice Church
This is the new location our church, One Voice, is meeting at
The new Church plant in Kenosha that we are now attending is doing well. We are looking to install Elders soon which is very exiting in terms of moving forward and being able to do more ministry in the community. We have moved into a new location, so we now have a bigger meeting room and space allowing us room to do children's ministry and more. Attendance has been up with 99 for Easter and 92 the week after. The higher numbers have created a wonderful atmosphere for worshiping on a Sunday morning which has been great.
I, Roger, gave the sermon on a Sunday morning a few weeks ago at One Voice. I shared a bit of our testimony of God’s provision in our lives and what we’re doing in our Feeding Africa program. I titled the sermon “Roger the Idiot” because God often uses the foolish things of the world to accomplish his purposes and I have definitely been a fool God has used. Click play on the video to watch it!
All in all, the work is pressing forward, and we are excited for the impact One Voice is going to have on the city of Kenosha.
FAMILY
Our home for the past almost 20 years which we have to move out of by November 30th of 2022.
Things are getting shaken up at the Myers’ house. We received a letter from a lawyer telling us we need to be out of the house that we have lived in for almost 20 years by November 30th. This current home has been such a blessing, and we praise God for providing us with an amazing place to stay that has allowed us to do ministry in Kenosha all these years! Our landlord, Gordon, has been a very kind and generous man! He is now with the Lord and the home will be sold for more than we can afford.
As most of you know, this is the absolute worse time to try to purchase a house, not to mention the fact that we have never owned a home (every home except for this one came with the ministry we were doing at the time), so we have no equity to apply towards a down payment. Once again, we are trusting for God’s provision to take care of us. Please be praying for Favor as we look for a new place to live.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
It has been awhile since we have done an updated Newsletter, and for that we apologize! Due to that, This one seems chock full of needs for money which sound very overwhelming! We know that God sorts these things out in His creative ways, and yet He asks us to get the word out! Some have asked why we gave $4,000 to buy land in Africa when we need thousands to put down on a home in America. Good question!
First, we did not know we were going to be asked to leave this home when we made that decision, and yet, to be honest, we would still have done it because we have learned the hard way that obedience to God ALWAYS goes much better for everyone involved than disobedience does! Second, we have also learned that we cannot out-give God! So here we are prayerfully asking if any of you out there have felt God’s nudge to give towards any of these needs…Thank you richly!
