News and Needs

I want to start this short update with a thank you so very much to those of you who have given to provide food for “some of the least of these.” We want to recognize your generous hearts and let you know that God will richly bless you for caring for His children with their great needs during this incredibly difficult time, because that is what the scriptures say. “Whatever you do to the least of these, you do to Me.” ( Matt 25:37,40)  It is amazing to me that God would use us (Kingdom Partners and you) in this amazing way; it started with feeding one family and continued on with what it is now, feeding about 120+ families! We have had to cut back to one meal a day instead of two on the feeding program due to insufficient funds, but even so, we have given out 668,960 meals as of Saturday, June 12. All of that in a little over a year. We are so grateful to you for all you have done. Praise God!

Despite these incredible numbers, the truth is that we are out of funds for the feeding program and will be unable to send any more in a few weeks because we have exhausted all of the Feeding Program funds and will have exhausted Kingdom Partners reserves as well.  I am not saying this to guilt you, but just as a matter of fact. We told God that we would do this program as long as He provides the money, and we don’t want to shut it down prematurely...

Things are still a long way from returning to normal in Kenya. While some things have gotten better...schools are now open and distancing is over...the curfews still remain and most of the parents cannot afford the school fees, uniforms and shoes in order to send their children to school. Many have gone looking for work and have come up empty-handed as the people who used to hire them for odd jobs can no longer afford to  pay them.

 

There have been several times that we were close to shutting down this program, but God in His goodness prompted people to provide more funds. So we are praying this is the case yet again. It’s amazing how far our small amount of money can stretch to do so much. Seven dollars will feed a person for a entire month and $50 will feed a family. Would you consider using some of your stimulus money or a small portion of the Child Tax Credit that many of you will soon be receiving?  Or consider taking our 7/7 challenge by committing to donate $7 a month and asking 7 friends to do the same. 

A Quick Family update:

Tammy will be flying to England on June 15 to visit Koral & Divan, John & Marie and Grand Baby # 5, Elijah Isaac Myers, who was born to John & Marie on April 22nd. Tammy will be gone for 15 days. She is so excited to go, she can’t see straight! Please keep us in your prayers as our housing situation is up in the air. After living in this house for 18 years, this amazing blessing from God may be over soon. The provision of this house has allowed us to do ministry in this area, and we have been richly blessed. So we are asking for another miracle, especially with the way houses are selling in our area...Seems like everybody has lost their minds.

Thanks so much for all of your prayers and support, we appreciate you sewing into us so that we are able to sew into others. Thanks for being part of the team!

Partnering together for the sake of His Kingdom,

Roger

January 2021 Update: Half a Million Meals!

Feeding Africa

As we move into this new year, we just want to take a moment and say Asante (Swahili word for thank you) for those of you who have partnered with us in the Feeding Africa Program.  We appreciate your sacrificial giving and want you to know we are grateful.  We know it has been a hard and challenging year due to the Covid 19 pandemic and many other things going on in our lives.  We started the feeding program back in April 2020 feeding 1 family of 9 people.  It has grown because the Lord has touched your hearts to give, and we are grateful.

We have currently expanded to feeding 1,000 people each day with your generous assistance.  On Jan. 24th, “we” served our 500,960th meal, over 1/2 million meals, praise God!  This is an amazing act of care and compassion by 3 churches and 66 people who in 9 months have donated the $47,925 that has funded our first 1/2 million meals!  We truly could not have done it without you! We also could not have done it without our helpers in Kenya who shop for, package, and give out the food bundles...very selfless and compassionate individuals/teams!  So won’t you join us in celebrating Happy Half-million Day!  WooHoo! Check out the video below to hear Beth, one of our volunteer coordinators, share what it’s been like giving out these food bundles.

 
 

Kenya has continued to struggle with lockdown and curfews.  Some of the Kenyans have been able to return to schools, but a majority have not because they have not been able to pay their school fees as they have not been able to work.   The need has not gone away, in fact it has increased.  One of the things compounding the problem is that the rains which they need for their crops have been late this year.  Please join us in praying for rains for their harvest so they can grow food on their shambas (farms).  

One of our helpers in the Kijabe location recently contacted us to ask if there was any way that we could expand to include another 20 families.  We had to say no as it would take approximately another $1000.00 a month (based on it being about $50 to feed a family for a month.)  We could not justify adding more at this point when there are weeks we cannot fully provide for what we are doing now.  We are continuing to try to push our 7/7 Challenge where our goal is to have sponsors for each of the 1000 people in the program.  The cost to sponsor one person is only $7.00 a month.  And the cost to sponsor a family is $50.00 a month.  If you know any people, churches, or businesses that might be interested, let us know and we will get some 7/7 cards out to you so that you can pass along the information or you can download resources from website.


Travel

This will be the first year since 2014 that I will not be taking pastors to the “Naturally Supernatural Conference” in Watford, England in February.  I’m extremely sad because it has always been such a huge part of building the unity of the Churches in Kenosha as we travel together, worship together and learn together.  I’m also going to miss the chance to see our kids in England, John & Marie and Divan & Koral, by not taking my annual pilgrimage to Taunton/Wellington after the conference.


Family

Our immediate family is doing well in this season. Tammy continues to homeschool the kids working on some very specific things that are having a great positive effect on their behavior. We also watch Kellie/David’s two children several times a week. We are enjoying being back live in Sunday services and being involved in many prayer services with several churches across the city.

Awaken The Church

I continue to feel the Call of God on the Church to Awake, to come alive.  God spoke to me the other day and said the shaking we have all felt this past year will continue.  He said that there are two reasons for this shaking.  

#1.  To remove that which is Dead. (Those who are in the church but are not a part of Christ.)

#2.  To awaken that which is Asleep.  (Those who have been concerned with the things of the world and not focused on the advancement of the gospel.).  

The end goal of the shakings is to turn the church into the pure and spotless Bride of Christ.  This includes a renewed call to prayer, the Church’s primary weapon for advancing the kingdom which many of us have ignored over the past years. 

May God’s shaking drive us to our knees as we seek to respond to Him. God’s love is the only thing that can repair the chasm that the devil has created in this country using fear and hate.  We are in a Spiritual War and only Spiritual weapons will be effective.

Paul closes out his letter to the Ephesians with these thoughts which need to guide and shape our thoughts and actions: 

“A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.”

- Ephesians 6:10-18 NLT

I am including again the word that God gave me in 2018 as I feel God leading me to do so.  Please watch and listen again even if you have done so before and see if God speaks anything to you through it.
