February 2024 Update

Greetings Friends,

Last year was a very exciting year for Migori! The Lord has done a quick work way beyond any of our imaginations.

Late in the fall of 2022 we were informed that the Government in Kenya gave us just a few short months to build an updated church on our land. 


In October of 2022, Boniface made an emergency trip to the USA to seek help for constructing a new building before our land would be taken. As Boniface was preaching and visiting different churches , the governing surveyors in Migori were sent to measure the ground, anticipating the forfeiture. Needless to say time was running out and we still had no solution. Then…. came the “Day of the Miracle” needed to save the property! By late November the funds came! All Glory to the Lord who made it possible as only He can. Boniface quickly returned to get the building underway! 



During Boniface’s visit in November of 2022…unknown to us….another Miracle was in the works in tandem with the Building Miracle. Donations began to come for the start of a new Well Project destined for our “ Darryl Rosser Farm” where we grow our crops. Those plantings twice a year help generate the food supply for our orphans, church, and many community members!



The new well project started with the drilling of a deep water well which provides plenty of fresh clean water; even in times of drought when hand dug wells dry up. The next phase was the installation of an underground pump and a platform for the above ground water tanks and solar panels to generate electricity for the pump. Results…. plenty of clean water for drinking, raising fish, and the future construction of a greenhouse for water grown produce! The digging of the pond for raising fish begins this week. Wow!!! We say Hallelujah!!! Glory to God!! Thank you to all who are a part of this Great Work! The Lord is so Amazing!!



Matt. 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” All Glory to God!

Our yearly Match Fundraiser starts Feb 11, 2024 thru Feb. 25th. All monies donated to Migori Missions during this time span will be matched by our Sponsors “Darryl and Diane Rosser”. What a great opportunity to make your donation value double! Thank you and many blessings to all of our sponsors!

Back to School

August 2, 2021

Our orphans are back in school






Pictured above are some of the orphans who were able to go back to school this past Monday! Thanks to our compassionate donors we are providing uniforms and supplies to meet their immediate needs. Some shoes are also needed but we know the Lord will make a way.
 
Pastor Boniface is still preaching the Word and bringing souls to Christ. He posts his live broadcasts over Facebook every Sunday from the Migori Church. He also oversees four other churches in the area, visiting with the pastors,  attending prayer meetings, and holding special services.

We still have the Clinic which is staffed with a nurse who can diagnose common sicknesses such as Malaria, Typhoid, Cholera, and other common illnesses of the area. By keeping medicines on hand the orphans can be treated very quickly to avoid very costly trips to hospitals etc.

We all agree it has been a very trying time this past couple of years, but the Lord will help us as He has promised to never leave us or forsake us! Our Faith in Him will take us through to our final destination to live eternally with Him! Thank you Jesus! 

Pray for us as we pray for you!

August- September are the months that we have extra expenses for planting, medicine restocking, and
remaining orphan school supplies.

Blessings....Mary E Seevers

HELPING HANDS NEEDED




Pictured above is the story of a Grandmother that walked from Wasio (6 miles) to Migori Town several times over the last few weeks to sell her produce to provide for her and her granddaughter. She confessed she had very little hope for the future and longed for death so she could finally be at rest. She was met by Christian Ministers in Migori who shared the Gospel of Jesus! She gladly accepted him into her heart and has now found new hope. Boniface is working along with other ministers in the area to help with her care.   Thank the Lord for his His Mercy and to all the ministers who are willing to be that light.



Commit to a small amount each month to help with our mission to be a light to others!




Updates on our ministry:

     Our orphans have been home since all schools were closed in March due to Covid 19 outbreak. Boniface has been sharing the Gospel each week on Sundays over Facebook. If you are not friends with him on Facebook, send a friend request to Boniface Abanga and you will be able to view the service each week.  Our church was closed for a few months, but now has been informed of new guidelines for re-opening. We are praying for funds to prepare for opening Sunday July 19th. $620.00 is needed to fulfill all specified government requirements for opening.  
     Food supplies are now acquired once a month by a trip to Kisumu, located 3 hours way. Boniface, along with other shoppers must rent a large truck and be accompanied by guards to insure their safety. Many grocery stores in Migori have been broken into and store owners can no longer protect their food supplies. We thank the Lord they still have access to food. 
     These last 6 months have brought many changes, but one thing never changes. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever! He supplies our needs and will never leave, or forsake us!
     We pray we are able to reach more souls for His kingdom before our time has passed. Jesus is coming soon!
     I encourage you to pray about a monthly commitment, or a one-time offering to help re-open our churches in Migori. Let's keep the Lord's work going until He comes that many souls will come to Christ! 
     To make a recurring monthly donation, or help with re-opening costs; please go to our website
www.migorimissions.org and click on DONATE. I will be notified immediately of your donation and I will confirm with you.


Blessings to you,
Mary E. Seevers

September 2019 Our Orphans Return to School

New Uniforms for our Orphans!


     A big thank you to all who donated last Spring for new school uniforms. We were able to buy two complete uniforms for each child which allows for more efficient laundry time. This is such a blessing for the children, as the school does not permit them to mingle with the other students when out of uniform. 






Hope Christian Community Church

New Philadelphia, Ohio         Pastors Scott & Staci Snyder

Your VBS August 2019 raised $1000.00 for new mattresses for our orphans! 


Thank you so much! We love and appreciate you!

Planting is in at the Darryl Rosser Farm

     We are again praising the Lord for provisions! The planting of the fields is now complete for the upcoming season. This is such a blessing for the church and the surrounding community. We also are so very grateful  for the wells that were installed on the farm, church, orphanage, and the community! Such blessings! Thank you sponsors!

August Crusades

     Pastor Troy Woodmansee of Cambridge arrived in Migori in August for another crusade for Christ. Pastor Boniface reported many accepted Christ during those meetings. The Gospel was preached and many were healed and delivered! God is good!
 
Boniface continues to preach and spread the Gospel in Kenya! 



Help us maintain.

Consider making a donation of any amount on our donate page.  This greatly helps us with the ongoing expenses of maintaining the ministry. God richly bless you is our prayer!
