Home For the Elderly

By

Ministering to the elderly.

Pastor Boniface's mom and dad, Hellen and Silvanus,
 have become the overseers and ministers of the widows home.
The elderly are being cared for and many are coming to Christ!
They are doing a great work for the Lord. Look at those smiles. Truly blessed!




A home for the elderly located in Osinga Village (5 miles from Migori).
We have recently sealed the building with concrete to keep out mosquitoes and leeches. The insects were biting the elderly and bringing with them many illnesses. Praise the Lord for this very important improvement!






Widow's receiving new blankets!

A fundraiser held  August 2016 by the Bible School kids at the
 Hope Community Christian Church in New Philadelphia, Ohio U.S.A.
Pastors Scott & Staci Snyder, supplied enough funds to give blankets to the elderly.
The days there are warm, but it gets very damp and cool at night. What a comfort for them.

Upon presentation of the new blankets, Boniface found he had one extra. They presented it to Josephina, who was so overwhelmed, she brought her old one to church on the following Sunday. Her old blanket was over 10 yrs old, tattered and worn. Excited about receiving her new one, she held  up the old one and testified, "this is how missionaries used to be, they really cared about you." Since then she has been inviting neighbors and relatives to church, and has inspired many to attend services!

Boniface has visited some relatives of Josephina's who live across the small river from Osinga. He met 80 year old John who is blind, and 91 year old Joash. They were among the first converts to Christ over 40 years ago, when Pentecostal preachers came from New York. Boniface brought them medicine and treated their sickness and sores. They also asked for blankets . If you would like to help with their request, go to the donate page and put a note in the donate comment box for this need.

HELP A CHILD WHO CAN NOT REPAY YOU!

By
HOPE CHILDREN'S HOME The orphans are due to finish their school year at the end of this month. (July 2017) Only those, whose school fees are paid, can take the final exams. To help each child overcome the challenges of their early lives,  Migori Missions has currently taken in 108 orphans. Each child is separately listed and pictured here on the website. Food, clothing, and a safe place to sleep are the first priorities. They are taught the Word of God and  some are schooled when money is available for school fees.  I would ask ...because the Lord has blessed you...would you consider giving back by helping one of these children? You can sponsor a child by making a monthly donation of  $30.00 , or give a one time donation to help with their school fees.  Go to the Donate page..... click on Sponsor a  Child, (each child is pictured individually.) It is a secured way to donate through PayPal. Blessings to you!

February 2024 Update

By Jacqueline
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
