Ministry Update: Kenya Needy Orphans and Children (Kenya)

Oakseed Ministry Liaison Rev. Sam Oluoch recently visited Kenya Needy Orphans and Children .

Rev. Oluoch and the KNOC team visited one young man, Stephen, at home with his brother and alcoholic father. Steve is a hard-working high schooler who balances his schoolwork with caring for his brother and father. They live on a tiny plot of land with a semi-permanent house that is almost falling apart. His case is truly dire, and KNOC has been a great blessing to him. The KNOC team brought food for the family and shared the gospel and prayed with them.

In Eldoret, the team’s first visit was to the family of Teresa, a 16-year-old girl sponsored by KNOC. Her father ran away from home, abandoning his family for another woman. Teresa’s mom tries to earn money for food and rent by selling things by the roadside, but she can’t afford school fees for her daughter. She truly thanks God for coming to her aid to educate Teresa.

Their next visit was to the Olenyo family, whose son Kevin is a beneficiary. Kevin is a high school student preparing to sit for his final exams this year to join college. The family appreciates the help they have received so far for Kevin. His sister came to Christ at one of the Oakseed conferences and was recently baptized. His father is a driver and was widowed for a long time. He remarried last year, and they are experiencing significant financial challenges. He is a member of the Eldoret church and previously served as a deacon. Kevin also came to Christ this year through the ministry of Oakseed and his church, where he now serves in the sound room with his brother, a former KNOC beneficiary who now runs his own electronic repair shop.

Their third visit was to the family of high-schooler Christine. Both parents are still alive but very poor, earning a living from various menial jobs. Her father is a staunch unbeliever, though his wife is a church member. Her mother brings the rest of the family to church every Sunday. The team witnessed to Christine’s father, who met with them in his house. Please pray for his soul.
