I've just received devastating news that I cannot keep to myself - I must share this with those who can help.
Three weeks ago, a merciless storm tore through the Katilu community in Kenya…
Literally ripping the roofs off homes and destroying 370 houses completely.
Right now - at this very moment - over 4,000 people…
Including countless children… are sleeping under trees or crammed into neighbors' homes.
Families have been torn apart…
With parents sending their children to stay with distant relatives just to keep them sheltered.
As a parent, I can barely imagine the pain of having to make that kind of decision…
To see my boys, Arthur and Asher, cold, hungry, afraid…
And know that I had nothing to offer them but my prayers.
Imagine being a mother with your baby in your arms…
Trying to shield them from the wind and rain with nothing but a piece of torn plastic…
Or a father staring at a field that used to feed his family, now washed away by the rising waters.
They’re not just hungry — they’re terrified.
They lie awake at night praying, wondering if anyone in the world even knows they exist.
They’re hoping for even a sliver of help.
Just one kind person to reach out and care.
But each day, their hope slips further away.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
YOU can make a difference in their lives.
I know it may feel like you’re a world away. That it’s hard to grasp the urgency from another continent.
But I’ve been to Kenya many times.
I’ve walked these roads. I’ve hugged the children.
And I’ve witnessed — with my own eyes — just how FAR your kindness can go.
Right now, that's the heartbreaking reality for thousands of families.
They pray every night for the rains to stop—because they have no protection from the elements.
I can barely type these words through my tears.
These are real people - mothers, fathers, children - who had homes just three weeks ago…
And now have nothing.
The rainy season continues… and they have no protection from the ruthless downpore.
No government help has arrived.
No aid organizations have stepped in.
They are utterly alone except for the heroic efforts of my dear friend, William.
He has emptied his own pockets and opened his home, taking in 27 families himself.
His parents have welcomed another 8 families.
But this is a drop in the ocean of need.
He tells me he has "literally exhausted everything" trying to help these desperate families with basic food and transportation.
The situation grows more dire by the hour:
Children cannot attend school…
Parents cannot work their farms..
Families are scattered and separated…
The psychological trauma deepens each day…
And if I close my eyes for even a second and imagine it was my family...
My wife… my children...
Starving. Weeping. Growing weaker with each passing day.
Looking up at me, hungry, desperate...
And there was nothing I could give to help them...
That thought alone utterly breaks me!
I don’t even want to think about it… But I have to.
I am writing this to ask you to open your heart, and help with any donation that you can…
But also with a comprehensive plan to help these communities recover and rebuild.
Here's how your support can directly change a life
The total project cost is $158,500, but here’s the thing I want you to remember…
Whatever your contribution is… no matter the size… it can make a MASSIVE difference.
Even if you can only give $50 or $100, that really goes a long way in helping these precious people.
And trust me…
I’ve seen it firsthand… what may feel like a small gift to us can mean the world to someone who’s lost everything.
To a mother, it’s hope.
To a child, it’s food.
To a family, it’s the beginning of restoration.
I know that with YOUR help, we can give the people of Kenya a chance to rebuild what was so suddenly taken from them.
Together, we will ultimately put smiles on the faces of kids like this again…
Knowing where their next meal will come from.
My team in Kenya will distribute these so that we can help prevent hundreds of thousands of people from facing starvation and death.
Just like this….
When I witnessed this beautiful man of God, and countless others, suffer and die before my eyes
It doesn’t have to be this way.
We CAN make a difference and save lives.
Our target is to save at least 20,00 Kenyans from starvation!
My team commits to covering all administrative, training, and supervision costs as our contribution.
This means 100% of your donation will go directly to purchasing the supplies these families desperately need.
Every dollar you give helps us rebuild Kenyans’ lives and save them from starvation.
Your support means the world to me, as I believe helping our fellow human beings is what God has called us to do.
With every inch of my being I want to band together with as many people in my community as possible to share our blessings with the Kenyans in dire need.
I have been supporting this work for 15 years now… and have personally gone to Kenya to initiate and oversee everything that goes on…
To ensure that every penny raised is being utilized for the Kenyans who are suffering.
I hope that wherever you are right now, you’ll do what you can to help this life-saving cause…
Please share this with everyone you know…
Forward this email to them, text them the link, and help us reach our target so that together… we can prevent one of the world’s greatest tragedies.
The more individuals who jump on to support this cause, the more lives we’ll change, together.
