In one way or another we can all relate to
Psalm 86:1 when David says “I am poor and
needy.” Even the richest among us should
understand that poverty needs relate more to
spirit than to the wallet. Even millionaires

Firstly, I would like to thank you for your
family’s photo. It was received with both
hands by my family, and the whole ecclesia.
The work you are working is very great in
these last days to spread the true gospel.
Much thanks, particularly for the Swahili
New Testament edition. My ecclesia is very
happy, especially as the aged brothers and
sisters can read only Kiswahili, for it is the
national communication language in our
society. These Swahili Bibles will help them
to study well and understand what they can
tell their families and friends.
We pray that our Almighty Father in heaven
may give you blessings so that the whole

Bible can be translated. In Kenya, the Bible
is very expensive so many brothers and
sisters cannot afford them. Those who are
in need are 8 brothers and 14 sisters,
making 22 in total.
I enclose photos of our recent activities. We
had a Youth Camp in our R/Valley area, with
460 youths from all our ecclesias. On the
closing day, brothers and sisters joined
them, making 1150 in total. It was some-
thing that had never been done in Kenya
before. I would like to thank all.
Photos of the Youth Camp are on the front
and back covers and page 22.

should often say, “I am just a sinner saved by
grace.”
Psalm 86 tells us that the help God provides
is not measured by money. When we acknowl-
edge that we are poor and needy it is not so
that God will lavish material riches on us, we
do so to open the doors to other, more valu-
able treasures.
Here is what God does for the poor and
needy; “He will preserve our lives and save
all those who trust Him.” (v.2). He will be
merciful and ready to forgive, (v.3,5). He
will listen to and answer our prayers, (v.6-7).
We ought to take God’s blessing with giving
back. We have responsibility to learn God’s
ways, walk in His Truth, fear God’s Name
“praise the Lord and glorify His Name” (v.11-
12).
Do you consider yourself among the “poor
and needy”? If so, welcome to Tongaren
where the poor and needy are many. Let’s
not forget the spiritual blessings God has for
us and the godly response we should have
toward his generosity.
The poorest man is he who lacks God’s words
in his mind.
