MINISTRY UPDATE | KALENJEKA COMMUNITY

Today, Hills Of Joy Ministries had the privilege of gathering with the Kalenjeka Community for a meaningful Community Bible Study from Acts 7, with 24 participants in attendance. We thank God for the opportunity to gather around His Word, listen, learn, ask questions, and reflect on what God is doing in the lives of His people.

Acts 7 reminds us that God's redemptive plan has always been sovereignly unfolding throughout history. Through Stephen's testimony, we see God's faithfulness to His promises, Christ as the fulfillment of God's saving purposes, and the calling of God's people to remain faithful even when obedience becomes costly. From a Reformed perspective, the passage directs our attention away from human strength and toward the sovereign grace of God, who accomplishes His purposes and calls His people to trust and obey Him.

Alongside the Bible study, we were also grateful to provide food to Gogo Sikatha Mwaleyi, reminding us that ministry involves caring for the whole person. We desire to demonstrate the love and compassion of Christ not only through teaching God's Word, but also through practical acts of mercy toward those who are vulnerable and in need.

Our prayer is that today's study will produce repentance, faith, perseverance, and transformed lives. Community Bible studies and practical care help us build genuine relationships, listen to people's stories, disciple believers, and bring the truth of Scripture closer to where people live. We are grateful for all 24 participants and for the opportunity to serve the Kalenjeka Community.

Ministry Update — Malichi Village

Today, we had the privilege of being in Malichi Village, where we gathered with members of the community for a Bible study from Acts 6, reflecting alongside John 3:1–12. Acts 6 reminds us that as the early church grew, the apostles recognized the importance of caring for both the spiritual and practical needs of God’s people. The selection of servants to care for the widows demonstrates that the Gospel produces a people who value truth, justice, compassion, and faithful service. From a Reformed perspective, this is not a message that human service earns salvation; rather, good works are the fruit of God’s grace in people who have been transformed by Christ. John 3 further reminds us that true transformation ultimately comes through the new birth by the Holy Spirit. People do not change merely because they attend Bible studies or become part of a religious community—they need the regenerating work of God.

Our study also helped us see how Acts 6 speaks directly to the realities many families face today. When the church takes God’s Word seriously, it cannot ignore suffering, loneliness, injustice, or the needs of vulnerable people. At the same time, we are reminded that material assistance alone cannot address humanity’s deepest need. People need Christ. Through His Word, the Holy Spirit changes hearts, renews minds, gives hope to the discouraged, and teaches us to live for God and for the good of others. Our prayer is that these Bible studies will not simply give people information about Scripture, but that God will use His Word to draw people to Christ and produce lasting spiritual transformation in their lives.

We are especially grateful for the opportunity to conduct these studies through home visitations. Meeting people in their homes allows us to slow down, listen to their stories, understand their struggles, pray with them, and patiently walk through Scripture together. It helps us build genuine relationships not only with the individuals we serve, but also with their relatives and the wider community. For many elderly, vulnerable, and isolated people, a home visit communicates something powerful: you have not been forgotten. We are thankful to God for every door that opens and every conversation that allows us to share the hope of the Gospel. Please continue to pray for Hills Of Joy Ministries as we take God’s Word into homes and communities, trusting that God alone gives the growth and that His Word never returns empty.

MINISTRY UPDATE | SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDY & PRACTICAL CARE

Today at the Hills Of Joy Ministries Center, we gathered in small groups for Bible study from Acts 5, reflecting on the faithfulness of God, the authority of His Word, and the call to live as people who belong to Christ. The study reminded us that the Christian life is not merely about attending gatherings, but about being transformed by the truth of the Gospel. As we opened Scripture together, we encouraged one another to trust Christ, obey His Word, and remain faithful even when following Him is difficult. We believe that genuine spiritual transformation begins with God's grace through His Word, as the Holy Spirit works in the hearts of His people.

Today was also an opportunity to demonstrate that Gospel ministry cares about the whole person. After our Bible study, we distributed soap to the people we serve, providing a simple but meaningful resource for personal hygiene and dignity. Something as basic as soap can make a real difference to an elderly or vulnerable person who may struggle to afford essential household items. For us, this is more than material assistance—it is an expression of Christian love and mercy. We want the people we serve not only to hear that they are valued by God, but also to experience practical care that reflects the compassion of Christ.

We are deeply grateful to an anonymous donor who provided the soap that was distributed today.

MINISTRY UPDATE — MOYA VILLAGE

Today, our ministry team had the privilege of serving in Moya Village, where we conducted a Bible study and carried out home visitations to elderly people and people living with disabilities. During these visits, we had the opportunity to listen to their stories, understand some of the challenges they face, encourage them, pray with them, and remind them that they are valued, loved, and not forgotten.

Our Bible study was based on Acts 4, where we reflected on the boldness of the early believers, their commitment to Christ, the importance of prayer, and the unity of the believers. We were encouraged to remain faithful to the Gospel and to demonstrate the love of Christ not only through words, but also through practical care and compassion.

Beyond the immediate spiritual encouragement, home visitations and Bible studies are helping us build meaningful and lasting relationships within the community. They create opportunities for our team to know families personally, understand their circumstances, and establish trust with relatives and community members. As we consistently walk alongside elderly people, people living with disabilities, and their families, doors are opened for deeper conversations about faith, life, and the needs of the community. These relationships are becoming an important part of our ministry, helping us serve not merely as an organization that comes to provide assistance, but as a ministry that walks with people, shares their burdens, and points them to the hope found in Christ.

We are grateful to God for another opportunity to serve, share His Word, build relationships, and bring hope to the community.

Meet Gogo Sikatha Mwaleyi, 80 Years Old

Gogo Sikatha Mwaleyi is 80 years old and lives alone. She is living with the effects of a stroke that has affected her arm and leg, making it extremely difficult for her to walk or do any work to support herself. The house she lives in is in a very poor and deteriorating condition, and there is currently no food in her home. The few people who sometimes help her are also limited in what they can provide. As a result, there are times when Gogo Sikatha goes to bed hungry.

This is more than a story of poverty, it is a reminder of the suffering many elderly people face in our communities, often quietly and without anyone noticing. Please join us in praying for Gogo Sikatha. Pray that God, in His mercy and providence, will provide for her daily needs, strengthen her body, comfort her heart, and send people who will stand with her during this difficult season. May God open doors for practical help, food, proper care, and a safe place for her to live. We believe that even in seasons of deep suffering, God does not abandon His children.

One of the reasons we care for the elderly in our communities is because many of them experience exclusion and neglect for various reasons. Some are isolated because of their age, poverty, family circumstances, disability, or other social challenges. At Hills Of Joy Ministries, we believe that every elderly person deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. Their circumstances should never determine their worth or whether they receive care and support.

When we appeal to individuals and communities to help those who are vulnerable, deliberately refusing to support them can sometimes reveal that the spirit of exclusion and discrimination is still present among us. Our responsibility is not only to provide food and practical assistance, but also to challenge attitudes that cause people to be forgotten or rejected. Caring for the elderly is therefore more than an act of charity, it is a commitment to restore dignity, demonstrate compassion, and build communities where no one is left behind.

TODAY’S MINISTRY UPDATE – SENIOR GROUP KALENJEKA

Today, Hills Of Joy Ministries went into the Kalenjeka community for a Community Bible Study and visitation ministry. Our Bible study was based on Acts 4, where we were reminded of the boldness of the apostles, the power of the risen Christ, and the truth that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. From a Reformed perspective, this reminds us that the church does not create its own message—the gospel is God’s truth, and our calling is to faithfully proclaim it. As our people hear and study God’s Word together, they are being strengthened in faith, encouraged to trust in God’s sovereignty, and reminded that their hope does not depend on their circumstances but on Christ.

Our community visitations also gave us an opportunity to meet people where they are, listen to their struggles, pray with them, encourage them, and remind them that they are not forgotten. Many elderly people and vulnerable families carry burdens that are not always visible from the outside. A simple visit can restore dignity, bring encouragement, and open the door for deeper spiritual care. Through these visits, we are not only addressing immediate needs but building relationships through which the love and truth of Christ can be demonstrated.

Today was therefore more than an activity—it was an investment in people. God uses His Word to transform hearts, and He uses His people to carry that Word into the lives of others. Our prayer is that the seeds planted in Kalenjeka will produce lasting fruit: stronger faith, renewed hope, deeper fellowship, and lives increasingly shaped by the gospel of Jesus Christ. We thank God for allowing Hills Of Joy Ministries to serve our community, trusting that “the word of God continued to increase and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly” (Acts 6:7).
