Bill Goff is one of the few COG members who seem to be actually doing a physical work, by putting his faith into practice, in taking care of the orphans and destitute in rural Africa. He has been doing this for many years now by building orphanages and housing for those in need. Every once in a while he tries to ask other COG's to assist him. Guess what, they won't. This should not be surprising after all, it is the Church of God.Kenya and many other African nations are suffering terrible droughts right now in addition to horrendous political situations. Many are dying from malaria and malnutrition. Goff has been active in caring for these people.
As many of you know, I have been in Kenya for about two Months now, assisting at the orphanage and visiting various church groups, trying to encourage them with "assurance" that The Kingdom of God "IS" coming, and that the suffering that they are currently experiencing (and it is much) will eventually end. How I wish we could make others in the churches of God aware of the need here. I am sure others would chip in and help if we could only make them aware of the suffering their impoverished brethren are enduring. But getting past the hierarchy that continues to flourish in the various churches of God, and exposing the suffering of our brethren here is a difficult thing to do. Again I was refused by another church group leader to address their congregation. My only request was to make others aware of how difficult life is here for these brethren of ours, and how just a little assistance can help so many more of our brethren.You can see some of the work he does here.
