Samuel's Story

Samuel is blind, yet for years he has faithfully ministered to handicapped groups throughout Bukavu and several neighboring cities and countries. He teaches practical trades—carving pens, sewing garments, and other crafts—that his students can sell to tourists to support themselves. He also teaches Braille, using Braille copies of the Bible and gospel tracts to open the Scriptures to those who, like him, cannot see the printed page.

Some time ago, Samuel came to us with an urgent need. His wife required hospital treatment, and at that moment we had no money to give him. Later, we were heartbroken to learn that we had no way to reach him—we had since arranged for our own hospitals to care for her, but word never reached him in time.

We were overjoyed when Samuel's son came to tell us that a hospital near them had admitted his wife and treated her successfully. But hospitals there will not release a patient until the bill is paid in full.

Yesterday, Samuel brought us the invoice of which the doctors had already forgiven half. We gave everything we had on hand and are trusting the Lord to provide the remaining amount so that his wife can finally come home.

We were also able to renew Samuel's teaching ministry with another Audio Bible Player, generously provided by Greg Herring, loaded with several Bible languages and programs—the very programs we broadcast on Radio Kahuzi.

Samuel's faithfulness, even in blindness and hardship, is a testimony to us of what it means to serve God with what little one has. We are grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside him and his family, and we thank the Lord for His provision, past and present. We covet your prayers for all our Kahuzi families as we live in an active war zone with danger around every corner and details we cannot safely share at this time.

A Message from the Smiths

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

— Isaiah 43:19

Thanks to your participation, Danny has made significant strides on the ground.

The Cibanda-Lwako camp in Kalehe Territory, South Kivu, shelters 130 children with a food supply of tilapia and pigs for protein for the future because you cared. Thank You!

A one-room school house needs to be built to provide a future for our orphans...God is able with your prayers and support.

●      Classes in Kihavu, Kiswahili, French, and English officially began July 1, 2026, with all 130 children enrolled.

●      Children gather first at the “Space of Joy” playground before moving to office space loaned by local authorities two days per week.

●      The new teacher, Julian, has been hired and needs our prayers to remain faithful against such a task. He asked for $100 per month and we responded with $200.

●      Remaining needs: a permanent classroom, paper and basic school supplies, and a means (MP3 player, small computer, or USB/SD storage) to play recorded Kihavu-language Bible lessons on the life of Jesus.



●      Urgent proposal on the table: a simple wooden classroom, 15m x 8m with a corrugated metal roof, as an affordable, weatherproof solution.

Your partnership strengthens our ministry and brings hope to our orphaned children during their greatest time of need.

Thank you for your prayers, your encouragement, and your steadfast support of Richard & Kathy and the entire BESI / Radio Kahuzi family.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Until we see Him Face to Face in the Heavenlies,

Keep Looking UP!
