Radio Kahuzi is a Light in the Darkness...

YOU Can Help Us Shine His Light.

TEACHING IN THE BUSH

Teacher Julien keeps showing up for these orphans, faithfully carrying out the calling God's placed on his life. No building. No supplies. Just bare ground, the shade of a tree, a notebook, and his voice — and yet he pours himself into these children every single day, because he knows each one matters to the Lord.

Knowing the hidden pain so many of them carry, he weaves the truth of God's love straight into his teaching. Through prayer, Scripture, and stories of faith, he plants seeds of hope in their hearts — trusting the Lord to bring a harvest in His time.

This isn't just encouragement — it's the Gospel lived out. It's what helps them carry their burdens, find reasons to smile again, and hold on to hope in Christ. Above all, it reminds them of a truth the world can't give: that they are children of God, precious in His sight, and that He has a good plan for their future (Jeremiah 29:11).

Hi once again, Dear Family and Friends, 

It seems like a long time since I wrote, since the computer needed fixing, we used the phone for short messages.  

This always amazes me -- how each day, there’s something crazy happening. Two ladies came to the gate with a couple men, demanding that they be let into the property, so they could measure the house and take pictures, to help them build their own house, the way the Belgians built houses. They said they were sent by their church, and the owner of the house. It all was a hoax and they didn’t get in! 

So many of the houses here in Bukavu, DRCONGO, and Goma, have been taken over, since the owners fled, when the Coup d’Etats started! Which is pretty sad. We don’t know when they’ll be able to get back here, or when life will get back to a new “normal.”

Today, our guard came to work, and said they heard gun fire all night, which makes the kids and women crawl under the beds. It’s always so loud and scary. We know about that. 

Every morning, when I greet our faithful watchman, we both agree that the Lord has given us a new day, fresh, to serve Him, and be thankful that we made it through the night. So many of the folks in the hills get caught in the middle of the fighting between the Kinshasa government military and the M-23, but we know that this will end sooner or later. Many governments are negotiating for peace which is a slow process. It’s all over power, metals, and minerals, of course.  

Remember how people say someone was bewitched, and has to have the hex broken, when their face, leg, or arms swell up, and the Doctors say, they don’t have a remedy for that?  Well, that’s what just happened to our day helpers relative, his leg swelled way up, and so they took him to the people that have the herbs to help cure that, and we’re just so thankful that the kid is getting better! Another world for sure that is very real out here! 

Thank you for praying for us all, we depend on our Lord Jesus for wisdom and strength each day for sure! Need to get to bed, it’s going on 10 pm and 6 am comes around fast. Much love and prayers and thank you for all your prayers and help!!

Much love, Rich and Kathy 

Keep Looking Up!

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.

●      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. Some school supplies have been purchased but this will remain an ongoing need for 130 students.



●      The simple wooden classroom, 15m x 8m with a corrugated metal roof,

is being reconsidered to use concrete as last week a school caught on fire in Bukavu and many small children were lost in the stampede to evacuate the building. The fire may have been cause by faulty wiring.

Cost estimates are pending and will be more like $10,000. Better safe than sorry. Thank you to those who have already given. Your gifts will be used for this special project.

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!
