En-Gedi Children’s Home March 2026 Update

En-Gedi Children’s Home - March 2026 Update

Greetings, dear friends of En-Gedi: If you have received this update, then you are alive and well, sustained and cared for by our loving Lord Jesus. He has sustained us here at En-Gedi, and even when this life is full of challenges, His Word clearly tells us that nothing in all creation—including death, life, angels, demons, fears, or powers—can separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus (Rom. 8:38–39). God’s love for His people is unbreakable and unconditional, offering security, comfort, and triumph over any tribulations or despair in our lives.

I would like to register my appreciation to you all for your continued prayers, your financial and material support, and through your presence for those of you who have visited us the last three months since the last update. Thank you for the many encouraging notes sent through seasonal cards, emails, and social media. Indeed, God has raised a big and strong cadre of servants who have made En-Gedi Home a place of joy, comfort, and model care for special needs children. May God reward each one of you in His special ways.

The plan to expand our facility is still in the works, and we trust that at His appropriate time, we will purchase the land next to our Home for this needed expansion. We know that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord (Rom. 8:28). Meanwhile, we continue to care for our children here and visitations to a few others who are living with their families.

During this last quarter, God has blessed us with new friends who have joined us in ensuring that most of our needs are met. We have also received many visitors, both national and international. We give all the glory to our God.

In the last month or so, some parts of our country have received more rain than normal, and while many families have been negatively affected, we thank God that the flooding has not caused direct damage to us. Let us pray for timely help to those in need during the continuing downpour.

We love you all and wish you God’s blessings in your lives. May He keep us connected in serving Him for the glory and honor of His Name.

In His service,

En-Gedi Children’s Home Christmas 2025 Greetings

En-Gedi Children’s Home Christmas 2025 Greetings

Sending this season’s greetings to you all our friends and co-workers in the Lord. Despite the many challenges that come with life, I am sure we all have something to thank God for as we look back to when this year began and to where we are now. The Lord remains faithful and present with us in all situations and circumstances. There are many close to us that didn’t make it this year, but we did, and for this; we give God all the glory.

In this season, and many more to come, I pray that God will bless you in special ways. Thank you for supporting us in various ways, including being our ambassadors, visiting us and for just being our friends. We love you and wish you a special Merry Christmas and a Happy 2026.

In His service,

En-Gedi Children’s Home October 2025 Update

En-Gedi Children’s Home - October 2025 Update

Our dear friends and co-workers in the Lord: we rejoice in the Lord our God, who created us and who daily sustain us. We have all been well, healthy and happy. Through all of you who pray for us, support us and those of you who are able to visit us, we have been nourished physically, spiritually, emotionally and socially. It’s because of your friendship, adorned with our God’s love and grace that we have been well. Despite their limitations, our children are able to draw from us love, joy and family unity here at En-Gedi Home. Thank you for being one with us in this joy “for we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Eph2:10).

We thank God that En-Gedi Home has continued to be a model for best practices in the support and care for children with special needs. We have many families and groups of people who have visited us the recently and in the past months and their feedback to us affirms this our vision.

We continue to trust God for our future expansion of En-Gedi Home. I have met many families with challenged children, who though given some care, are often left alone in seclusion and indoors as parents go away in search of their daily bread and other childen go to school. I have also been told of abuse of some of those severely challenged children by those entrusted to care for them. Keep with us in prayer that the land next to En-Gedi that we want to purchase will be freed for this planned expansion. But also believe with me that God’s timing is the right time – He leads – I follow.

Every month that we have a child’s birthdate, we cerebrate their birthdays even though most of them do not figure anything. We share a cake and say a prayer of thanks to God for giving that child another year of life. Our call is to let them fully enjoy their God-given lives until they cross over into heaven or until our Lord Jesus comes back. This month of October, we have birthdays for 4 boys and only 1 can decifer something. Regardless, they all bear God’s image.

In July, we hosted high school students and some youth leaders/parents from Prinsburg and Willmar, MN. The group worshipped with us one Sunday morning in my PCEA Church, among the many adventures we undertook together. We love visitors.
We love you and value your partnership in this ministry. May God keep us connected in serving Him, for His own glory and honor.

En-Gedi Children’s Home July 2025 update

To all our brothers and sisters in faith who, together serve with us in ways that God has allowed us to: this update informs you on our current affairs highlighting some changes that have happened in the recent past.

First, glory and honor goes to our Lord God for keeping us all well and in His care; for keeping us connected in sharing His love with our special needs children. Our staff and children have remained healthy, though some of the children have been degenerating quite fast. Guided by our motto “We do our best and God does the rest” , we give our best to our children and we are assured that even when they go to rest with Jesus, they take a good report.

Last week, Jessicah, one of our children went to be with the Lord. Medics had predicted that Jessical would only live to be seven or eight years, but she lived to be fifteen years and one month. May God rest her soul in eternal peace, till then. During the month of May, we were blessed by visits from friends in Colorado, Michigan,a Calvin University class and a team from Hope Mobility/Hope for Africa US & Kenya that donated wheelchairs to our children and adjusted many that needed adjustmanent. We give
God all the honor and glory for connecting us with His servants in different parts of the world.

While in Grand Rapids in early June, I met with Set Free Ministries, the agency that has helped us with our north America donations since we started En-Gedi Children’s Home in mid 2014. SFM has continued to grow both in the US and internationally and have several development projects in many countries in the world. As a result, they wanted me to find another 501(c)(3) organization that would help us in the same way they did for about 10 years. May God bless SFM for being faithful and very efficient.

God has given us another agency: FRIENDS OF THE GREAT COMMISSION. From now going ahead, please follow the instructions below to continue to support En-Gedi Children’s Home. Set Free Ministries will continue to receive and wire funds sent to them – for us, until all of our supporters have migrated to the FRIENDS OF THE GREAT COMMISSION.

I thank God for many of you who hosted me and helped me in different ways while I was visiting the US. May God reward you all in His special ways. Please continue to pray for our planned expansion of En-Gedi Home. The process to buy the land next to En-Gedi is slow, but I have no doubt that it will come through. Pray for one of my staff who have been completely disowned by her family. We rescued her from committing suicide and her story is a sad one. If interested in finding out how you can help her, please let me know.

En-Gedi Children’s Home March 2025 Pictorial Update

Dear friends and co-workers in Christ Jesus,
Our Lord God saw us successfully through the year 2024 and the 1st quarter of 2025 is almost gone, and our God is with us every step of the way. I believe that you, like us, have the same testimony.

We continue to have the joy of serving our children – now 26, and sharing God’s love with them. We get encouraged in many ways and one of them is this Pope Francis’ quote: “Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.

Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No
matter how difficult it is…life is good when you are happy; but much better when others are happy
because of you”.

Together, we continue to bring a lot of joy to God’s special children of En-Gedi Home. Though most are not able to say a word, many are able to smile as an expression of their joy.

Your prayers, your financial and material support, your visits and your thoughts bring joy and encouragement to all of us and definitely to God who orders our lives. May you all experience happiness and joy in serving with us.

Praises and prayer requests: Thank God with us for his provisions; for good health of our children and staff and for the angels watching and guarding us always. Thank God that after a long wait, we will now be able to purchase the land adjacent to us for En-Gedi’s expansion.


Please continue to pray with us for God’s favor towards renewal of our income tax exemption certificate. Also pray that the new government health insurance will have a provision for health
cover for children in Children’s’ homes. Pray for safe travels for me in the coming months.

I love you all,
Margaret Njuguna Founder/Director

Let’s keep trusting our God for our everyday lives.
