Elmores Newsletter - March 28, 2025
Hello everyone!
We hope you all are having a great start to the spring season! Right now it's the hot season here in Nairobi, but we're getting close to the long rains. Here are a couple of updates that we want to share with you.
We hit our target of $35,000
At the end of the year, we sent out a letter regarding our move to our new mission organization (SWH), getting a new office, and increasing expenditures to support our staff. We communicated that the move would cost us an extra $35,000. We requested you all to help us by increasing your monthly giving and by sending in one time gifts. We are very humbled and grateful to report that God has worked through you to provide just that. We have hit our target to raise the additional $35,000 in cash needed for this year. Because of your giving, we are able to continue in all our ministries, and are able to maintain our access to 19 million people between Kenya and Uganda. This is so exciting and we couldn't have done it without your support.
New Office
We are so grateful to have a new office space for Kuza. Moving away from the old ACO office was hard, but God has blessed us with a wonderful location. This new office is not just a physical space, but a strategic move that will significantly enhance our operations. We initially had several options after a long search, but in the 11th hour, God dropped a fantastic office in our lap, and we were able to sign a 5 year lease. We have set up a new studio that looks great and installed solar power to decrease our monthly budget. We were able to set up Starlink internet at the office because it’s the cheapest and best quality. Our landlord is allowing us to sublease the extra space we have in the house and turn another part of the property into Airbnb rentals. Our strategic location near the UN Africa headquarters and the U.S. Embassy makes it ideal for Airbnb rentals. We believe that the subleasing and the Airbnb will eventually bring in enough income to allow us to have our office rent-free, enabling us to channel more funds towards the ministry.
Prayer Requests
