Saved By God’s Grace
We are a non-profit United States ministry established in 2007, which partners with our Kenyan brothers and sisters on the ground, along with our sister organization, Caring for Kenya’s Kids (C4KK), to provide basic necessities for the people of Kenya. We believe through these actions people will see hope which will ultimately lead them to the hope found in Jesus Christ.
Below are examples of what is happening in Kenya through this ministry. These outreaches are run by local Kenyans to empower them in reaching out to their local communities. Your faithful contribution will help change the lives of many and your financial support is necessary for the work in Kenya to continue.
Elderly Food Distribution Program
These grandmothers, whose age range is 85-115, are taking on responsibility of their grandchildren whose parents have either died (most from HIV/AIDS) or abandoned them. We meet with them monthly to present the Gospel and have fellowship. The grandmothers are provided a hot meal for that day and we also distribute approximately 2 weeks worth of food for all who attend.
This program is run by a local Kenyan minister, Faith Ngugi.
Jiggers are a sand flea which left untreated will eventually lead to amputation of the appendage affected and to a variety of diseases even death. We work with local schools to treat all instances of jigger infestation in their students. Since we have come to be known that we perform this ministry, schools reach out to us on an “as needed basis”. We also endeavor to purchase sandals for the children, as the feet are the main entrance point for jiggers. Depending on financing, we also attempt to treat the dirt floors of the homes of the children, which is where the jiggers reside. We also treat cases on a one-on-one basis for individuals in the community who are ravaged by jiggers.
Jigger Treatments
HIV/AIDs Hospice
We provide medication, housing and food for HIV/AIDS victims and bring comfort to them in their last hours on earth knowing someone cares for them (not only us but our Lord and Savior, Jesus). Kenya still reels from a decade of HIV/AIDS which ravaged the country without proper medications. This has left many children parentless and many children contracting HIV/AIDS themselves. With little local resource we are able to bring hope when hope seemed abandoned.
This program is run basically by Ben Msandu, a local Kenyan who has worked with us since 2008.
Assistance for orphans and their caregivers (normally single mothers) may include purchasing beds to get children off the dirt floor and into the first bed they have ever seen, fixing home roofs, even building entire homes and much more. This is done on a one-on-one basis as the situations are brought to our attention. Once again, Ben Msandu comes across these situations in his ministry on a regular basis. We help as many as we can with the resources God provides but the need is always greater.

Education Assistance
The need for children to continue their education is vital in Kenya and we work with many children to help keep them in school. Your support will help pay school fees (education is not free in Kenya), purchase mandatory uniforms and school supplies (such as books, paper, pens, etc.) and other necessities (such as toilet paper and mattress). This ministry is the original ministry Saved By God’s Grace was set up to perform. Over the years we have assisted hundreds of children obtain their primary and secondary education. By the grace of God we have also been able to send approximately 30 children to tertiary education (university, college, trade schools). With an education it is actually possible to stop the continuing poverty cycle found in Kenya…and that is a generational blessing.
This ministry is primarily done through our sister organization Caring for Kenya’s Kids (C4KK) run by Peter Mwangangi.
In performing all of the above, the primary objective is to share the Gospel not only in word but in deed. Providing for material needs is useless unless the Gospel is preached and eternal consequences are obtained through the Holy Spirit. In each situation that material needs are being met, we make sure that God receives the praise and glory for everything. We ensure that the receivers of the gifts understand that the motivation for the giving of the gifts is Jesus…we are simply doing what He calls His followers to do. The gifts themselves are nothing but a tool to enable the Holy Spirit to work in lives so God’s Grace will be accepted and the participant will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
Through these actions we are showing them the love of Christ and bringing a message of hope to many who have lost hope.
