Crossroads Witu Equipment
Crossroads Church Witu is located approximately 150 kilometers north of Malindi.The church was established and is led by Pastor Robert Manley (popularly known as “Evangelist Manley”) Late in August 2014, the Pastor Manley felt that God was leading him to establish a church in Witu after having operated a bible study from his small house for several months. Shortly afterwards, the Crossroads Witu church found a hall that they were able to hire for Kenya Shillings Three Thousand (Kshs 3,000/=) per month. As the church grew, the Pastor realized that they now needed an effective public address system to support the praise and worship during the Sunday services. The need for the public address system was also given impetus by the need to start direct proselytization through outdoor crusades. Silent Stones supported Crossroads Witu to purchase a full public address system, keyboard, guitar, drumset and a mobile electrical generating set at a total cost of Kenya Shillings Two Hundred and Twelve Thousand (Kshs 212,000/=). Upon initial delivery of the mobile electrical generating set, it was found to be faulty and required repairs. Again, Silent Stones stepped in at a cost of Kenya Shillings Fourteen Thousand (Kshs 14,000/=).
Healing of the Nations Church (3)
Late in 2014, the Healing of the Nations Church started building toilet facilities with pit latrine but in the process mistakenly encroached on a neighbors parcel of land. As they had spent a lot of money on the facility and the fact that the facility had impacted negatively on the owners expectations for the land, the church and the owner entered into an agreement for the purchase of the land. In 2015, the owners placed a lot of pressure on the church to finalize payments as they had fallen behind. Silent Stones assisted the church to raise the funds for completion of the sale by placing cash donations of approximately Kenya Shillings One Hundred and Ten Thousand (Kshs 110,000/=) and advancing the church an interest free loan of Kenya Shillings Sixty Thousand (Kshs 60,000/=). The church was able to finalize payments on the property and is now the proud owner of a full quarter (1/4) acre parcel of land housing the church, pastor’s office, toilet facilities and parking for vehicles.

In late-January 2014, the Healing of the Nations Church based in Ngong town, approximately 25 kilometers west of Nairobi decided to shift location to a property that they had been allocated near Mathare, Ngong Town. Prior to this, they had been renting a premises within the town itself and this was weighing heavily on the church finances, limiting opportunities to expand their outreach programmes. Silent Stones assisted healing of the Nations Church to raise funds and contributed money to the church to enable it finalize the construction – which was completed some 3 weeks later in the first week of February 2015.

Ngong town is approximately 25 kilometers west of Nairobi and is run by Bishop Joseph Ole Sapati and his wife Pastor Abigail Shani. In less than a week, the PA system was used in a crusade in northern rural Tanzania where more than 30 accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior! Bishop Ole Sapati promptly established a church and left it in the care of a local pastor. The cost of the public address system including was Kenya Shillings Seventy Thousand Eight Hundred (Kshs 70,800/=).
