Lamalah Children’s Center
HOW IT BEGAN
The history of the LaMalah Children’s Center begins at Sukkot of 2010. Another ministry put us in contact with a minister in Kenya who wanted to take the Creation Gospel training course. He represented scattered communities of Torah believers around Kenya, and he wanted to take the training back to the Torah-keeping communities. After much government red tape, we determined that it would be very difficult for Brother Peter Ndungu to travel to the United States for training. Instead, we raised the money to travel to Kenya in April of 2011.
“May YHWH bring this to pass is what we pray.
Blessings and Shalom.” - Peter
PROGRESS
In May 2022, LaMalah moved to a newly-constructed facility in Nakuru County, Kenya. It is a warmer climate than the cool mountain tea country of Limuru. Three homes built on the property provide the children with brothers and sisters, and a "mom" so that they will grow up with a family. The facility has security fencing and five greenhouses. The children learn to grow their own produce and attend school. Once the building project was completed, donors provided additional funds to purchase:
a water cistern
a well with a solar pump for a source of free water
a heavy truck that can be used to transport building materials or converted to a tank bed to transport potable water to sell, thus providing a cash income
security fencing with a gatehouse to screen visitors to the property
a van to transport children to Shabbat and feast service
a multi-purpose building with laundry, kitchen, classrooms, and guest quarters on the lower deck and a large meeting room on the second floor for prayer, seminars, homework help, or common meals
a separate dormitory for older teenage boys
Many of the children did not have a Biblical background and are now learning how to “live Torah.” They are safe, well-fed, and educated - both physically and spiritually.
With LaMalah well-established, we sometimes have excess funds that are used to help two other Torah-based orphanages, one in Rwanda, and Hadassah Orphanage in India.

PROGRESS
Until 2026, we assisted Hadassah Orphanage in India with special needs when we had available funds. In September of 2026, we accepted the charity from Beit HaTorah for full-time support in a Divine full circle. Here's the short story:
In 2009, Boaz and Rabbi Sariella Creeger founded the Hadassah Orphanage in India with Ravi Babu Karra serving as its director. The orphanage usually serves around forty children along with some widows who have taken refuge there, giving them a safe place to live, education, medical care, and spiritual guidance. Children are taught salvation through Yeshua HaMashiach and Torah. The orphans of Hadassah keep Shabbat and the Biblical feasts, thriving in what would otherwise be a hopeless environment. The children become orphans for various reasons. They have lost parents due to tsunami, HIV, auto accidents, TB, house fire, financial hardship, or abandonment.
About the time of Hadassah's establishment, I spoke at an MBI conference in Michigan where I met the Creegers and attended their presentation on the orphanages they sponsored in Africa and India. At the time, I was just getting used to being invited to speak and receiving offerings for doing so, which felt odd since I had a full time job. When I saw what the Creegers were doing, I said to myself, "If this ministry were to grow, then that's exactly what I'd want to do!"
As it turned out, the ministry did grow and I began writing Creation Gospel workbooks. When we teamed up with the believers in Kenya to build LaMalah Orphanage, The Creation Gospel was able to do exactly what the Creegers had inspired us to do: support orphans and widows. Proceeds from speaking and the workbooks were our starting capital, and as we continued, others came alongside to grow the available funds.
Just before he passed away on Erev Sukkot 2026, Boaz Creeger ז״ל approached us about providing ongoing support to their work at Hadassah, and the Creation Gospel board accepted the challenge. When we receive Kingdom inspiration, it eventually becomes Kingdom obligation! It is a wonderful opportunity to visit the orphans and widows in their affliction, to lend to The Holy One of Israel Himself.
What do we need now? Any amount of support for monthly expenses: clothes, food, medical care, school fees and tuition, books, uniforms, higher education, and feast celebrations.
