Kennedy was the chief caretaker at the Yangon campus for over 5 years. Last year, he left the Yangon campus and moved to Nay Pyi Taw, which is the capital of Myanmar, to pursue children's ministries.
On the surface Nay Pyi Taw does have some advantages over Yangon because it is a relatively new country town with very good infrastructure. However, there are still too many people in Nay Pyi Taw who live in poverty.
If truth be told, Kennedy does not live in the central business district. He is currently renting a property on the outskirts of Nay Pyi Taw, which has been affected by flooding.
In the next village, Kennedy has been busy with assisting needy people who have been affected by the flood. To be more precise, Kennedy has been using a small amount of money, which he received from M2M, to feed an Indian widow.
To see where the widow lives, please click here to watch a short video clip.
The widow has no relatives in Myanmar, and she is really struggling to survive in a country that has no social security system. However, the widow is not the only one who is going through hard times.
In the same village, Kennedy found a single mother with a baby. Apparently, her husband died three months ago. Kennedy generously gave this mother a bag of rice with a container of cooking oil.
M2M condones Kennedy's acts of selflessness because Kennedy shared his limited resources with those who are less fortunate than himself.

You may remember Elijah from the concrete well project in Rakhine state. If this project does not ring a bell, please click here to read the blog post.
In late January 2021, Kennedy informed Pauly about an upcoming evangelical conference, to be held at Elijah's commune in Rakhine state. Apparently there was plenty of rice and drinking water for all the conference attendees but there was no budget for meat.
Kennedy expected somewhere between 80 and 90 people to attend the conference and he said that it would cost $USD800 to feed all the attendees. Furthermore, the conference was to be spread over 5 days and 5 nights. If truth be told, over 170 people attended the conference and all the attendees were very well fed.
Within a very short timeframe, M2M received $AUD1000 from a donor who lives in Brisbane. That money was sent to Pastor David in early February and then, David transferred 800,000 kyats (roughly $AUD800) to Elijah just before the conference started on the 15th of February.
Below is a collection of photos to document the food preparations and the people who attended the conference.
