What does it take to walk away from a multi-million dollar business empire to serve the homeless? On this episode of the Will Power Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Charles Mulli, a man whose life is a masterclass in resilience and faith.
Dr. Mulli's story begins in the depths of despair, abandoned by his parents at age five and begging on the streets of Kenya. After nearly taking his own life at age 16, a miraculous encounter set him on a path of radical transformation. He rose to become one of Kenya's most successful entrepreneurs, only to hear a divine call that would change the course of history: "I want you to be a father to the fatherless."
Dr. Mulli shares how he exercised the "Will" to sell every asset he owned and the "Power" he found in the Gospel of forgiveness. Today, the Mully Children’s Family (MCF) has rescued over 40,000 children, turning "destitute" street kids into world-class doctors, lawyers, and leaders.
Key Discussion Points:
- The Survival Instinct: How childhood abandonment forged a resilient will to survive and succeed.
- The Tipping Point: Why a stolen car triggered a three-year spiritual crisis that led to a global ministry.
- Radical Sacrifice: The mental and emotional strength required to sell a fleet of buses and oil businesses to live among the poor.
- The Miracle of the Well: How prayer literally changed the climate and ecosystem of a barren land.
- The Science of Forgiveness: Why Dr. Mulli believes forgiveness is the "powerful tool" that unlocks a child's potential.
- Legacy Building: How MCF became the largest family in the world.

the main drivers was to meetCharles Mully.
He is one of the most successfulentrepreneurs in the world.
He was homeless in Kenyan as ayoung child.
(00:21):
His parents literally left himto be homeless.
They couldn't afford to feedhim, so they just walked away
from him.
And for years, he begged on thestreets for food, only to become
one of the most successfulentrepreneurs.
But Rockstars, this story takesa turn for the amazing.

business owner and to focus onrescuing homeless children in

And I know you get visitors fromacross the world who come to

examples of following God'sdirection to help other people
I've ever heard.
Would you mind sharing with theaudience your story of how you
(02:24):
were born and just some of themain pivotal moments of your
life so that people canunderstand how we ended up
sitting in these chairs togethertoday?
SPEAKER_00 (02:32):
Yeah, uh, thank you so much, and welcome to Mooli
Children's Family, the largestfamily in the world.
SPEAKER_01 (02:40):
The largest family in the world.
SPEAKER_00 (02:42):
Amen.
And uh this has been uh over thelast 36 years of existence, uh,
since uh the Lord God touched myheart uh to really uh to start
this kind of a ministry.
I am my background isentrepreneur and really
(03:02):
business.
And uh I started uh my businesswhen I was uh young, at the age
of 20, 20, 21, uh when I starteddoing business.
And the reason is that uh Inever went to school for long uh
because due to lack of schoolfees and uh uh poverty, and uh
(03:27):
my family abandoned me, my ownmother and the father.
SPEAKER_01 (03:31):
I think that's an important part of the story, if
I can jump in, because how oldwere you when your mom and dad
abandoned you?
SPEAKER_00 (03:36):
I was five years old, and the sixth year is when
I realized that uh my mom, mydad was not around, nowhere to
be seen, and that was thebeginning of troubles on me.
Um for ten years.
I had never found them.
I never met them.
(03:58):
And so I grew up with thebegging uh the as such a street
or in the communities, begginghere and there, especially for
food to survive.
And so it was really crucial.
I went to school for uh quite afew years.
The I covered uh eight uhclasses in four years, and uh
(04:22):
God has blessed me with a veryuh uh smart uh mind.
And uh I I I always was in theleading in the class, even
though I never attendedfull-time.
But anyway, I dropped out ofschool in grade eight.
And that's when I was aboutfifteen, sixteen years and I
(04:47):
found myself a useless, a youngman crying and asking God, whom
I never knew.
But what happened?
What happened?
Why?
And I always remembered uh thatmy father always uh beat my
mother very badly and uh mostlyblood from her mouth, and she
(05:12):
was screaming, and uh it wasreally terrible.
That went in my mind, in myheart for all the years.
But then when I was 16 years oldis when uh I decided to commit
suicide because I found thatthere was no use of me uh being
(05:33):
able to live and longer.
And uh that my age mates were inschool, they had to go to
secondary school, and myself Ihad no hope.
And so due to that fact, I madethat decision to cut uh my life
short.
And therefore I went somewhereuh where there was uh a brinch
(05:56):
and I wanted to jump over downand then in uh after some times
I felt somebody uh touch me inthe shoulder here and uh I
looked behind and then I foundit's uh young man but older than
me.
And I he asked me, uh, would youfollow me?
(06:20):
I would like to go with you touh somewhere.
And uh I said where I said achurch.
I did not know the meaning of achurch and what church can do to
me because there were alsochurches I could hear there are
churches, but uh I never got anyhelp.
But then I said, yes, we walkedwith this man and then to that
(06:46):
direction to the east of theplace where I stood, and I said
to myself, to this man.
But then we entered to a church.
I found people singing, Africansclapping hands, and there I was
looking pale and tears.
(07:09):
I I I could not understand howthese people are so happy, and
in that moment that the preachercame up with uh the gospel of
Jesus Christ uh about the powerof forgiveness, and I remembered
how I was so angry about myfather, and I was saying anytime
(07:36):
I I will meet wherever I will Iwill fight him, yeah, because
now I have a big young man, 16years old.
SPEAKER_01 (07:45):
And you were ready to fight him.
SPEAKER_00 (07:47):
I was ready.
Yeah, you know, it was reallytimely uh that uh I needed that.
And the preacher spoke about thepower of forgiveness and how the
Lord Jesus Christ came and diedfor the whole world, and whoever
believed in him should notperish but have eternal life.
(08:08):
And therefore, I felt I wasoppressed.
I had reached to the war becausethat's why I wanted to take away
my my life.
And thus the preacher, when hesaid he wants to pray for those
who want to uh to be truthful, Iraised my hand and I said, God,
(08:28):
help me save me from mysituation.
And uh then I felt uh relievedand uh I I I was prayed for and
uh I was calm.
But that was not the beginningof joy, it was not the beginning
(08:49):
of easy life, no, it wasn't.
It still was hard because afterI left uh it took a long time
for me to study and the Bible,but also struggling to get food
also.
Yes.
And so the with a goodsamaritan, I was able also to
(09:11):
get uh uh something for myself.
And then I started my thejourney to look for a job in the
city of Nairobi, eighty or fivekilometers away from where I
lived to the city of Nairobi.
And so that that was now thebeginning of me opened my eyes.
I cannot tell you the man whoreally bit my shoulder here and
(09:37):
then I looked at him and then wewalked with him to the church.
I've never seen him.
SPEAKER_01 (09:42):
You've never seen that God said I've never seen
him.
So this angel of God.
Yeah, but whether it was anactual angel or human, he was
just being an angel.
SPEAKER_00 (09:49):
He was really a major uh because when even now
when I look at it, I it soundedlike unbelievable.
Yeah.
How on earth?
And that I had I was there forat the bridge for quite some
times.
And then I uh somebody's youknow, beating my shoulder
behind, and then I looked andfound oh somebody.
(10:12):
Then we walked.
So the the right word is reallyan angel because I feel like it
was the angel of the Lord whosaved me.
I would have really died.
SPEAKER_01 (10:23):
You would have died that day.
SPEAKER_00 (10:24):
Yeah, I I would have jumped over, and uh that would
have been the end for me.
But God saved me, and then Ireached to Narodi.
There were so many of theproblems I tried to beg, but uh
I fortunately I was able, Godhelped me to uh get a place, and
(10:46):
that place was a nation family,and uh they opened for me.
They uh I I got an employment,and uh that employment was to uh
clean the house and uh washdishes, and the goodness of
everything was about every daygetting food, breakfast, lime.
SPEAKER_01 (11:08):
For the first time in your life, you have a house.
You're living in a remember inthe movie you talked about
eating some of the food you atewas the food that the family
didn't eat.
But it has dinner and then you'deat what was left over.
SPEAKER_00 (11:19):
Exactly.
That's what very, very true.
And uh that was now for me, Iwas very happy.
Yeah.
And there was no other good timelike when I came from the
streets and found a place whereI could get food every day,
every day.
And so that main motivated me towork and work hard.
(11:40):
And uh the, you know, withoutlimitation.
And I I worked with a lot ofconfidence and uh with a lot of
joy.
And so that's how it went.
SPEAKER_01 (11:51):
Interesting.
And you know, I wish um to dothis episode properly, I would
need to talk to you for aboutfour hours.
Because this is the best story.
So I'm gonna ask everyonewatching to please watch the
Molly movie.
You can it's a documentary thatyou guys can watch on uh Prime
Video is how I found your yourvideo.
And it goes through thisdetailed journey.
(12:11):
If it's okay, I'd like tosummarize just so that we can
move to this point.
But this idea of you you startworking for this family, you're
living in there, you'rebasically just keeping things
clean, and the mom seespotential in you and puts you in
charge of this massive farm.
You're you you have hundreds ofpeople that you're supervising.
So you went from being homeless,begging for food to now you're a
(12:34):
responsible leader in this home.
And you meet your wife who worksthere, beautiful wife, who's a
big part of the story, andhonestly, guys, watch the video
because she's she deserves herown movie as well.
And then you become anentrepreneur.
And this is so interestingbecause you go from being
homeless to being one of themost successful people in Kenya
(12:56):
as an entrepreneur.
So can you describe what lifewas like for you at that point?
You start having kids.
What was what was that part ofyour life like?
SPEAKER_00 (13:04):
Uh well, uh let me say first that uh uh having
worked so hard and uh God blessme to help uh little man, not
that much.
And then uh I entered into uhbusiness uh on taxes.
SPEAKER_01 (13:20):
Oh, that's right, taxes.
SPEAKER_00 (13:22):
Yes, taxes, yeah, tax, taxes, and therefore after
that then bought a fleet ofbuses, and then uh I I I got the
supply disposition of uh gas andoil in the supplying to the uh
Western Kenya.
Yeah, uh Western Kenya.
(13:43):
Uh it's a big, you know, uh weused to call province.
And that was my area supplyinguh gas.
And I remember also some of thetrucks came from Congo and
Uganda, uh all the way toMombasa, and then we pass
through our stores where we usedto supply them with the the the
(14:05):
the the gas sender and and andand and and and so forth.
So I grew grew up, I had also abusiness on uh uh real estate,
and uh we used also to givemoney to people by interest.
So so so that they could buycars or they could buy even
house or whatever.
And so they I I became uh reallya wealthy man at my age, and I
(14:32):
was too young.
I remember also was able tobuild uh pioneers for my family
and uh stone build, like justlike you.
SPEAKER_01 (14:42):
Yeah, this house is beautiful.
SPEAKER_00 (14:44):
Yeah, and uh it it was great.
Anyway, uh when I was stilldoing business and uh my car was
stolen by in Nairobi.
SPEAKER_01 (14:53):
I went to this is the pivotal moment where things
change.
So for the audience, this is thepart of the movie that's very
important to pay attention to.
So you're very successful.
You're flying around the world,I want to add.
You're flying around the world.
There's a scene in New Yorkwhere you're in the towers,
you're like, man, I've made it.
I am a global successfulentrepreneur.
You have more money than youcould have dreamed of having as
an eight-year-old.
(15:14):
And now you have your carstolen.
SPEAKER_00 (15:18):
Yes, and that time uh was uh the very best time
ever in my life, and enjoyingit.
The opposite moving everywhere,going Germany and uh USA, and uh
uh when when I record this, Isee it is like yeah, impossible.
(15:39):
Yeah.
Only God can make that happen.
Because it's just like a dream.
And so anyway, uh one time mycar was stolen when I was in
ROB, and then it uh that nowmade me to think about my early
time when I was young.
SPEAKER_01 (15:58):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (15:58):
Because I had forgotten about my my life when
I was young, and you know, whenyou have uh uh wealth and you
you forget.
People forget.
SPEAKER_01 (16:09):
It's for sure.
SPEAKER_00 (16:10):
We are human beings.
SPEAKER_01 (16:11):
We get used to whatever we have.
SPEAKER_00 (16:12):
Yeah.
And so the the the the st thestolen car, I've never found it
even today.
Yeah.
And therefore, that made me tofor three years, 1986 to 1989, I
was thinking about where God uhwhere that car was lost.
I always remembered that I nevergave them money.
SPEAKER_01 (16:35):
As you were parking your car, there were these
street boys and said, Hey, we'llwatch your car if you give us
money.
And you said, No, don't, I'm notgonna give you money.
And so it wasn't the car beingstolen, it was the boys that in
your head that really resonated.
Because you I think you you saidin the movie you felt connected
to those boys like that.
You saw yourself in it.
SPEAKER_00 (16:53):
I saw my eyes.
I when I looked at them, and uh,even when I saw uh uh women
carrying children at the backand walking in the street, I
felt like myself.
I saw myself in the eyes, and uhthat one now never gave me
peace.
In the year 1989, November 17,uh is when I could not work
(17:19):
anymore.
I was in my office and I took mycar.
I decided to go home so that Icould rest and then go to see
that a doctor uh because I Ifelt upset and uh things were
turning around.
Yeah.
And God was working uh uh in meand uh trying to the voice
(17:40):
telling me you are the one to goto rescue and be the father of
the fatherless.
Those children, they need afather.
You are the one, you have man,you I blow you up, I gave you
everything, you have everything,and I I want you to be the
father to them.
SPEAKER_01 (17:59):
And all the homeless that you could find, yes.
SPEAKER_00 (18:02):
For three years uh searching, three years, 1986 to
1989, and so that year, uh 1989,17th November, is when now uh I
couldn't, I took my car, I wasgoing home, I just got lost, I
went the way to Uganda, thatroad to Uganda, and I found
(18:22):
myself at a bridge.
Uh, that bridge I was crossing,then where I stopped.
But I could not understand foruh over 35 miles that I covered
not knowing where I'm going.
Yes, aimlessly, just driving.
I don't know where I was going.
(18:43):
And when I left my office, Itold myself that I was going to
my house to rest and also to askmy wife to come with me to
Oshtow.
So that's how it was.
But anyway, God had a purpose,and uh therefore from that time
I had a time with my childrenand then my wife.
SPEAKER_01 (19:04):
How many children did you have at this time?
SPEAKER_00 (19:06):
But that time I had eight.
SPEAKER_01 (19:07):
You had eight children at this time.
And your children were living avery good life.
SPEAKER_00 (19:12):
Yeah, very good life, and I had not one car, but
several cars.
So we we we lived our life ofafference.
Yeah and and so then I say tothem, to my family, now look up
here.
Me, the Lord has said I willserve him all the years of my
(19:33):
life, and I will be the fatherto the fatherless in this
country and beyond.
And I will never ever I willnever return back.
I'm going to be uh the servant.
I'm going to be the father ofall these children, boys and
(19:54):
girls, the little one and thebigger one.
So the following day, then Istarted the Walk and uh but it
went for some times, and so manypeople opposed my idea because I
was a leader in that church.
SPEAKER_01 (20:09):
And you were selling everything you owned.
You made a decision to sellevery business, all of your
assets.
If you were going to go straightto this part of the and one
thing I think Americans need tohear, because some of most of
our audience is gonna be inAfrica, but some Americans here
locally sometimes people willjudge the poor and the homeless
as being cursed.
And so you're being, it's yourchurch, they saw this as a
(20:31):
negative thing, right?
That that you were takingbecoming the father of all these
people.
SPEAKER_00 (20:36):
In fact, they were worried about uh my not only my
life, but my children and mywife.
SPEAKER_01 (20:42):
Sure.
SPEAKER_00 (20:43):
Uh the direction that I was taking, uh, they
thought that was very dangerous.
And uh they advised me, thepastors came and prayed with me,
and the elders and I told them,nobody can join me.
Me, I will never ever work formoney.
(21:04):
I want now to serve the Lord.
I will become the father to thefatherless, and I will feed them
and I will continue, and I willnever be the poor, and I'm ready
for anything.
And that one made them to beupset, and then they said, this
man is insane, he's mad.
(21:25):
Yeah, and uh he needs to betaken to a store to be checked.
And me, I said, No, my wife toldthem my husband is not really uh
mad, he he is he is if he ismad, is he is mad for Christ.
SPEAKER_01 (21:42):
How did how did you I've been wanting to ask you
this for the longest time.
How did you know that that wasGod telling you to do that?
What was it?
What was it was it just a reallystrong feeling?
Was it a vision?
Like how did you know?
Because this is so inspiring.
And for me, as someone who wantsto hear God's voice, I'd like to
know how he spoke to you.
SPEAKER_00 (22:01):
Yeah.
Uh and you know, uh God speaksto man in different ways,
approach, and uh for any visionthat that comes from him, even
since that when I said yes Lord,I'm going to serve you, that the
moment now he also equipped meand uh within more knowledge and
(22:26):
uh miracles also of healingpeople, miracles of uh of uh
being able to talk and to topeople to see something that
they are not able to see.
Yes.
And uh uh, you know, like uh theworld that uh oh I I I I was
(22:47):
asleep and I had cried and theycried and cried for almost two
weeks because we had lost threechildren who had died, and then
we had twenty more who arehospitalized.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (23:00):
And to give the audience some context, so where
to catch them up to speed, thisis a part of your story where
you come home, you tell yourfamily you're selling
everything, and then you s youjust start going to the slums
and finding homeless orphanchildren, and you just start
bringing them home.
And so you're growing, and thensome of your kids that you're
bringing, and you're just you'redoing this endlessly.
And and this is hard for yourkids, but you're bringing all
(23:22):
these homeless children home tobe their father and to give them
food and shelter.
But you're noticing, like inthis case of the well, they're
getting sick from water.
And so you're praying to God foran answer for the water.
So just so the audience knowswhat you're you're talking
about.
SPEAKER_00 (23:37):
Uh indeed, um uh it was really uh a great miracle.
Uh when when when when we youknow we came to this place and
uh there was no trees, therewere no bushes, it was uh you
know sandy and uh the windblowing, the soil and the dust,
(24:02):
you could see it blowing.
And uh that at the time we neverhad water, and that this water
down the river where we are, itwas somehow, but not only
polluted somehow.
And then the children got adecent tree and uh they were we
are and uh yeah, three of themthey died, and the 20 were
(24:24):
hostilized.
We took them to hostile and herethey were no hostel.
I had to drive 450 kilometersaway to take them to hostel,
very, very far.
And therefore, yeah, it wasanother big, big, big
temptation.
Uh that uh now to question God,why did you bring me in this uh
(24:46):
dry land here, no water?
Of course, we left a laboratewhere uh it was a green land,
very nice, raining throughoutthe year.
But we left there because therewas chaos.
The people were fighting uh eachother, tribes to try, and they
were it was not peaceful.
(25:06):
So that's why we ran and I bringbrought all the 312 children by
30 times.
SPEAKER_01 (25:13):
So I buy then by now you have 312 children that you
have?
Yes.
And you're building houses forthem, and you're spending all
your money that you sold fromyour business to build this this
land out here.
SPEAKER_00 (25:22):
Everything, and then then even uh blowing uh workers'
teachers, and because I opened aschool for them, and uh buying
the equipment that were needed,building houses here for them,
dormitories.
The we we lived in a very, verypoor uh kind of condition, let
(25:44):
me say that.
And uh by by the way, we we wewe had to go down.
I had also myself, my wife to godown to that key level so that
they could accept us.
Yeah.
And there because if we were toto remain up there, then we
could not hug them and stay withus.
(26:06):
So that was one of the thingsand uh the miracle after one
another, after seven years,eight years, when now uh my
account was going really down.
I remember I went to check howmuch money we have in the bank,
and uh to my surprise I found uhsome money, and uh that money
(26:31):
could take us for even threemonths, and then asked the bank,
uh the bank uh clerk uh wherehas this money come from?
Uh each for three times.
And they said, no, this is notmy money, right?
I don't expect this money.
So that was the first ever timeto get money through money
(26:53):
transfer, and uh it was wayback, long time ago, 1993, 1994,
that that time, and then we wewe kept out even from that time
in up to this day, our accounthas never ever uh gone to dry.
SPEAKER_01 (27:14):
Wow, neither has your water.
It just seems like the Lord hasprovided for you every step of
the way.
So you keep going in this way,miracle after miracle.
I'm gonna beg the audience toplease go watch the Molly movie
or read his book, because thestory is transformational.
Um, and now why don't you tellthe people watching how many
(27:35):
children have you helped raise?
How many, you know, campuses dowe have, that type of thing.
SPEAKER_00 (27:41):
Yeah, uh thank you.
Over the last 36 years had gone,since 1989, we have been able to
rescue over 40,000 children fromthe streets.
They're giving them educationright from grade one, grade
(28:03):
four, uh, because of the kidswhen they come, uh they drop
some of them, they drop schoolswhen they are in grade four or
grade six, others, grade, othersthey have never gone to school.
And so, anyway, over 40,000 uhyoung people, boys and girls,
they have gone through thisprogram.
(28:24):
And those who have only stayedhere for about uh uh let's say
six years now, six years, andthey we have trained them.
Uh they came when they are alittle bigger.
Uh they they were able to gettrained on carpentry, on
building and construction, on umon um motor mechanics and the
(28:46):
apriculture, so many of thethings that we do: cosmetics and
uh uh beta therapy, sewing,tailoring, cloth designing, and
all these things and thehospitality that we have in
Yataguli College, uh, where wetrain them.
So we have a big, big number atthat time, and then we help
(29:09):
them.
Those are the the ones, but wehave the little kids, those who
are even born here.
SPEAKER_01 (29:14):
Yes, you have one month-year-old babies because
you have what's interesting isthe kids.
One year, two years, all the wayto high school, and then many of
your your kids have gone on.
This is why it's the largestfamily in the world, because
these children literally callyou uh Daddy Mully.
And they they just it's veryobjective.
It's like, yeah, Daddy Mollysays this, and they go and
become lawyers and doctors,they've completed in global
(29:36):
competitions, even in America,even in the yeah, we have uh uh
one uh professor in uh oncology,yeah, and uh in Tennessee, and
then we have also others in themost who have done also their
PhD.
SPEAKER_00 (29:51):
Uh, we have also another one who is doing uh
final year also in university inMichigan and the uh in Canada as
well.
We have a quite a uh a bignumber.
And the uh doctor of medicineand the nurses in Germany,
because Germany we have about27.
(30:11):
And those 27, uh about 10 to 12,they are married already, and uh
they are their life, uh, youknow, and they serve.
And one of the things that givesme a lot of joy is to be able to
see that them having uh theirown families.
SPEAKER_01 (30:32):
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (30:32):
And uh most importantly, it's about the
ethical uh way of life, the waythey have been taught about the
word of God here, and thecounseling and the guidance and
mentorship that they getthroughout when they are here,
and the prayers.
They have never departed fromthere.
(30:54):
They take the same, same thingadded to the entire world in
Africa, as well as in Europe andthe Middle East, and the
America, of course, and the andthe and the and the yeah.
Yeah, so there are so manycountries in the industry.
SPEAKER_01 (31:13):
And and so many of your children come back to live
here and they come back to helpbuild it.
So just for a very quick likepicture and again of plea, an
emphasis to go watch this movie,is that there was a dry barren
land and now there's trees.
You have planted tens ofmillions of trees that have
created a completely differentecosystem now.
It rains here as we had to stepin here for our interview
because it's raining so much.
(31:34):
There is water, and the water inthe food isn't just for your
family, you're giving it to thecommunities, you're you're
taking in everybody.
You never say no.
And as this continues to grow, II had a privilege of
interviewing a number of yourchildren yesterday or grown who
who came in as young.
My wife and I noticed there's apattern.
They say beforehand they weredestitute, they were starving,
(31:56):
they were desperate, and they'dgiven up hope.
You brought them in.
They were given love, food,spiritual nourishment.
And they say above all,spiritual nourishment was the
most important.
That important.
And there's this thing calledforgiveness that is core to
every single person.
Can you talk to me a little bitabout this pattern of helping
(32:18):
rehabilitate these children intobecoming these highly successful
professionals?
SPEAKER_00 (32:23):
Yes.
Uh, one of the things is itstarts with the love.
Love is a very powerful tool uhthat we can use in this world
and uh be able also to listen tothem.
The humility also of myselfgoing down and train them that
if we want to aim to dosuccessful, to live in peace
(32:44):
with one another, it's by love,it's also ours have to humble
ourselves to be able tounderstand also the problem, the
needs of others.
It's not about me, it's aboutthe other one who has got a need
and how you can help that otherperson.
So that is what the alarming.
(33:06):
And when I look at it, I seethat uh a bright future for our
nation, uh bright future forAfrica, because these young
people are really fiery becausewhen they leave this place, they
have something very special, andthat is about knowing their
rights, and knowing again thatJesus Christ is the savior, and
(33:31):
that having knowing other peopleas people created by the image
of God.
So that one, and then workinghard.
We uh we train them.
You have to work hard, you haveto be honest, be obedient to
God, and again extend that loveto others.
So that made really miracles andthey made these young people to
(33:55):
be uh to be uh uh dependent uhwhen the other people they
depend.
Even universities.
There is a good record, trackrecord of the money children
family, young people who go touniversal local universities
abroad, their behavior, they areleaders, that you have trained
them to become leaders.
(34:16):
They they they are able tolisten.
Their minds are mature.
By the time a child here is 14years, oh, it's quite quite
quite mature.
They reason out anybody, theycan talk about themselves.
So that is the power uh givingto these young people, and I see
it uh not only in Africa or herein Kenya, but uh globally, uh
(34:41):
the the world be changed andthat we don't look at ourselves.
Let us look what we can do forothers, but then when you say,
ah, what they can do to me, no,what they can do for others.
SPEAKER_01 (34:56):
Dr.
Malene, thank you so much forbeing here.
You the people who are watchingthis, we are a prayer-based
community.
What can we pray for to helpyou?
Because obviously you have nowyou have campuses in and out of
Kenya, you are expanding, yourchildren are starting to take
over operations.
Those those wonderful eightchildren are each highly trained
leaders who are taking on yourlegacy.
(35:17):
But what can we pray for to helpyou?
SPEAKER_00 (35:20):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Uh my prayer request is aboutthe Mullish children family will
continue to flourish, uh, to winuh many young people who are
still in the streets, not onlyhere in Kenya, but of our other
countries in Africa, uh, that uhthat love may not fail, not go
(35:45):
down.
But we will continue to havethat love because that with that
love, that love of God being youknow inside us, we can try, but
we fail.
And so please uh uh those whoare watching uh this wonderful
interview, I would like to saythat uh uh pray for us.
(36:07):
Number two, uh, whenever youfeel touched, uh you can also.
I was a business man and uh manyyears ago, but I gave it all uh
to save lives.
But it is the benefit that I'vegotten is more than any other
pattern.
And I count myself as one of therichest patterns in the whole
(36:30):
world.
Why?
It is because I'm not workingfor money, I am not paid because
everything that I get is only tofor these children whom you can
hear now singing and where weare going right now for the
worship service.
And so it it is you you pleaseuh join us and in making my
(36:53):
dreams a reality.
Win the whole world globally.
Help the the children, help thewomen also have been isolated
and this beaten, and they're youknow uh they need help.
And we need also uh also supportfrom you through press as well
(37:15):
as financial support.
SPEAKER_01 (37:17):
You recently had Elder Rasband visit last week
from our church, the Church ofJesus Christ of Latter-day
Saint.
And then you also went to theopen house of the Nairobi
temple.
Was just sharing your yourthoughts on those two
experiences.
SPEAKER_00 (37:30):
Well, um I think uh for me, uh not only thinking,
but I really uh get it into myheart that uh they are full of
uh uh love and appreciate verymuch the work of God that is
going on here at MoolishChildren's Family.
And uh they also were able, Ithink it was about two or three
(37:54):
weeks, when uh Apostle Rasbandflew all the way from USA.
Then we had a meeting in ROB,and our children they just
arrived from Canada, theyacquire, and we had a great time
together, and they offered a bigcheck, and that big check will
(38:17):
help us mostly to buy books anduh text books as well, and they
help the education sectorbecause it's very expensive, and
we have more than 9,000children, those whom we are
taking care of.
SPEAKER_01 (38:31):
Yes, currently active.
SPEAKER_00 (38:33):
Total total BMA in Kenya and uh in Tanzania.
Yeah.
So it needs really, it needshelp, uh, prep uh uh support and
also financial support, but alsofor those who give uh the toward
uh that uh good cause.
Uh I want to thank you so, so,so much.
(38:56):
And uh may the Lord bless youand continue to really to uh to
pray for us, and we shall bepraying.
And we really pray for all thosepeople, even those whom we do
not know.
We always pray for you becausewe are doing not the work of the
Mooli or Dr.
Mooli.
(39:16):
No, it is the work of the Lord100%, and I believe so, and
that's why we are growing theway we are going, because we are
serving the mighty God and hispeople.
Rockstar for today's episode, I went all the way to
Kenyan Africa to film thisinterview in person.
And you might think I'mexaggerating, but literally at
the beginning of November, I wasin Kenyan, Africa, and one of
the main drivers was to meetCharles Mully.
He is one of the most successfulentrepreneurs in the world.
He was homeless in Kenyan as ayoung child.
(00:21):
His parents literally left himto be homeless.
They couldn't afford to feedhim, so they just walked away
from him.
And for years, he begged on thestreets for food, only to become
one of the most successfulentrepreneurs.
But Rockstars, this story takesa turn for the amazing.
When he is told by God one dayto sell everything he owns as a
business owner and to focus onrescuing homeless children in
(00:45):
Kenya.
This story is so profound.
So go watch that documentary,and I want you to be really
attuned to this in-personinterview with Charles Moley.
As we are talking to him, he'sgoing to talk about the power of
purpose, the power of vision andvalues, which, by the way, were
plastered all over his firsthome.
He has 11 campuses, is what theycall them now.
(01:07):
It's called the Moley'sChildren's Family Organization,
and they have raised over 40,000children since that time.
He is a global leader in howpurpose and profits can make
real change in the world.
If you're looking for somethingto inspire you today, pay close
attention to today's episode, gowatch that documentary, and then
revisit your business.
Because I promise you, you'regoing to find the capability to
(01:30):
not only overcome hard teams,hard things, but to 10x your
scale because there's a reasonwhy.
Enjoy the show.
Thank you so much for takingsome time to be with us today.
It has been a pleasure to behere with your family.
SPEAKER_00 (01:45):
Yeah, thank you very much indeed.
It is our pleasure and our joyto have you here, and even other
uh visitors to those who havecome from abroad, especially
from America as the uh in the inthe in the Canada, Canada and
the USA.
SPEAKER_01 (02:04):
Yes, it's been a phenomenal trip.
And I know you get visitors fromacross the world who come to
your facility, and uh your storyis one of the most beautiful
examples of following God'sdirection to help other people
I've ever heard.
Would you mind sharing with theaudience your story of how you
(02:24):
were born and just some of themain pivotal moments of your
life so that people canunderstand how we ended up
sitting in these chairs togethertoday?
SPEAKER_00 (02:32):
Yeah, uh, thank you so much, and welcome to Mooli
Children's Family, the largestfamily in the world.
SPEAKER_01 (02:40):
The largest family in the world.
SPEAKER_00 (02:42):
Amen.
And uh this has been uh over thelast 36 years of existence, uh,
since uh the Lord God touched myheart uh to really uh to start
this kind of a ministry.
I am my background isentrepreneur and really
(03:02):
business.
And uh I started uh my businesswhen I was uh young, at the age
of 20, 20, 21, uh when I starteddoing business.
And the reason is that uh Inever went to school for long uh
because due to lack of schoolfees and uh uh poverty, and uh
(03:27):
my family abandoned me, my ownmother and the father.
SPEAKER_01 (03:31):
I think that's an important part of the story, if
I can jump in, because how oldwere you when your mom and dad
abandoned you?
SPEAKER_00 (03:36):
I was five years old, and the sixth year is when
I realized that uh my mom, mydad was not around, nowhere to
be seen, and that was thebeginning of troubles on me.
Um for ten years.
I had never found them.
I never met them.
(03:58):
And so I grew up with thebegging uh the as such a street
or in the communities, begginghere and there, especially for
food to survive.
And so it was really crucial.
I went to school for uh quite afew years.
The I covered uh eight uhclasses in four years, and uh
(04:22):
God has blessed me with a veryuh uh smart uh mind.
And uh I I I always was in theleading in the class, even
though I never attendedfull-time.
But anyway, I dropped out ofschool in grade eight.
And that's when I was aboutfifteen, sixteen years and I
(04:47):
found myself a useless, a youngman crying and asking God, whom
I never knew.
But what happened?
What happened?
Why?
And I always remembered uh thatmy father always uh beat my
mother very badly and uh mostlyblood from her mouth, and she
(05:12):
was screaming, and uh it wasreally terrible.
That went in my mind, in myheart for all the years.
But then when I was 16 years oldis when uh I decided to commit
suicide because I found thatthere was no use of me uh being
(05:33):
able to live and longer.
And uh that my age mates were inschool, they had to go to
secondary school, and myself Ihad no hope.
And so due to that fact, I madethat decision to cut uh my life
short.
And therefore I went somewhereuh where there was uh a brinch
(05:56):
and I wanted to jump over downand then in uh after some times
I felt somebody uh touch me inthe shoulder here and uh I
looked behind and then I foundit's uh young man but older than
me.
And I he asked me, uh, would youfollow me?
(06:20):
I would like to go with you touh somewhere.
And uh I said where I said achurch.
I did not know the meaning of achurch and what church can do to
me because there were alsochurches I could hear there are
churches, but uh I never got anyhelp.
But then I said, yes, we walkedwith this man and then to that
(06:46):
direction to the east of theplace where I stood, and I said
to myself, to this man.
But then we entered to a church.
I found people singing, Africansclapping hands, and there I was
looking pale and tears.
(07:09):
I I I could not understand howthese people are so happy, and
in that moment that the preachercame up with uh the gospel of
Jesus Christ uh about the powerof forgiveness, and I remembered
how I was so angry about myfather, and I was saying anytime
(07:36):
I I will meet wherever I will Iwill fight him, yeah, because
now I have a big young man, 16years old.
SPEAKER_01 (07:45):
And you were ready to fight him.
SPEAKER_00 (07:47):
I was ready.
Yeah, you know, it was reallytimely uh that uh I needed that.
And the preacher spoke about thepower of forgiveness and how the
Lord Jesus Christ came and diedfor the whole world, and whoever
believed in him should notperish but have eternal life.
(08:08):
And therefore, I felt I wasoppressed.
I had reached to the war becausethat's why I wanted to take away
my my life.
And thus the preacher, when hesaid he wants to pray for those
who want to uh to be truthful, Iraised my hand and I said, God,
(08:28):
help me save me from mysituation.
And uh then I felt uh relievedand uh I I I was prayed for and
uh I was calm.
But that was not the beginningof joy, it was not the beginning
(08:49):
of easy life, no, it wasn't.
It still was hard because afterI left uh it took a long time
for me to study and the Bible,but also struggling to get food
also.
Yes.
And so the with a goodsamaritan, I was able also to
(09:11):
get uh uh something for myself.
And then I started my thejourney to look for a job in the
city of Nairobi, eighty or fivekilometers away from where I
lived to the city of Nairobi.
And so that that was now thebeginning of me opened my eyes.
I cannot tell you the man whoreally bit my shoulder here and
(09:37):
then I looked at him and then wewalked with him to the church.
I've never seen him.
SPEAKER_01 (09:42):
You've never seen that God said I've never seen
him.
So this angel of God.
Yeah, but whether it was anactual angel or human, he was
just being an angel.
SPEAKER_00 (09:49):
He was really a major uh because when even now
when I look at it, I it soundedlike unbelievable.
Yeah.
How on earth?
And that I had I was there forat the bridge for quite some
times.
And then I uh somebody's youknow, beating my shoulder
behind, and then I looked andfound oh somebody.
(10:12):
Then we walked.
So the the right word is reallyan angel because I feel like it
was the angel of the Lord whosaved me.
I would have really died.
SPEAKER_01 (10:23):
You would have died that day.
SPEAKER_00 (10:24):
Yeah, I I would have jumped over, and uh that would
have been the end for me.
But God saved me, and then Ireached to Narodi.
There were so many of theproblems I tried to beg, but uh
I fortunately I was able, Godhelped me to uh get a place, and
(10:46):
that place was a nation family,and uh they opened for me.
They uh I I got an employment,and uh that employment was to uh
clean the house and uh washdishes, and the goodness of
everything was about every daygetting food, breakfast, lime.
SPEAKER_01 (11:08):
For the first time in your life, you have a house.
You're living in a remember inthe movie you talked about
eating some of the food you atewas the food that the family
didn't eat.
But it has dinner and then you'deat what was left over.
SPEAKER_00 (11:19):
Exactly.
That's what very, very true.
And uh that was now for me, Iwas very happy.
Yeah.
And there was no other good timelike when I came from the
streets and found a place whereI could get food every day,
every day.
And so that main motivated me towork and work hard.
(11:40):
And uh the, you know, withoutlimitation.
And I I worked with a lot ofconfidence and uh with a lot of
joy.
And so that's how it went.
SPEAKER_01 (11:51):
Interesting.
And you know, I wish um to dothis episode properly, I would
need to talk to you for aboutfour hours.
Because this is the best story.
So I'm gonna ask everyonewatching to please watch the
Molly movie.
You can it's a documentary thatyou guys can watch on uh Prime
Video is how I found your yourvideo.
And it goes through thisdetailed journey.
(12:11):
If it's okay, I'd like tosummarize just so that we can
move to this point.
But this idea of you you startworking for this family, you're
living in there, you'rebasically just keeping things
clean, and the mom seespotential in you and puts you in
charge of this massive farm.
You're you you have hundreds ofpeople that you're supervising.
So you went from being homeless,begging for food to now you're a
(12:34):
responsible leader in this home.
And you meet your wife who worksthere, beautiful wife, who's a
big part of the story, andhonestly, guys, watch the video
because she's she deserves herown movie as well.
And then you become anentrepreneur.
And this is so interestingbecause you go from being
homeless to being one of themost successful people in Kenya
(12:56):
as an entrepreneur.
So can you describe what lifewas like for you at that point?
You start having kids.
What was what was that part ofyour life like?
SPEAKER_00 (13:04):
Uh well, uh let me say first that uh uh having
worked so hard and uh God blessme to help uh little man, not
that much.
And then uh I entered into uhbusiness uh on taxes.
SPEAKER_01 (13:20):
Oh, that's right, taxes.
SPEAKER_00 (13:22):
Yes, taxes, yeah, tax, taxes, and therefore after
that then bought a fleet ofbuses, and then uh I I I got the
supply disposition of uh gas andoil in the supplying to the uh
Western Kenya.
Yeah, uh Western Kenya.
(13:43):
Uh it's a big, you know, uh weused to call province.
And that was my area supplyinguh gas.
And I remember also some of thetrucks came from Congo and
Uganda, uh all the way toMombasa, and then we pass
through our stores where we usedto supply them with the the the
(14:05):
the the gas sender and and andand and and and so forth.
So I grew grew up, I had also abusiness on uh uh real estate,
and uh we used also to givemoney to people by interest.
So so so that they could buycars or they could buy even
house or whatever.
And so they I I became uh reallya wealthy man at my age, and I
(14:32):
was too young.
I remember also was able tobuild uh pioneers for my family
and uh stone build, like justlike you.
SPEAKER_01 (14:42):
Yeah, this house is beautiful.
SPEAKER_00 (14:44):
Yeah, and uh it it was great.
Anyway, uh when I was stilldoing business and uh my car was
stolen by in Nairobi.
SPEAKER_01 (14:53):
I went to this is the pivotal moment where things
change.
So for the audience, this is thepart of the movie that's very
important to pay attention to.
So you're very successful.
You're flying around the world,I want to add.
You're flying around the world.
There's a scene in New Yorkwhere you're in the towers,
you're like, man, I've made it.
I am a global successfulentrepreneur.
You have more money than youcould have dreamed of having as
an eight-year-old.
(15:14):
And now you have your carstolen.
SPEAKER_00 (15:18):
Yes, and that time uh was uh the very best time
ever in my life, and enjoyingit.
The opposite moving everywhere,going Germany and uh USA, and uh
uh when when I record this, Isee it is like yeah, impossible.
(15:39):
Yeah.
Only God can make that happen.
Because it's just like a dream.
And so anyway, uh one time mycar was stolen when I was in
ROB, and then it uh that nowmade me to think about my early
time when I was young.
SPEAKER_01 (15:58):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (15:58):
Because I had forgotten about my my life when
I was young, and you know, whenyou have uh uh wealth and you
you forget.
People forget.
SPEAKER_01 (16:09):
It's for sure.
SPEAKER_00 (16:10):
We are human beings.
SPEAKER_01 (16:11):
We get used to whatever we have.
SPEAKER_00 (16:12):
Yeah.
And so the the the the st thestolen car, I've never found it
even today.
Yeah.
And therefore, that made me tofor three years, 1986 to 1989, I
was thinking about where God uhwhere that car was lost.
I always remembered that I nevergave them money.
SPEAKER_01 (16:35):
As you were parking your car, there were these
street boys and said, Hey, we'llwatch your car if you give us
money.
And you said, No, don't, I'm notgonna give you money.
And so it wasn't the car beingstolen, it was the boys that in
your head that really resonated.
Because you I think you you saidin the movie you felt connected
to those boys like that.
You saw yourself in it.
SPEAKER_00 (16:53):
I saw my eyes.
I when I looked at them, and uh,even when I saw uh uh women
carrying children at the backand walking in the street, I
felt like myself.
I saw myself in the eyes, and uhthat one now never gave me
peace.
In the year 1989, November 17,uh is when I could not work
(17:19):
anymore.
I was in my office and I took mycar.
I decided to go home so that Icould rest and then go to see
that a doctor uh because I Ifelt upset and uh things were
turning around.
Yeah.
And God was working uh uh in meand uh trying to the voice
(17:40):
telling me you are the one to goto rescue and be the father of
the fatherless.
Those children, they need afather.
You are the one, you have man,you I blow you up, I gave you
everything, you have everything,and I I want you to be the
father to them.
SPEAKER_01 (17:59):
And all the homeless that you could find, yes.
SPEAKER_00 (18:02):
For three years uh searching, three years, 1986 to
1989, and so that year, uh 1989,17th November, is when now uh I
couldn't, I took my car, I wasgoing home, I just got lost, I
went the way to Uganda, thatroad to Uganda, and I found
(18:22):
myself at a bridge.
Uh, that bridge I was crossing,then where I stopped.
But I could not understand foruh over 35 miles that I covered
not knowing where I'm going.
Yes, aimlessly, just driving.
I don't know where I was going.
(18:43):
And when I left my office, Itold myself that I was going to
my house to rest and also to askmy wife to come with me to
Oshtow.
So that's how it was.
But anyway, God had a purpose,and uh therefore from that time
I had a time with my childrenand then my wife.
SPEAKER_01 (19:04):
How many children did you have at this time?
SPEAKER_00 (19:06):
But that time I had eight.
SPEAKER_01 (19:07):
You had eight children at this time.
And your children were living avery good life.
SPEAKER_00 (19:12):
Yeah, very good life, and I had not one car, but
several cars.
So we we we lived our life ofafference.
Yeah and and so then I say tothem, to my family, now look up
here.
Me, the Lord has said I willserve him all the years of my
(19:33):
life, and I will be the fatherto the fatherless in this
country and beyond.
And I will never ever I willnever return back.
I'm going to be uh the servant.
I'm going to be the father ofall these children, boys and
(19:54):
girls, the little one and thebigger one.
So the following day, then Istarted the Walk and uh but it
went for some times, and so manypeople opposed my idea because I
was a leader in that church.
SPEAKER_01 (20:09):
And you were selling everything you owned.
You made a decision to sellevery business, all of your
assets.
If you were going to go straightto this part of the and one
thing I think Americans need tohear, because some of most of
our audience is gonna be inAfrica, but some Americans here
locally sometimes people willjudge the poor and the homeless
as being cursed.
And so you're being, it's yourchurch, they saw this as a
(20:31):
negative thing, right?
That that you were takingbecoming the father of all these
people.
SPEAKER_00 (20:36):
In fact, they were worried about uh my not only my
life, but my children and mywife.
SPEAKER_01 (20:42):
Sure.
SPEAKER_00 (20:43):
Uh the direction that I was taking, uh, they
thought that was very dangerous.
And uh they advised me, thepastors came and prayed with me,
and the elders and I told them,nobody can join me.
Me, I will never ever work formoney.
(21:04):
I want now to serve the Lord.
I will become the father to thefatherless, and I will feed them
and I will continue, and I willnever be the poor, and I'm ready
for anything.
And that one made them to beupset, and then they said, this
man is insane, he's mad.
(21:25):
Yeah, and uh he needs to betaken to a store to be checked.
And me, I said, No, my wife toldthem my husband is not really uh
mad, he he is he is if he ismad, is he is mad for Christ.
SPEAKER_01 (21:42):
How did how did you I've been wanting to ask you
this for the longest time.
How did you know that that wasGod telling you to do that?
What was it?
What was it was it just a reallystrong feeling?
Was it a vision?
Like how did you know?
Because this is so inspiring.
And for me, as someone who wantsto hear God's voice, I'd like to
know how he spoke to you.
SPEAKER_00 (22:01):
Yeah.
Uh and you know, uh God speaksto man in different ways,
approach, and uh for any visionthat that comes from him, even
since that when I said yes Lord,I'm going to serve you, that the
moment now he also equipped meand uh within more knowledge and
(22:26):
uh miracles also of healingpeople, miracles of uh of uh
being able to talk and to topeople to see something that
they are not able to see.
Yes.
And uh uh, you know, like uh theworld that uh oh I I I I was
(22:47):
asleep and I had cried and theycried and cried for almost two
weeks because we had lost threechildren who had died, and then
we had twenty more who arehospitalized.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (23:00):
And to give the audience some context, so where
to catch them up to speed, thisis a part of your story where
you come home, you tell yourfamily you're selling
everything, and then you s youjust start going to the slums
and finding homeless orphanchildren, and you just start
bringing them home.
And so you're growing, and thensome of your kids that you're
bringing, and you're just you'redoing this endlessly.
And and this is hard for yourkids, but you're bringing all
(23:22):
these homeless children home tobe their father and to give them
food and shelter.
But you're noticing, like inthis case of the well, they're
getting sick from water.
And so you're praying to God foran answer for the water.
So just so the audience knowswhat you're you're talking
about.
SPEAKER_00 (23:37):
Uh indeed, um uh it was really uh a great miracle.
Uh when when when when we youknow we came to this place and
uh there was no trees, therewere no bushes, it was uh you
know sandy and uh the windblowing, the soil and the dust,
(24:02):
you could see it blowing.
And uh that at the time we neverhad water, and that this water
down the river where we are, itwas somehow, but not only
polluted somehow.
And then the children got adecent tree and uh they were we
are and uh yeah, three of themthey died, and the 20 were
(24:24):
hostilized.
We took them to hostile and herethey were no hostel.
I had to drive 450 kilometersaway to take them to hostel,
very, very far.
And therefore, yeah, it wasanother big, big, big
temptation.
Uh that uh now to question God,why did you bring me in this uh
(24:46):
dry land here, no water?
Of course, we left a laboratewhere uh it was a green land,
very nice, raining throughoutthe year.
But we left there because therewas chaos.
The people were fighting uh eachother, tribes to try, and they
were it was not peaceful.
(25:06):
So that's why we ran and I bringbrought all the 312 children by
30 times.
SPEAKER_01 (25:13):
So I buy then by now you have 312 children that you
have?
Yes.
And you're building houses forthem, and you're spending all
your money that you sold fromyour business to build this this
land out here.
SPEAKER_00 (25:22):
Everything, and then then even uh blowing uh workers'
teachers, and because I opened aschool for them, and uh buying
the equipment that were needed,building houses here for them,
dormitories.
The we we lived in a very, verypoor uh kind of condition, let
(25:44):
me say that.
And uh by by the way, we we wewe had to go down.
I had also myself, my wife to godown to that key level so that
they could accept us.
Yeah.
And there because if we were toto remain up there, then we
could not hug them and stay withus.
(26:06):
So that was one of the thingsand uh the miracle after one
another, after seven years,eight years, when now uh my
account was going really down.
I remember I went to check howmuch money we have in the bank,
and uh to my surprise I found uhsome money, and uh that money
(26:31):
could take us for even threemonths, and then asked the bank,
uh the bank uh clerk uh wherehas this money come from?
Uh each for three times.
And they said, no, this is notmy money, right?
I don't expect this money.
So that was the first ever timeto get money through money
(26:53):
transfer, and uh it was wayback, long time ago, 1993, 1994,
that that time, and then we wewe kept out even from that time
in up to this day, our accounthas never ever uh gone to dry.
SPEAKER_01 (27:14):
Wow, neither has your water.
It just seems like the Lord hasprovided for you every step of
the way.
So you keep going in this way,miracle after miracle.
I'm gonna beg the audience toplease go watch the Molly movie
or read his book, because thestory is transformational.
Um, and now why don't you tellthe people watching how many
(27:35):
children have you helped raise?
How many, you know, campuses dowe have, that type of thing.
SPEAKER_00 (27:41):
Yeah, uh thank you.
Over the last 36 years had gone,since 1989, we have been able to
rescue over 40,000 children fromthe streets.
They're giving them educationright from grade one, grade
(28:03):
four, uh, because of the kidswhen they come, uh they drop
some of them, they drop schoolswhen they are in grade four or
grade six, others, grade, othersthey have never gone to school.
And so, anyway, over 40,000 uhyoung people, boys and girls,
they have gone through thisprogram.
(28:24):
And those who have only stayedhere for about uh uh let's say
six years now, six years, andthey we have trained them.
Uh they came when they are alittle bigger.
Uh they they were able to gettrained on carpentry, on
building and construction, on umon um motor mechanics and the
(28:46):
apriculture, so many of thethings that we do: cosmetics and
uh uh beta therapy, sewing,tailoring, cloth designing, and
all these things and thehospitality that we have in
Yataguli College, uh, where wetrain them.
So we have a big, big number atthat time, and then we help
(29:09):
them.
Those are the the ones, but wehave the little kids, those who
are even born here.
SPEAKER_01 (29:14):
Yes, you have one month-year-old babies because
you have what's interesting isthe kids.
One year, two years, all the wayto high school, and then many of
your your kids have gone on.
This is why it's the largestfamily in the world, because
these children literally callyou uh Daddy Mully.
And they they just it's veryobjective.
It's like, yeah, Daddy Mollysays this, and they go and
become lawyers and doctors,they've completed in global
(29:36):
competitions, even in America,even in the yeah, we have uh uh
one uh professor in uh oncology,yeah, and uh in Tennessee, and
then we have also others in themost who have done also their
PhD.
SPEAKER_00 (29:51):
Uh, we have also another one who is doing uh
final year also in university inMichigan and the uh in Canada as
well.
We have a quite a uh a bignumber.
And the uh doctor of medicineand the nurses in Germany,
because Germany we have about27.
(30:11):
And those 27, uh about 10 to 12,they are married already, and uh
they are their life, uh, youknow, and they serve.
And one of the things that givesme a lot of joy is to be able to
see that them having uh theirown families.
SPEAKER_01 (30:32):
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (30:32):
And uh most importantly, it's about the
ethical uh way of life, the waythey have been taught about the
word of God here, and thecounseling and the guidance and
mentorship that they getthroughout when they are here,
and the prayers.
They have never departed fromthere.
(30:54):
They take the same, same thingadded to the entire world in
Africa, as well as in Europe andthe Middle East, and the
America, of course, and the andthe and the and the yeah.
Yeah, so there are so manycountries in the industry.
SPEAKER_01 (31:13):
And and so many of your children come back to live
here and they come back to helpbuild it.
So just for a very quick likepicture and again of plea, an
emphasis to go watch this movie,is that there was a dry barren
land and now there's trees.
You have planted tens ofmillions of trees that have
created a completely differentecosystem now.
It rains here as we had to stepin here for our interview
because it's raining so much.
(31:34):
There is water, and the water inthe food isn't just for your
family, you're giving it to thecommunities, you're you're
taking in everybody.
You never say no.
And as this continues to grow, II had a privilege of
interviewing a number of yourchildren yesterday or grown who
who came in as young.
My wife and I noticed there's apattern.
They say beforehand they weredestitute, they were starving,
(31:56):
they were desperate, and they'dgiven up hope.
You brought them in.
They were given love, food,spiritual nourishment.
And they say above all,spiritual nourishment was the
most important.
That important.
And there's this thing calledforgiveness that is core to
every single person.
Can you talk to me a little bitabout this pattern of helping
(32:18):
rehabilitate these children intobecoming these highly successful
professionals?
SPEAKER_00 (32:23):
Yes.
Uh, one of the things is itstarts with the love.
Love is a very powerful tool uhthat we can use in this world
and uh be able also to listen tothem.
The humility also of myselfgoing down and train them that
if we want to aim to dosuccessful, to live in peace
(32:44):
with one another, it's by love,it's also ours have to humble
ourselves to be able tounderstand also the problem, the
needs of others.
It's not about me, it's aboutthe other one who has got a need
and how you can help that otherperson.
So that is what the alarming.
(33:06):
And when I look at it, I seethat uh a bright future for our
nation, uh bright future forAfrica, because these young
people are really fiery becausewhen they leave this place, they
have something very special, andthat is about knowing their
rights, and knowing again thatJesus Christ is the savior, and
(33:31):
that having knowing other peopleas people created by the image
of God.
So that one, and then workinghard.
We uh we train them.
You have to work hard, you haveto be honest, be obedient to
God, and again extend that loveto others.
So that made really miracles andthey made these young people to
(33:55):
be uh to be uh uh dependent uhwhen the other people they
depend.
Even universities.
There is a good record, trackrecord of the money children
family, young people who go touniversal local universities
abroad, their behavior, they areleaders, that you have trained
them to become leaders.
(34:16):
They they they are able tolisten.
Their minds are mature.
By the time a child here is 14years, oh, it's quite quite
quite mature.
They reason out anybody, theycan talk about themselves.
So that is the power uh givingto these young people, and I see
it uh not only in Africa or herein Kenya, but uh globally, uh
(34:41):
the the world be changed andthat we don't look at ourselves.
Let us look what we can do forothers, but then when you say,
ah, what they can do to me, no,what they can do for others.
SPEAKER_01 (34:56):
Dr.
Malene, thank you so much forbeing here.
You the people who are watchingthis, we are a prayer-based
community.
What can we pray for to helpyou?
Because obviously you have nowyou have campuses in and out of
Kenya, you are expanding, yourchildren are starting to take
over operations.
Those those wonderful eightchildren are each highly trained
leaders who are taking on yourlegacy.
(35:17):
But what can we pray for to helpyou?
SPEAKER_00 (35:20):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Uh my prayer request is aboutthe Mullish children family will
continue to flourish, uh, to winuh many young people who are
still in the streets, not onlyhere in Kenya, but of our other
countries in Africa, uh, that uhthat love may not fail, not go
(35:45):
down.
But we will continue to havethat love because that with that
love, that love of God being youknow inside us, we can try, but
we fail.
And so please uh uh those whoare watching uh this wonderful
interview, I would like to saythat uh uh pray for us.
(36:07):
Number two, uh, whenever youfeel touched, uh you can also.
I was a business man and uh manyyears ago, but I gave it all uh
to save lives.
But it is the benefit that I'vegotten is more than any other
pattern.
And I count myself as one of therichest patterns in the whole
(36:30):
world.
Why?
It is because I'm not workingfor money, I am not paid because
everything that I get is only tofor these children whom you can
hear now singing and where weare going right now for the
worship service.
And so it it is you you pleaseuh join us and in making my
(36:53):
dreams a reality.
Win the whole world globally.
Help the the children, help thewomen also have been isolated
and this beaten, and they're youknow uh they need help.
And we need also uh also supportfrom you through press as well
(37:15):
as financial support.
SPEAKER_01 (37:17):
You recently had Elder Rasband visit last week
from our church, the Church ofJesus Christ of Latter-day
Saint.
And then you also went to theopen house of the Nairobi
temple.
Was just sharing your yourthoughts on those two
experiences.
SPEAKER_00 (37:30):
Well, um I think uh for me, uh not only thinking,
but I really uh get it into myheart that uh they are full of
uh uh love and appreciate verymuch the work of God that is
going on here at MoolishChildren's Family.
And uh they also were able, Ithink it was about two or three
(37:54):
weeks, when uh Apostle Rasbandflew all the way from USA.
Then we had a meeting in ROB,and our children they just
arrived from Canada, theyacquire, and we had a great time
together, and they offered a bigcheck, and that big check will
(38:17):
help us mostly to buy books anduh text books as well, and they
help the education sectorbecause it's very expensive, and
we have more than 9,000children, those whom we are
taking care of.
SPEAKER_01 (38:31):
Yes, currently active.
SPEAKER_00 (38:33):
Total total BMA in Kenya and uh in Tanzania.
Yeah.
So it needs really, it needshelp, uh, prep uh uh support and
also financial support, but alsofor those who give uh the toward
uh that uh good cause.
Uh I want to thank you so, so,so much.
(38:56):
And uh may the Lord bless youand continue to really to uh to
pray for us, and we shall bepraying.
And we really pray for all thosepeople, even those whom we do
not know.
We always pray for you becausewe are doing not the work of the
Mooli or Dr.
Mooli.
(39:16):
No, it is the work of the Lord100%, and I believe so, and
that's why we are growing theway we are going, because we are
serving the mighty God and hispeople.
