Paul Kamau is passionate about his work for the Association of Kenya Feed Manufacturers (AKEFEMA) and about God. Last year he took the helm of AKEFEMA, which brings together animal feed manufacturers to facilitate top-notch products in Kenya. He’s a fireball with a mission, who may be able to open many doors for Eagles’ Wings. Before joining AKEFEMA, Paul was the center manager at The Nest Children’s Home, just outside Nairobi. In addition to his administrative duties, he successfully raised funds for the home. At the same time, he and his wife, Betty, have owned and operated Blessed Christian Centre School since 2014. For more than 20 years, Paul has successfully raised funds for several Kenyan organizations. such as Kenya Girl Guides, Africa Educations Trust, Girl Child Network, and the African Network for Prevention and Protection Against Child Abuse & Neglect. Paul is also keen to protect and grow his family with Jesus as the Head. He ensures he has time with his wife and their two sons, Daniel and Thomas. The family is active at The Kenya Assemblies of God Church at Bahati where Paul is the Secretary of the Men’s Fellowship and Coordinator of the Church Social Ministry. Betty is the Head of the Children’s Church. Thomas plays Saxophone in the church Worship Band. Daniel is a member of the teen’s church. Most impressive is that Paul began life under exceptionally meager conditions, yet he propelled himself above the circumstances. In order for him to study as a small child, Paul had to use the light of a smokey fire, which eventually blinded him in one eye. Paul is more than a conqueror.
Maggie received her call to rescue families from sex slavery in October of 2014 while attending IRIS Harvest School of Missions in Pemba, Mozambique, which is run by Heidi and Rolland Baker. From the school, she moved directly to Nairobi, Kenya, where she launched On Eagles’ Wings. God is pulling on all of her past service as a Christian for this new work. Soon after becoming a Christian 20 years ago, God called her to do a small part in racial reconciliation, so she joined St. Stephens African Methodist Episcopal Church (A.M.E.) in Elkridge, Maryland, where she worked with the youth and taught adult Bible Study.For four years, Maggie spearheaded a healing room at Kingdom Life Christian Church in Bradenton, Florida, where God healed numerous physical and emotional ailments, including a goiter, breast tumors, and addictions. She also previously led a team to local strip clubs, taking gifts and demonstrating Christ’s love to the dancers and bouncers.

Daniel, 35, earned a diploma in Banking from Kenya Polytechnic in 2004. With high marks, he then was accepted to into a program that sent him from Kenya to study in Germany with additional help from his parents. When he arrived at Giessen University in Germany, he completed a year in foundational studies, then began a program in Electrical Engineering at Technische Universität in Darmstadt. During his second year in University, Daniel began a successful business shipping goods between Germany and Kenya. After four semesters at the university, Daniel left his studies to take on the business full-time. Daniel married a German woman, Marielis, and they moved their daughter and their business to Nairobi in 2010. They continued the shipping business until they decided in 2018 to give back to the community by opening a school that serves middle class and poor children. The school began with seven children and boomed in 2019 when they signed on 25 students. They teach Math, Science, Geography, English and German. As strong Christians, the family attends the Seventh Day Adventist Church. They also volunteered at On Eagles’ Wings, teaching and playing with our children. They now live near the school with their two daughters, Comfort and Malaika.
Rev. Cathy Willett brings a strong passion to our Board of Directors, aimed at rectifying injustices, especially for women and children. She has served as a minister since 2009 and was ordained in 2016 at St. Stephen’s A.M.E. Church in Elkridge, MD, in the US. She also has worked as an interpreter for the deaf for 40 years and counting. Now working fewer hours, she thinks now is the time for her to become a greater advocate for justice.Cathy and her late husband, Archie, raised five children in Maryland, but she recently sold their big house to set up home near her daughter’s family in Virginia. This allows her to enjoy being on grandma duty and still minister to the St. Stephen’s AME Church congregation. OEW’s Executive Director Maggie Friedrich also belonged to St. Stephen’s Church for five years in the 1990’s while living in Columbia, Maryland. Even after all these years, she is still welcomed as family when she steps inside the church.
