The pivotal moment came when God directed him to sell everything, his businesses, cars, and assets, to become a father to the fatherless.Dr. Mulli details the spiritual struggle and the incredible faith required to transition from a life of wealth to serving the poorest of the poor. He recounts the early challenges of caring for children in a dry, barren land, including the tragic loss of children due to illness, and the subsequent miracles of provision, from finding unexpected money transfers to the incredible provision of water that has since transformed the land into an abundant, green ecosystem.Today, MCF is recognized as the largest family in the world, having rescued and rehabilitated over 40,000 children.

He later channeled his work ethic into a lucrative business career, becoming one of Kenya's wealthiest individuals.The Pivotal Moment: His comfortable life was interrupted by a deep spiritual conviction, sparked by the sight of street boys watching his car—a scene that mirrored his own childhood. He felt called to become a father to the fatherless.The Power of Forgiveness: A profound message on the power of forgiveness heard in a church service saved him from committing suicide at age 16 and later enabled him to release his anger toward his father, becoming a core principle of MCF’s rehabilitation program.A Legacy of Miracles: Learn about the incredible divine intervention that sustained MCF, including the moment a missing car led to a three-year quest for purpose, and the unexpected financial transfers that ensured the ministry never ran dry.The Largest Family in the World: MCF has rescued and educated over 40,000 children, many of whom return as doctors, engineers, and teachers to serve the next generation.Discover the miracles, the struggles, and the foundational principles of love and mentorship that have allowed Dr. Mulli to become a father to over 40,000 children and transform a dry, barren landscape into a thriving, self-sustaining family.You can also watch the documentary about Dr. Mulli and MCF: The Mully Movie (available on Prime Video). https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Mully/0JGL274EWOE7V9N8U3TRQ8LWNNSend us Fan Mail
