Welcome to the website of Rose Creek Village, home to about 285 people, who have come together for no other reason than to live every day in the love and will of God.
We are people who believe that Jesus Christ (whom we refer to by his Hebrew name, Yahshua) is really the Son of God and can really do the things he said he can do: that he can deliver us from the ways of this world and create a love and unity within us so startling that it would cause the world around us to marvel and believe. Over the last fifteen years, beginning in Florida and now here, nestled among the lovely, rolling hills of west Tennessee, we have been delighted to watch him fulfill our belief in ways we never dreamed possible.
“What we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked upon and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of Life...that we declare to you” (1 John 1:1,3).
On this web site, we want to share with you the fruits of simple obedience to God that we have actually experienced. We make no claims to fancy or advanced Bible doctrines, but we do claim that God is faithful, good, and worthy of the everything he demands of those who would be Christ’s disciples.
This is a letter from Noah Taylor, founder of Rose Creek Village, who is in Africa helping to build up the church in
Nakuru, Kenya.
It is always a shock for any American, no matter how much he or she loves the Lord, to see a 3rd-world country; especially a slum like the one in which we work in Nakuru.
There is always so much for us to learn. We share this with you so that you might get a glimpse of the Lord’s dealings with us and hopefully as an exhortation to you as well.
Dearest Fellow Soldiers and Workers in the Village,
I am writing this letter because I know you are experiencing some difficult and hard times. We have felt the battle here and at home growing more intense everyday.
I want you to know how much I love and respect all of you. We have seen and experienced things here that most people in America would never dream could happen to other human beings: men burned in the street for stealing a bike; women left to slowly starve to death with their children because their husband either died of AIDS or left them.

This is an update from our missionaries to Kenya. We’ve had three people in Nakuru, Kenya for over six weeks now, and they’ll return April 22. The story of how this church started there is a marvelous one.
The church is located in a slum. Even outside of the slum, Kenyans are poor, with an unemployment rate over 60%. When we visited last spring, a young man explained how many of them make a living.

Rather, He created obedience by patient, self-sacrificing love and allowing the truth to slowly take root in their minds as they watched His good example and love for them.

When I’m enjoying myself, nine times out of ten I’ll start cruising along in that mentality and I’ll want it to stay that way. Who doesn’t?

Aletheia lives on another plane of existence. She sees and walks around in a realm that we cannot see.
Well, we’re not doing awesome at getting new articles up, but we are doing okay!
It’s very sad that we haven’t done a better job of getting the plethora of writings we create up on the web. It’s almost hard to fathom how around 175 people of teen years and above can’t get a writing a week up on the web, but it’s so.
But we’re improving!
And we’ve got several people involved!
Yippee!
