Kenneth Acha Ministries and other charitable organizations are occasionally subject to phishing attacks (e.g., scams sent by email, text, or mail). These scams often involve individuals or groups of individuals impersonating or claiming to be acting on behalf of KAM. We value the support of our donors and partners, who give generously to support the work we do. Sadly, online and telephone scams have been on the rise around the world, and many innocent and kind people are being victimized. We urge you to be smart and cautious about all emails and phone calls you receive requesting donations or personal information of any kind.
It has come to our attention that scammers have been using our organization’s name and likeness to request funds from random people throughout the U.S. for multiple reasons. We want to protect our partners from such scams. Here are some tips to protect yourself:
- The website for Kenneth Acha Ministries, a U.S.-based organization, is www.kennethacha.org.
- If you have any doubts, type www.kennethacha.org directly into your browser.
- If you have any questions, please contact us here.
Here is some information regarding recent scams:

- July 2023 – We were informed that an individual called on behalf of Brooke Faith Ministries. We don’t have any more information than this.
If you have received an email or a phone call you think maybe a scam asking for a donation from us, we urge you not to respond. These emails are not legitimate. Either delete the email or report it to www.ic3.gov.
