I received Jesus Christ as my Saviour on 6-8-89 after I heard the message from a Baptist Pastor, Justus Lukakha. His message was preached in Namayiakato Baptist Church. I heard the message and received the Lord as my Saviour when the word of God was read to me. I also received my baptism on 8-8-89. I attended Eldoret Baptist institute from 1993-1996 knowing God wanted to use me to help plant new churches, I gave my heart to full time service.
I work in church planting, tribal and open-air evangelism, discipleship, and children's ministry. I am not a Bible schoolteacher but l does work with the Pastor's Fellowship in Busia. I train men in my church. I have started and work as Pastor at Musamgo Baptist Church. I have led 150 souls to Christ and baptized 63. I work with other preachers by visitation and evangelistic meetings, youth and leader's meetings and also preachers fellowship meetings.
I have one baby who is dedicated to the Lord but not old enough to understand salvation. My family lives in a grass-thatched house with two rooms. Our favorite food is uga or bread, beans and tea. I typically do visitation daily. The members live far from the church and I don't have a bicycle so I am limited to about 5 houses a day. My wife also makes visitation in the women's homes and even has meetings with them. However, before she goes on visitation she cooks for the family. I grow some food and purchase other food items that I can't grow.
My monthly income is limited, which I receive from the church I minister to. I am not employed by any denomination. The other job I do to provide for my family is to cultivate my plot farm, growing food. I pray you may be able to join God's work through the ministry here by sending financial and prayer support that I might work more efficiently for Him.

I was born in a Christian family. Through their influences I became a half Christian and half pagan - a lost hypocrite who although attended church services every Sunday danced actually to the times of the devil's drumbeat. I became aware of my lostness when a brother preached a message of the subject of sin and God's judgment. The passage that the preacher read was Romans 3:23, 24. I was convicted of my sins and I repented before God and prayed that He would make me a new man. And he did just that. Henceforth I was changed. Then in 1988 the Lord called me into the ministry. I started preaching but I did not know how to preach. My brother George Opiyo taught me a bit of what he called homiletics. I improved. Later I joined a 1 year Bible course in Nairobi and I am now actively involved in church planting apart from pastoring a church. ...Read More
