One day I was by the Market Centre when I heard a Baptist preacher having a crusade. I saw my sins and repented and was saved. When I went home I told my wife what had happened to me and I took her to the church where she too became convicted and was saved. Since that day we have been faithful in church. After the first three years I felt the calling of God into the ministry so I enrolled in the Baptist Bible institute in Eldoret and was trained by Missionary Randall Stirewalt. I graduated in 1999.
For a time I was the youth leader, then I began training others for the ministry and now there are two men serving whom I trained. Then I went out and started a church in the Busia District. I speak the languages of the Luhya, Luo and Swahili. My wife and I are both from the Luhya tribe. In our district all of our churches work together to help each other spiritually and financially so I give much of my time to helping the other pastors.
I cannot do much for the other churches economically because I have a family budget of about $53 but my church pays me only about $21. That is all they have because our nation is poor and we have suffered for years with drought and civil and tribal war. To feed my family I have to spend time working in the fields and that takes time away from the ministry. With your support I will be able to be full time in the ministry and accomplish so much more for the glory of God. Until then I will continue to serve as best I can and help to bring my country to Christ.

I was born in a Christian family who went to church every Sunday and I sang in the choir.I thought I was going to heaven.A Baptist preacher came and witnessed and I realized I was a sinner.At this time I surrendered my life to Jesus and was baptized. In a discipleship class I was taking, I heard the pastor read Isaiah 6:8.I realized God was looking for men to join His army so I went forward.God touched my heart to go to Bible School.I surrendered my life completely to Him and now I am serving God all the time.
My wife was born in a non-Christian home.When I went with the Baptist pastors to evangelize, we met her and her parents.We witnessed to her at that time and she was saved.She came the next Sunday to service and promised to come every week.We were married later and now she is teaching a Sunday School class and is a wonderful mother to seven children. ...Read More
