MY LIFE AND THE EXPERIENCE

Please This is my life History, and Experience.

MY LIFE.
I am the first born son among nine children, born from a Christian mother and a heathen father. In My family, God saved me and my mother alone, whereas others are decided not to give their lives to Christ, but we are still praying for them.

Due to the salvation that I professed, I got much trouble with my father who is still unsaved. The troubles chased me out of home and when I was only 16 years old, that is between 1997 to 1999, I was a street boy in one of the small towns of Kenya.I decided to live my life out of God's word, due to the painful sufferings and memories of my life. I spoke to myself and said, God was not there, and if HE was there then HE did not care about me. The questions were, why does God allow me, as young as I am to pass through hatred? I entered into drugs such as smoking Bang' and local alcohol called Chang'aa in Kenya.My life was in a mess, for those two years, I was a street boy. I did not care about anything, one thing I wanted God to do for me was to strangle and kill me. I became a hawker, selling cookies, candies and of course drugs,I used to travel many times as I do the business.

MY SALVATION.
It was in 1999, at exactly 3:00 p.m,in September, when I was on my daily business trips, that our van got an accident, which left two people dead, I was the immediate person to die, but immediately I heard a voice telling me, "I HAVE SPARED YOUR LIFE FOR A PURPOSE" I was then rushed to hospital with some few external and internal injuries. I regained my conscience, and the voice again told me "Thomas, I have chosen you, but you have decided to ignore me, If you give me a chance in your life, I will turn it, around and use you for my glory, I will also bring great men to you, which some will take you to their countries as a mighty man of God." I then gave my life to Jesus that year in November, and decided to turn my life around for Jesus.

MY MINISTRY'S CALLING.
The Lord called me into Ministry in April between 28th to 30th every night was a calling night. HE told me that He have called me to be an Apostle to the world. From there I was given a chance to be the chief Usher under my first ever church. The calling was reaffirmed when my Bishop, called me and prophesied the same in 2002 and gave me the post of the Assistant Pastor, and the coordinator of all the cell groups in our church. The Bishop then sent me to the Bible School in Jan 2003, which I took my first year Certificate in Church Ministries. I then continued for other two more years and got my Advanced Diploma in Biblical Studies, then again I continued a with another two years in my studies and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Bible Theology. I ma currently doing a distant studies for my Masters with LANDMARK BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY from Texas, U.S.A. I also got ordained by COMMERCE COMMUNITY CHURCH, under SHALOM MINISTRY INC, from Des Moines Iowa, U.S.A. While in the Bible school, I managed to open three churches, which are doing very well, and I too pastored one of them.

MINISTRY OPERATIONS.
I have been able to move to some few different countries of Africa to preach there, these countries include: Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC Congo.
On December 2007,I then began a small fellowship, after graduating with a Bachelors Degree. The fellowship began as an evening prayers between neighbors, which turned to be a church. We are currently having an average of (20)adults. And are in the process of seeking for registration, though in Kenya the minimum requirements are a number for registration is 50 adults, a church bank account, which we have but is not active, a land belonging to the church, which we are still believing God for, and Instruments which we do not have even a microphone.

Favorite Music

I'm here to:

To make friends and break grounds for missionaries, preachers and foreign visitors to come and bless the people of Kenya, and Africa at large. I want also to collaborate, connect and work together with the willing Men of God.

I wanted a little rest and relaxation, but it turned out differently. We visited some tourist attractions with our guys. They had a great time. I was exhausted yet glad that our guys enjoyed themselves. They had never been to a resort before. Now that I'm back home, all I want to do is sleep. I did just that the first day back! lol Well, you be blessed and stay in touch.

I've recently returned from vacation, and now having computer problems, so I haven't been as active on UC as usual. I hope you've had an opportunity to meet new friends here as well as invite your old friends. Stay encouraged and may the Lord continually bless you.
