I was born in a Christian home and saved at church camp while a youth. I heard the call of God to be a minister and left for Bible School in 1971. I am an ordained minister with 20 years experience.
I have been serving as a amongst my own tribal people, the Luo, along the eastern shore of Lake Victoria. Our ministry is a typical Pastoral ministry of evangelism, discipling, and preaching. Because of my experience I supervise younger Pastors. Over the years I have started 11 churches. My best estimate is that I have led over 2000 to Christ and baptized over 500.
My family lives in a two room house made with mud walls and a grass roof. One room is for sleeping and the other is the living room. We cook outside. We eat corn meal
Because my tribe, the Luo, have generally refused to abandon traditional sexual practices, they are one of the most highly HIV infected groups in the world. Evangelism is very urgent. The people are open to the gospel. Death is very real here.
My needs are $80/month. Currently I receive a salary of $25/month from my church. Having a sponsor would provide more funds for traveling to the villages for evangelism, as well as provide for my families needs.
Report Files Every 4 months sponsorship funds are sent to the preachers. With it goes a Missionary Report Form for each one to complete and return to our office. After compilation of statistics they are forwarded by mail or email to the sponsors. Below are past report forms from this preacher. They have been modified to protect the financial data of the sponsor.
To date this preacher has:
Churches Started | 42 | Villages Evangelized | 208 | Professions of Faith | 660 | Believers Baptized | 581 | What do these mean?

I accepted Jesus Christ in the year of 1975. I was about 10 years old when my parents spoke to me of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They had already accepted Christ. When I received Christ I felt the washing away of my sins and now I am enjoying the blessings of the Lord. When I was 20 years old I began studying at the Esdras Bible Institute. After my graduation, the Lord put me to pastoring a church and since then I am working in the ministry of the Lord. My wife was saved at age sixteen and also graduated from Esdras. ...Read More
