Kionyo Independent Fellowship Kionyo Market, Nyamache, Kenya Click this link to: Email Pastor Machuki Facebook Page Back to Kenya Page My names are Machuki Mosiori from the sub-county of Nyamache, Kisii, Kenya. Me and my wife Hellen, pastor the Kionyo Market Church where we worship God and minister the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have been blessed me with seven children, who has blessed us with seven grandchildren. Donate I received Christ in my life when I was young in school years. whereby I walked him in my life one year. The brother who introduced Christ to me was continually messing with me to the point I had to separate from his friendship. I finished school in 1993 and became I got sick. When I was released by the hospital I had not fully recovered. I thought going to magicians and drinking herbs would help, but still did not recover. On March 27, 1993 I became so seriously sick I could see that my life was over as I sat under a tree. I started calling Christ in my life, asking Jesus to save me if I was going to die. In that moment the Lord sent a servant to me, who testified that Jesus healed him and saved his life, and he would do the same for me. I felt the need to have Christ in my life and the servant prayed for me to be healed in the name of Jesus. This servant read to me from Galatians 5:19, that tells about iniquities in somebody. I received Jesus and by faith believed what was being read to me from the bible. We left and went to a meeting were people were having a three day fellowship. During that meeting I was filled with the holy Spirit started talking in tongues. In 1994 God called me to serve in His vineyard. I started serving at the Pentecostal Global Impact ministry, but now fell the need to leave and be connected to someone who would help me reach the lost souls from the house of Israel, and minister to orphans and widows according to James 1:27. I have been able to raise up a small group of believers who are excited about the kingdom of God. We became connected to Bless Ministries of Mobile, Alabama, and we are enjoying the many things they have presented to help us learn and grow. I am a peasant farmer who works the field for food and money to supply for my family. We long for the time we have enough to live fulltime, working and ministering for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Firm Faith Church Burumba, Busia, Kenya Donate Click this link to: Email Pastor Robert Facebook Page Back to Kenya Page I am Robert Wafula. My family and I are the pastoral family for the Firm Faith Church of Burumba, a small village near Busia in a Western Provence of Kenya. I was borne 1983 to my mother who was a second wife to my father. In 1990 my father left my mother and I and we were under the care of my step mother. Am a seventh borne of my father and the only child to my mother. I was in school from 1989-2002. This time in my life was difficult with much hardship. In 2004 I married my beautifully wife Philister. God has blessed us with 4 boys. Our first and second borne are in high school (see picture). The other two boys are in the 4th and 5th grades. We are expecting a fifth child in March 2023. My wife being a saved woman, continued praying over me day and night because I was a drinker of alcohol, and I did not believe in Jesus Christ. I used to hear her praying for me at night, to stop drinking alcohol. Every Sunday she would invite me to go with her to church. One day God answered her prayer and I decided to go with her. As the minister was preaching I found myself crying. The pastor led me in a repentant prayer and that day in 2005 I began following Jesus as my personal savior. In 2009 I was appointed as a Sunday School teacher. The church appointed me as a deacon in 2012 and I chose to enroll in a local bible college. I served them as a deacon for five years until I moved away in search of a job. Being unable to find work I went back home. I spent time praying and seeking the Lord for spiritual direction and God planted a word in my spirit from Acts 26:18. This gave me a desire to preach the Word of God. In 2018 my family moved to a nearby town and started preaching to some teenagers that we took into our home to live with us. As we started having evening prayers together I began preaching every evening. One Sunday my wife and I decided to have a church service and we invited some people to join us. That morning three people joined our fellowship and we had the birth of our church. It has been four years now and we have a membership of 67 believers. We conduct Sunday services and continue growing our youth outreach and elderly ministries. We spent twenty-seven days in prayer, seeking to connected with a ministry that would help us grow into our destiny, by the will of God. We began seeking the Holy Spirit the partner we could connect with. We were browsing on the internet and came across Bless Ministries of Mobile, Alabama. As we read through the website we were touched with the things this ministry taught and made available for others worldwide. The Holy Spirit helped us to understand Johnny Holland and Bless Ministries was the right servants of the Lord to partner with and help us fulfil the vision we have been given from the Lord. Our vision is to raise a firm generation of prayerful people unto the Lord, Jesus Christ. We will do this by teaching the word of God in such a way it empowers individuals with skills and education that will transform lives for the kingdom of God. It is our vision to purchase land and build our own church complex. We pray the Lord will favor our work to plant many churches throughout our region using crusades and conference. I do desire to be a full time minister, but for now I work as in masonry by profession. The day will come that the Lord blesses our ministry for the work we are doing where I can be full time. As we continue to learn from the advantages of partnering with Bless Ministries of Mobile, Alabama, our congregation will grow into a powerful extension into the Body of Christ.

BLESS India Andhra Pradesh, India Click this link to: Email Pastor Michael View Facebook Page Webs ite Donate Back to India Page I am Michael Kongala, the founder of BLESS, which is an acronym for Brothers in the Lord for Evangelism and Social Services. ​ ​ In 1999, out of my desire to reach the untouchable, underprivileged, and destitute people of India, I started BLESS to minister the gospel among those who would be forgotten. The power of the gospel is showing all the people of india that there are no classes of people, but only individuals that need the love of God to have real change in the world. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ I was born as one of the untouchable people, in a family that is the lowest class in the Indian culture. My father, Reverend K. Bhaskar Rao is a pastor to the people of Ponnur in Andhra Pradesh, India. He and my mother, Sarah, work together ministering the gospel to the people of Ponnur. My father is a man that has had to overcome being from the poorest class of people, the Dalits. We want to thank Mark and Pamela Rohr from the United States, for becoming hands on partners with us. They have taken a personal interest in helping to generate donations and enlarge our activities with Bless Ministries. Please view the video of their visit to our work. ​ ​ 3000 years ago the Hindu religion propagated to the people of India that there are four main caste (classes) of people: the Brahmins made up of priest and teachers; the Shatriyas consisting of rulers and soldiers; the Vaisyas being the merchants and traders; and the Sudras, the laborers and servants. There is an additional class that is considered lower than the four social structures of humanity, and this is the Dalits. The Dalits are approximately 300 million people that are considered "untouchable." Literally, the Indian people will not touch the Dalits because they are considered so worthless. Their position in Asian society is justified by ancient Hindu religious texts such as The Laws of Manu. Dalits are expected to perform menial, degrading tasks that include unclogging sewers, disposing of dead bodies and cleaning latrines. Dalits are forced to live in separate settlements, prohibited from worshiping in temples, barred from using the village wells, and their children are often denied education or made to sit in the back of the classroom. ​ ​ The Indian constitution outlaws the caste (class) system and reserves nearly 25 percent of government jobs and university spots for Dalits. However, more than a million of these posts remain unfilled, or filled by dishonest non-Dalits. Even simple Dalit assertions of their lawful rights and privileges have touched off hate crimes against them by members of the upper castes. These have included rape, harassment, violence and murder. The average literacy rate among Dalits is approximately 37 percent. Among some Dalit communities it is as low as 10 percent. Every hour, two Dalits are assaulted, three Dalit women raped, two Dalits murdered and two Dalit houses burned, according to the Human Rights Education Movement of India. Yet, only one percent of those who commit crimes against Dalits are ever convicted. In India alone, the combined population of Dalits and other low-caste groups equals approximately 700 million people. This may help you understand what it means to be like an untouchable caste man in India. I was born in such caste. I faced many embarrassment moments in my life being untouchable. Untouchables don’t have freedom as others even though India got freedom 75 years ago. Indian Dalits are still under the bondage of high caste people. The good news is the majority of Indian Christians are untouchables and finding freedom in Christ. We are so thankful to the Lord our God, who treats every man in creation as equal without any differences. When I was an young boy, I was shy and timid. I kept my faith mostly to myself and I was not being bothered about my appearance. As I began to enter my teenage years, I became very keen about how I looked. One day, as I was looking at myself in the mirror, I was curious about the scars on my body. I could see burnt marks on my ears and arms. I didn’t know how or when these marks appeared. When I asked my Mum and Dad, they told me I was in a bitter incident at the age of 13 months. As a baby, I was playing on the bed fell into a hot dish full of boiling spicy soup. I was burnt severely and hospitalized. My condition was so severe my parents, being in the state of depression, cried out to Jesus for help. My father made a promise in the presence of the Lord, that he would dedicate his son [me] for the Lord’s work if He would save his son from the effects of this terrible accident. God heard his cry and was so gracious to me. I was completely healed. This bitter incident has changed my life in big way. I surrendered myself to the Lord and I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior that day. I praise God for his wonderful miracle that took place in my life. God gave me a vision and passion to love and care for the orphans, hungry, and homeless children, the elderly and lepers in our communities. We do this by conducting mass crusades, pastors conferences, and boring wells to supply fresh water supplies. We work to educate people to become self-reliance as we develop communities with training life skills for jobs and a better way of life. We are now building a school that we can use to educated the children as well as adults. With their newfound freedom in Jesus Christ, for the first time in centuries, our people can overcome the brutal class system that has dominated the Indian social structure. This school is one of our ways to make real change in our country. Donations Donate P lease pray for ways you can assist in this great work we have been called to do.
