Two weeks ago, I was preaching in Kigali, Rwanda 🇷🇼. I preached in the country’s biggest English speaking congregation. It’s called Christian Life Assembly (CLA) church. The church is located in the city and attracts many wealthy individuals and expatriates. The church also attracts many politicians. I had done preachings on Friday and Saturday because of the Father’s Day weekend…More

The world’s life expectancy is currently 72 years. The life expectancy in my country, Kenya, is 62 years.

They were a group that were…More

Is your Church’s “theme for the year” really from God? As the New Year starts, churches in my country roll out themes for the year. Most of these themes are rolled out in vigils as churches cross into the New Year together. The themes are often things that God is saying to the local church to guide them for the…More

On the week he was crucified, Jesus Christ gave a parable to his disciples. Matthew 21:28-31 “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go work today in the vineyard.’ And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he regretted it and went. The man came to the second…More

Israel 3 BC Gabriel dropped into the earth’s atmosphere at neck-breaking speed. The small blue and white bead in his view was growing larger by the second. The closer Gabriel approached, did more distinct colours of the planet Earth emerge- fields of blue ocean, patches of brown and green and scattered white. Today’s cloud cover was heavy.
