I was born in Murang’a, Central Province, Kenya.
Marital Status
I am married to my beautiful wife, Agnes W. Njuguna. We are blessed with five grown-up children—two sons and three daughters—and several grandchildren.
Early Education
I started primary (elementary) school when I was beyond the admission age of seven years.
Due to the scarcity of finances, I did not finish high school, but that did not stop me from pursuing education. Finally, I was able to finish high school through private studies and then joined Bible College of East Africa.
My Conversion
It was February 5, 1965, in the evening time while reading my Bible in Matthew 6:33. That spoke to me as a person: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto thee.”
That night, I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart as the Savior and my Lord. I count that day as a spiritual birthday.
A Call into the Ministry
After accepting Jesus, there and then, a voice in my heart said, “I have saved you. Now arise and go and be my witness.” I started witnessing to my fellow students, who saw me as a crazy guy; nobody paid any attention to me. But in the long run, I was a winner; many colleagues accepted Jesus.
Within a period of four year in extensive studies, I was able to connect with an American missionary who invited me to join him in mission work (evangelism). Even after my graduation, we went all over Kenya preaching, myself being an interpreter. We established over forty local congregations under the name Independent Baptist Churches of East Africa. I served in many positions—secretary, treasurer, teacher, and chairman (moderator).
Trip to United States of America
My first trip to the US. This was in 1973 at Collingswood, New Jersey, attending ICCC (International Christian Council of Churches) conference and seminar. I went back to Kenya. I served as a pastor/lecturer at Baptist Bible College, Nairobi, Kenya. This I did until I resigned from teaching in 1978 to be a full-time pastor.
My second trip to the USA. This was in 1989 when I came for graduation at Anderson City, South Carolina. After graduation, I went back and continued with the job of pastoring and teaching.
Living in the United States. In 1999, my wife and I came as missionaries, and since then, we have been here ministering, and we have been able to establish local churches under the name Living Hope International Christian Church Inc. This is affiliated with Redwood Empire Baptist Association and Baptist Convention.
Secular work. In 1983, I established in Kenya a business under the name Kiamuri Poultry and Eggs Suppliers, and my wife was the manager.
In the United States. I worked as lead custodian at San Rafael District City schools for thirteen and a half years and retired in 2014. It was while working that I was able to travel and call other Kenyans to join me, and out of several meetings, we were able to establish Kenyan churches in Seattle, Washington, and Bay Area, North California.
The role of teaching. I joined Golden Gate Theological Seminary as a CLD (contextualized development leadership) instructor from 2010 to present. While teaching, I enrolled for MDiv. I graduated, and I’m doing PhD, major in Christian education.view less
