What a testimony!
Dear beloved servant of God Rev. David, P Griffiths,
Lots of love from your brother Pastor James okenda from Kenya
I feel humbled indeed as I am glad for your friendly cantact and soft reply in my request to you.
I find I privilege and honor that you have kindly included me in your email list and we except the statement of faith.
Thank you for that wonderful prayer brothers and sisters. I am heartily moved and I humbly request that we be in fellowship so that we may serve the Lord together. Please we need someone to come over and help us (Acts 16:9-10) John 4:35-36, so that we may be obedient to the Lord Matt 28:19-20.
Brothers and Sisters an angel guided Phillip to the one who was seeking for light and who was ready to receive the gospel and today angels will guide the footsteps of those workers who will allow the holy spirit to sanctify their tongues and refine and enable their hearts.
The angel sent to Philip could himself have done the work for the Ethiopian but this is not God’s way for working . it is His plan that men are to work for their fellow men (Romans 10:13-15) thank you for that wonderful gift to me of prayer and the church.
Before being saved, this is my brief history and testimony. My names are Bro. James Okenda, and my wife Grace Nyaboke Okenda.
 Find my testimony and our ministry's profile as you requested. I have been saved 3 1/2 years ago from the satanic sect where I have been for the last 4 years. I have been subjected to, eating human flesh, taking blood – using witchcraft, soccery, enchantment. I have been used to worshipping while naked and walking backwards towards the satanic temple at night. In this satanic lodges I passed through many stages of initiation that I cannot finish to explain. Now we ate human fresh, breast, and taking blood as wine. I normally feel shading tears as I remember serving the Devil in the Dark days of my life. As we progressed through the orders we were given secret names of the God called JAH- BUL- ON. JAH means Jehovah BUL means Baal and ON means an Egyptian God ON. They teach that good God is Lucifer and Bad God is Adonai. We had to keep secrets of our fellow masons.
Finances were not a problem money came from nowhere, in any small business we ventured money doubled.
Now after passing through all these a thought came into me one day and it spoke, "I do not know you" imagine the shock I received as I asked God, what do you mean? You don’t know me? I thought God is counsel, I realized that I had never really come to Jesus as a sinner. A brother in one of the Baptist church by name Joseph had a crusade and was teaching about the second coming of Jesus Christ, so I felt that I had better get saved so that I would not be left behind. In effect getting saved was fire assurance!!!! My life changed, now I suffered great depression and oppression of the mind.
Now life changed even something to eat was a problem even my wife wanted to run away from me Brothers and sisters I remained desperate.
Due to these circumstances I remained praying God and the Lord guided me to start a house of prayer and we were six in number including my children. When the Lord gave the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6-7) we decided to start meeting for fellowship. We are independently worshipping under trees praying that the Lord may lead us to a Bible teaching church and to the brethren who fear the Lord. Your web page has really changed the lives of the brethren with whom I am studying them. We have therefore agreed that we fellowship with you. Your teachings are wonderful and we hunger for more. Since the world appears churchly and the church appears worldly you are indeed the right people to share with.
Right now we have 25 believers adults,15 youths and 10 children and there are more inquiries. We pray that the Lord will persuade you to be obedient and help us. Brothers and sisters let us lift our Lord high so that we may draw all men unto Him, John 12:32. He had promised that he will guide us in His harvest field and no man will do us any harm. Acts 18:9-10.
Lastly Brothers and sisters may the spirit of service take possession of us as His church. When the members of his church do their appointed work in the needy fields both at home and abroad in fulfilling the great commission the whole world will soon be warned and the Lord Jesus will return to this earth with power and great glory to take his bride. This gospel of the kingdom shall be reached all the world for a witness unto all nations then the end shall come Matt 24:14.
 May the Lord say well done to you Brothers and sisters.
Our humble cry and request to you by the kindness mercies of our Lord is that you effectually and fervently stand with us in prayer for the grace of God to a bound so that we may have a roof over us and also graciously remember the orphans and widows who are among us who need our spiritual help at the same time physical help as the Lord has commissioned us in His word. (Pictured left are some of the orphans cared for by Pastor James and Grace)
May you find favour with God as you desire and seek from His mouth on how to better share His grace,riches,love and the treasures with others who need the light and come to the saving grace of Jesus christ.
May the Lord deal with you bountifully dear brethren.
Serving the Lord together,
Pastor James Okenda.
