FISHERS OF MEN CHURCHES IN KENYA

Talk of a church and quickly one will visualize a big building with across on it and many chairs where people meet to worship God. The Greek word for church is “ecclesia” meaning people called out from their divers’ cultural, ethnical and religious backgrounds. This people are called out ultimately with a common purpose of following Jesus Christ leaving a dignified and clean life that please God and man kind and finally awaiting their hope of inheriting the kingdom of God prepared for those who have surrendered their lives to Jesus and are committed to faithfully following him. At Fishers of Men we view a church as a family of people with common destiny, values, commitments and practices. Fishers of men Ministries has four stable churches in the western region of Kenya. Churches are led by carefully chosen Pastors that have passed the test of time by demonstrating a godly lifestyle worthy the gospel of Jesus Christ. These churches are; Mail isaba, Mokoiywet, Kimondo and Sitatunga.

Maili Saba Fishers of Men church is the central church serving as the region headquaters.The church led by Pastor Kennedy Magwiru a dynamic hardworking visionary Pastor. The church was born in March 2000.This church begun with the pastor, his wife and six other people; this was in a small rental room. After one year the church members had increased in that the small rental room was no longer enough to accommodate all the people. It was during this time in 2001 that through the help of Rev Joshua Ngao, the founder of the Fishers of men ministries and friends from the USA donated funds and enabled then to buy a plot and build a semi permanent church. The church plot measures 50x100 feet’s. In the year 2003 the church initiated the project of constructing permanent church building, church members contributed generously towards this noble course , it was the that Rev Joshua shared about this issue to the Savanna Methodist church by then led by Pastor Mike Jones. It was at this point that the Savanna Methodist Church donated funds for roofing the Maili Saba permanent church building. This church has become a haven of hope for many who receive spiritual nourishment and guidance and healing of wounded souls and spirit by the troubles and the cares of this world.
Mailisaba church recently hosted a great conference for two days with Rev. Joshua Ngao ministering. It was such a bussed conference that saw many people renewing their relationship with Jesus Christ and experienced a great awakening.

NEEDS AT MAILI SABA

1. Amongst the church needs is finishing and vanishing the church
2. The church having a plot of only 50x100 feet makes it difficult for expansion. There is therefore a pressing need for funds for expansion of the church plot.
3. There is also a need of constructing a modern office to serve the church and the region in the administrative needs.
