Dear Reader,
You are a very important person to us and even more important before your creator God. This blog is intended to let you into God's work in Africa with special emphasis on Kenya. We will highly appreciate your making this journey of faith with us.
I am pastor Philip Warutere of the Bible Baptist Church Nyahururu, Kenya. I am married to Gladys Kanze the most beautiful woman on planet earth. We are blessed with two children, Vanessa Muringi 18 and Zechariah Githinji 12. God has recently given us the burden to plant Bible believing churches in Africa. The Lord has taught us to put our trust in Him, attempt great things for Him and expect great things from Him. We are sure that He shall supply all our church- planting needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. We are daring to do what for long has been thought to be a preserve of Western missionaries. We shall forever remain grateful to the foundational work done by Independent Fundamental Baptist missionaries from the West. But it has become necessary to sense and appreciate the current move of God in Africa today. There has emerged a group of national pastors with clear instructions to build on the excellent work done by foreign missionaries and take the church to the next level. Missionaries have laid a biblical foundation and the people who are from this culture must keep the fire of the Holy Spirit burning and get to places that missionaries could and cannot reach.This is not to say that the missionaries on the ground should pack on go. On the contrary, we still need them in some parts of Africa. We must integrate the national pastors ministry with experienced pastors, evangelists, conference speakers and Bible institute lecturers from the Western world. Independent Fundamental Baptist National Conferences focused on the development of the national pastors are needed today.This should be annual and geared towards bringing us out of the cocoons we have been previously condemned into. Amongst many things this blog is intended to do is to link up with Independent Fundamental Baptist churches with a passion to see souls saved in Africa and facilitate them obey God's command to them.
If you are interested in what God is doing in Africa then this is your blog. Please feel free to make comments and positive criticism that will keep us in the straight and the narrow. May the Lord find us faithful.We covet your prayers. We love you.
