Kenyan Pastor Thomas Machogu Asks for Prayer

Posted on Mon, Nov 21, 2011

A PRAYER PARTNERSHIP

Pastor Thomas Machogu leads a Bible Study in west Kenya, near Lake Victoria (Nyanza province). We have agreed to share our prayer requests via email and have already had several exchanges.

Here are Pastor Thomas' prayer requests:

  • Robert is praying that his wife would receive Christ
  • Robert is also praying for his ailing father, who suffers from diabetes.
  • Mary is praying for her husband, who was recently injured in a road accident. She's also praying for the provision to pay the hospital bill.
  • There is a severe famine and drought in the area. They are all imploring God for rain. Food is short and people are starving. They need money for food.

Pastor Thomas tells me that after spending all his life in his parents' church, where the necessity of salvation through Jesus Christ was never mentioned, a friend of his from Mombasa visited Thomas and witnessed to him. Thomas was saved, and spent time studying the faith and witnessing to people in the surrounding villages.

In 2007 Pastor Thomas started a Bible Study in his home, beginning with 13 adults and their families. The group grew, and recently they moved outside to conduct their Wednesday and Sunday worship and Bible study under some shade trees. The group now consists of 18 adults and 17 children. Of that number seven of the chuildren are orphans between the ages of five and 12. Another prayer request is for some sort of shade or shelter to protect the group while they're meeting outside.

Pastor Thomas is married to Ann Nyangarisa, and they have two children: Milcent, aged five; and Bivon, aged three.
