The bewilderment is palpable. You can see it on people’s face. They stare at the Ministry Video, or Ministry Display, in consternation. Then the question comes, “How can they be so poor and yet dress in such nice clothes?” And therein lay the conundrum ofCircumstances versus Convictions. Circumstances are easy to explain. There are so […]

We are in the midst of our 21st year of Ministry. Four campuses (2 Kenya, 2 Tanzania), in excess of 330 Pastors and Ministry Leaders attending continually. The sheer numbers are astounding because the “only” thing we offer is systematic, expository teaching and training in the Word of God. No props, no financial support, no […]

I was standing on the edge of the largest slum in Africa. I had only been in there a few times. Always escorted by a protective group of slum Pastors. Now it was for me to find the way myself. I had arrived after a few months in the States, sharing the initial vision for […]

One of the greatest Joys of being on the mission field is directly “seeing” and “hearing” the effect of God’s Word on the hearts and minds of the people. In the past three Semesters, we have studied, verse by verse, the books of Deuteronomy, 1st Chronicles, Ezekiel, Job, Song of Solomon, Joel, Amos, Gospel of […]

Pastor Peter didn’t arrive at the DSM Bible Institute as a Pastor. He was merely an Usher serving in a local slum church. He bounced from one church to another trying to “find” something. He wasn’t quite sure what “it” was, but he was sure something was missing. Everyone seemed to be so sure of […]

The “Day of Salvation” is like no other. As much as people argue about the finer details of “How” one “receives Salvation”, one thing is clear: people are redeemed, transformed, adopted and chosen by God Himself. And once that has occurred, there is a tremendous sense that all things are in order. And from an […]

The “Great Commission” is a mandate for all Christians. Not a select few. We will all be held personally accountable for our stewardship of the Salvation, Gospel and Grace that God has bestowed upon us. We are not allotted the luxury of Subcontracting the Command to “make Disciples of all nations.” Yet that is what […]

We are apt to believe the hype. Churches are being planted at unprecedented rates. Nations culturally “closed” to the gospel are now bursting with new believers. Revival is breaking out amongst the younger generations. Rock stars and “Influencers” are turning to Christ. Technology, the internet and digital age have magically multiplied our evangelistic efforts and […]

We are now well into our 21st year of the Ministry. You might imagine that the Ministry runs like a well-oiled ministering machine, with well-set parameters and plans to implement our specific Calling. And for a large part, it does. Or at least it did. Until Covid. Now more than ever, it’s “let’s-see-what-obstacles-we-wake-up-to-this-morning” mode. Ever […]

“A young man in an old man’s body.” That’s how the Bible School students describe Pastor Reuwel Gathinji. If ever the “spirit of Caleb” was in man, then Pastor Reuwel has it. Caleb conquered the Giants in the Promised Land with vigor and valor well past the age of 85 (see Josh 14 & 15). […]
