From 100 Children to 100 Churches
blog 4
When God first spoke to me about multiplication, I misunderstood. I thought He was calling me to have 100 children in 10 years. But as time passed, I realized He meant something much greater: to plant 100 churches. And by His grace, that vision has not only been fulfilled—it continues to grow rapidly.
Church planting begins simply—by identifying a family, building a friendship, and introducing them to Jesus. Through that one family, others are reached. We begin fellowships under trees. News spreads. Villages gather. Within a few months, I remain present to disciple the group and help identify local leaders—many of whom go on to join our School of Missions. What begins as one voice grows into a community of worshipers.

One of the most unforgettable church planting journeys took me on a four-day, 364-kilometer walk—the longest distance I’ve ever covered on foot. God had told me to “go and multiply,” and I had no idea how literally He meant it.
At one point, exhausted, I fainted under a tree. A young shepherd found me and gave me camel blood to drink—a traditional Turkana remedy—and I was revived. By evening, I reached a thorn-fenced hut near a dry riverbed and decided to rest. At 2:00 a.m., I was awakened by a woman’s cry for help. She had been abandoned by her community, left to give birth alone because they believed she was cursed.

I had never helped in childbirth before, but I remembered a few pages from a book I once read—Where There Is No Doctor. With only a razor blade and two shukas (cloth wraps), I helped her deliver triplets—two girls and a boy. I split one of the shukas to wrap each child, built a temporary shelter, and used a mobile phone gifted to me by a missionary friend to call for help. Within two hours, the Flying Doctors landed by plane to assist her.
That woman not only survived—she became the pastor of the very church planted in that village. Her story is just one of many. Today, we are seeing faithful men and women raised up in some of the harshest regions, leading churches that started with a simple act of obedience.
Across Turkana and beyond, there are still villages untouched by the Gospel—places where churches gather under trees and pastors serve with no promise of pay, only the conviction of their calling. Yet the flame of the mission still burns bright.

We invite you to be part of this ongoing story—through your prayers, your generosity, or by helping us equip others to go. Every act of support strengthens the hands of those on the front lines and brings the message of Christ to those the world has overlooked, but Heaven never forgets.
“Go, speak, and heal the nations.” The call continues. Will you answer?
