Invites all Kenyans & Friends to Gather in a Call For Prayers for our Community & Nations
To God be the Glory. On Sunday June 21, 2015, the Kenyans and the friends of Kenyans gathered together at PCEA Neema Church in Lowell, under the Leadership of Rev Dr Karimi to celebrate the life of one of Kenyan Sons. The Church overflowed with sympathizers and comforters and people had to stand out of the sanctuary.
The clergy team was composed of Pastors from many places and countries and numbered more than 25. Bishop Wambua preached the word and said that all people who have a birth date do also have an appointed time to die, irrespective of their status. People need to prepare for the hour of departure, according to the will of our God.
