Githurai Independent Baptist Church, located in the town of Githurai with a population of about 10,000, is led by Pastor Job K. Makau, supported by helper Fredrick Okwach. Pastor Makau’s family includes his wife, Beatrice Nduwye, their three children—Ibrahim Makau, Sarah Mumbua, and Alpha Muuo—and three dependants: Brian, Grace, and Patience.

The church is currently housed in a temporary structure on rented land.  Despite these limitations, the congregation has grown to 20 members over the past year, with members showing significant spiritual growth. The church is trusting God to add more members in the coming year.

To support growth, the church urgently needs Bibles, flyers, tracts, games, and Sunday school materials, as well as a Sunday school class, more chairs, and a permanent building. Securing a church plot is a long-term goal. 

Pastor Makau and his family face financial challenges to pay the monthly rent for their home. The pastor seeks additional support to start a new project for sustainable income.

The family expresses heartfelt gratitude for the support they have received and continues to pray for God’s blessings on their supporters. Prayer requests include the growth of the church, reaching more souls, and provision for both family and ministry needs.

Mwiki Independent Baptist Church, located in the densely populated town of Mwiki with approximately 150,000 residents, is led by Pastor Patrick Munyobi and supported by helper Albert Oluoch. Pastor Munyobi’s family includes his wife, Elizabeth A. Munyobi, and their four children—Kelvin, Peter, Chrispinus, and Ernest. 

The church operates on land owned by the Antioch Independent Baptist Churches of Kenya (AIBC) and uses temporary structures for worship and housing. Over the past year, the congregation has grown by 3%, adding 15 families and now comprising 47 adults, 16 youth, and 43 children. With robust evangelism and teaching efforts, the church projects significant growth of up to 70% in the coming year.

To support this growth, the church urgently needs teaching aids, revival handbills, and Bibles for new believers. Long-term needs include constructing a permanent church building, a parsonage, piped water, and four washing rooms.

Pastor Munyobi and his family express deep gratitude for the land provided for the church and the continued support from their partners. They request prayers for the construction of a permanent church building and parsonage, church growth, and provision for their family’s educational and daily needs.
