About Me: (Ministry Info, Hobbies, Fav. Music etc.): The birth of Evangelical Methodist Mission in Kenya is traced to the vision and work of Bishop Tom Omukhobero. Upon his completion of theological studies at the Bible College of East Africa; he embarked on a countrywide mission of reaching the unreached especially in rural areas with the message of redemption through Christ.

Having previously worked in the remote parts of the country, he had acquired sufficient knowledge of the people, their culture, their physical and spiritual needs and was thus prepared to confront their challenges through prayers and preaching.

Evangelical Methodist Mission is the vehicle through which this vision was to be realized. Right from its inception, the focus of this Mission was rural and slum dwellers; a harvest which had been and is still neglected by most local and international preachers.

A majority of the rural and slum dwellers are illiterate, poverty stricken and deep rooted in their traditional beliefs and practices. Most roads are impassable, living conditions pathetic and communication extremely difficult.

Despite this chain of roadblocks, Tom put on a bold face and engaged the communities through door-to-door visitation, church planting and communal prayers. All along he was inspired by Christ’s Great Commission to go into the world and make disciples of all nations (Mat 28: 19).

He identified able men whom he trained through a program he called, “Kenya Timothy Project” to take up pastoral responsibilities in these local churches. He operates a children’s orphanage, which offers schooling, and feeding services to impoverish neglected and abandoned children in Mathare slums of Nairobi.

Born 50 years ago, Tom is married to Nancy and they are blessed with three children; James, Boaz and Priscilla.

PASTORAL WORK

The Evangelical Methodist Mission’s principal assignment is knowing Christ and making Christ known to others. It is quite challenging to seek to attain this noble goal with the prevailing circumstances in the slums and rural areas.

All the same we base our hope and trust on the Lord “for we walk by faith, not by sight” (II Cor 5:7). Initially, advancing the cause of the Gospel in these areas seemed impossible. But God opened opportunities that saw multitudes coming to Christ in faith and repentance.

We began with Mathare slums, Korogocho slums,Mukuru and later penetrated the sprawling slums of Kibera,the second largest slum in Africa. We have planted churches among the nomadic people of the Maasai and many are coming to the knowledge of Christ as Lord and Savior. We extended our rural ministry to the Eastern and Western parts of the country and into the neighboring Uganda.

We now have thirty local churches within Kenya and Uganda with an ever increasing demand for trained laborers

CHILDRENS MINISTRY

With the devastating effects of the HIV /Aids scourge, the number of needy children is always on the rise. Illiteracy, miserable economic backgrounds and backward cultures inhibit the growth of these children into productive adults.

In this regard, we operate an orphanage of 100 children to whom we provide parental care, social security, emotional support, schooling, housing and feeding services.

Though economically and socially deprived, we prayerfully seek to support those children to give them hope and a future through Christian up bringing and support. This is one of the most challenging areas of our ministry due to the high demand for such services.
