In the remote villages of Kenya, access to sound biblical teaching and basic necessities are often out of reach.
But your giving changed all that for Rev. Paul and Vivian O'Chieng.
For the past 11 years, EmPowered Living has partnered with local leaders Rev. Paul and Vivian O'Chieng to bring hope and transformation to these underserved communities.
Rev. Paul and Vivian, who have been married for 23 years and have four children, serve as the Senior Pastors of Word Christian Centre. They also oversee two branch churches in rural Kenya, as well as Word Academy and Ebenezer Children's Home.
Rev. Paul and Vivian are a great investment of your dollars in Kingdom living.
In 2012, a divine encounter brought Paul together with me, (Daniel). It marked a turning point in his ministry. Through ELIM Theological Institute, the pastors and leaders under Rev. Paul and Vivian's care receive life-changing biblical training.
Rev. Paul shares, "ELIM Theological Institute has been a divine intervention brought to us by God through Dr. Daniel Gilbert. By access to the teachings, prayers, guidance, discipleship, and mentorship, a great transformation has taken place in our lives and churches as well."
Your giving provides practical assistance to Ebenezer Children's Home, which cares for vulnerable children, including orphans and those rescued from domestic violence. Your generosity has supplied food, water tanks, a furnished kitchen, and a modern girls' bathroom.
The EmPowered Living giving community has also been a lifeline for Word Academy, a school serving 465 underprivileged students. Your giving provides monthly food supplies for both the school and children's homes.
Rev. Paul and Vivian's story beautifully illustrates the holistic impact of your giving through EmPowered Living's partnership with local leaders. When pastors are equipped with sound theology and vital community programs are resourced, transformation happens from the inside out.
As Rev. Paul reflects, "On behalf of myself, my community, and family, we say thank you to all partners of EmPowered Living International."
This gratitude speaks to the tangible difference the EmPowered Living giving community is making in some of Kenya's most underserved areas.
Empowered leaders create empowered communities.
Grateful for you,
Dr. Daniel & Mary Beth
