A Soul Winning Pastor in Kenya

Austin Gardner • September 12, 2022

He postponed his trip so another could be saved and on his way to heaven

Thomas Alute is a pastor in Kenya. He worked with Randy Stirewalt for many years. I invite you to read the letter he just sent me.


"Today I took one young man from our church a college student in computer studies, I went with him to the city of Eldoret  to some  places for his industrial attachment. Because of a problem with my car we used public means to Eldoret.


Then in the town the swiftest means of movement is a motorcycle .So took him to an urban hospital where a doctor Christian brother works, after 30 minutes of discussion, we left the boy for his room, then the doctor requested  motorcycle ride to take me to the bus terminal.


When the man heard the doctor tell "take the pastor to his destination, the man Antony wafula decided to request my prayers that life to him was miserable, in family and sin, so I endured, at my reaching the place I took him aside told him he has to know Christ as savior for prayer to be effective the 36 old man graciously accepted the Lord, before we parted with some instructions, I gonna connect him with pastor Njoroge peter for better spiritual care, please pray for him."


Now isn't that an exciting update straight from Kenya. If you might be interested in giving towards the repair of vehicle. He is a trustworthy man. I know him personally but more than that it was Randy Stirewalt that introduced me.


If you want to give an offering let me know and just send it to Alignment Ministries marked for Thomas Alute.
