Pakuwa Pakhawa (Hope Realized)

We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end so that what you hope for may be fully realized (Heb 6:11).

In November 2019 I was ready to pack my bags and move to Nairobi. Then COVID19 ended all international travel. One Africa Team Missionaries canceled all their planned trips to Uganda, Liberia, and other parts of Africa – full stop. But the global pandemic didn’t stop God’s kingdom or the Gospel ministry of the LCMC Kenya from moving forward.

Holding up the Prophets’ Hands in Kenya

I serve as the One Africa Team liaison to the LCMC Kenya, one of WELS’ partners in Africa. COVID has kept me from visiting the churches in Kenya for the last 18 months. Nevertheless, God has been giving me many opportunities to assist and support our Gospel partners in East Africa.

Life is Full of Challenges

*Pastor Richard Ochichi prepares for an online class taught by One Africa Team Missionary Dan Witte*

“Life is full of challenges,” notes Pastor Ochichi Nyangau. “Each day comes with its own.”

Meet Richard Ochichi Nyangau, a pastor in Kenya who has served three parishes. He is one of my brothers in the Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LC-MC).

Pastor Ochichi and I got acquainted recently online. From October 2020 through January 2021 he was in a theological research and writing class which I taught. Pastor Ochichi participated studiously—five days a week for ten weeks—while also keeping up all his other duties. More on those below.
