Welcome to Peschell Ministry
Travel with me to Africa. It is alive with people just like you and me who want to create a better world for us all.
April 2024 Update
The Starting Point
Young Evans Kisala, was living on the streets of Kisumu, a city in western Kenya, Africa. His mother who was raising the kids could no longer feed them all. Evans decided to live on the streets, sell drugs, and send a little money home to Mom. Soon it became his lifestyle. One day an American nurse on a bike stopped and asked Evans if he wanted to live in a group home with other kids. He prospered and started singing in the church worship band.
Becoming a Minister of the Gospel
Evans continued to grow in the Lord. He was confident, having reached success in highly skilled athletics on the field playing soccer. He read, studied and eventually was ordained into the ministy. Rather than joining an established denomination Evans decided to follow his heart and embrace God's Grace as a guiding light as he began to reach out to the community. His message of Love was not received easily in Kisumu.
Door to Door in Poverty Regions of Kisumu
To build a congregation of people for the Church that Evans wanted to start required him to go door to door, not with a message of hell by an angry God but a Kingdom Life of Grace by a Loving God. Evans married Nancy and together they began to build the group soon to become the new church. They also have 2 children. They named their new church Grace Reaching Ministries.
Church Under a Tree
The church began with a handful of bibles and an open field under a tree. Evans had a knack to publish photos and scriptures of his services on social media and WhatsApp. It was at this point I discovered him. I told a few people about him. They helped with donations that allowed Evans to approach a local school where his child attended, asking to rent space so the church could be out of the rain, wind, noise and heat . Starting in 2024 the church has a place indoors, blessed by God.
Church in a School
The new church, now meeting in a school room, have been great stewards of the small seed money we send them. They clean before and after they meet. The school has met with Evans and have asked him to teach in the school. God blessed them with an indoor room and has planted a voice to help lead children in their walk with God. The few people that donated have seen their seed money blossom in Love.
Next Steps
When God sends a few more people to help with small recurring donations, we will be able to provide the church with worship instruments. The congregation is a group of people of very little means. The things we take for granted in our western churches are beyond their reach. Peschell Ministry has uncovered many needs like this in Africa. Join me in the Ministry to help people in Africa. I am not talking about starving childen. It is for people just like you and me.
