THE HISTORY OF THE GOSPEL IN KENYA
The correspondence began when a man(The late elder Edward Macharia) searching for deeper truth came across a religious pamphlet ("The Israel Watchman Volume 6) and became eager to understand the Word of God more fully. Through continuous study, prayer, and communication with believers in Jerusalem, the light of the original gospel slowly began reaching Kenya in the late 1960s. This hunger for truth opened the door for Elder A.M. Shoemaker to arrive in Kenya in August 1970, bringing teachings rooted in the ancient faith and the commandments of God. During his mission, many believers were baptized, and sixteen faithful ministers were ordained to guide and strengthen the growing assembly. These men carried the message across different regions with dedication and courage, laying a strong spiritual foundation that has endured through generations. From that small beginning of a single pamphlet and sincere research into the Scriptures, the faith continued to grow, and by the grace of the Most High, it has been preserved and kept alive in Kenya until this very day.
