For about 20 years he dedicated his ministry to helping to raise up a well trained and knowledgeable priesthood in Kenya. He had a vision of a church in Kenya and the neighboring countries dedicated to the traditional restoration beliefs and practices. Even when his body was failing him the church in Kenya remained a top priority for him.

The saints in Kenya loved him dearly. He was part of their church family. In many instances he endeavored to involve himself in their personal and family lives in many ways. He was a father figure to us.
Our prayers are with his wife sister Sherrie whom he spoke to us of over and over, and the whole family.
We release him to his well earned eternal rewards

When I first met him so many years ago, I felt like he had always been part of my life. His love for the gospel and for the Lord were prominent in his life, as well as a love for his family. He was a pillar of strength in the church and his ministry will be greatly missed.
