CHICAGO—Religious groups in Kenya line up by the thousands
to seek
legal recognition as churches. But as the number of
corrupt African
preachers increases, Christian leaders are warning
the public of those
using the Gospel for personal financial gains.
"Groups masquerading as churches thrive in Kenya," said
Dr. Mwaya
Kitavi, Bible League's associate director of Africa
ministry, "and the
need for Bible-based churches is as great as ever.
Many Kenyans are
unable to distinguish genuine religious organizations
from 'big
business' under the guise of evangelism."
For some, establishing a church in Kenya means cashing
in on freely
flowing money, and many take advantage of the unsuspecting
public.
But in the midst of this deceptive arena, Bible League
remains a
constant source of spreading God's Word throughout
Kenya.
"Bible League's ministry in Kenya began more
than 20 years ago, and
continues to flourish," added Kitavi. "By
coming alongside Kenyan
churches, and equipping their leaders with Scriptures
and training,
we see first-hand the love of Jesus shining through.
This is what
Kenya really needs—churches founded on biblical truths
and the Gospel
of Jesus Christ."
Jackson Muia, a Christian in the Makueni South region
of Kenya,
envisioned launching a church. Following his Bible
League training and
Bible provision, churches mushroomed in every village
of this region.
The power of the Gospel transformed the community. "People
have joined
the church in big numbers and left behind their pagan
ways of life,"
said Muia. Muia is one of many Kenyans with a passion
for the lost and
a heart for their people.
More than 85,000 Kenyans—last year alone—completed
Bible studies through
Bible League ministry. Christians grounded in God's
Word are determined
to unravel Kenya's hovering blanket of deception. |
