Allan Waruhiu

Pastor And NGO Director

Summary

In 2004, during a Christian revival in my third year of high school, I embraced the gift of salvation. Ten years later, in 2014, I felt a profound calling from the Lord to pursue seminary and receive formal training for ministry. Throughout this journey, God has consistently impressed upon my heart the urgency of sharing the gospel and making disciples. I am also deeply motivated by a heartfelt desire to address poverty and alleviate suffering through compassionate acts, all rooted in the transformative power of the gospel.
