Some History

The Founder - Healing Ministries Kenya.
His experience



My daddy who was an alcoholic although at the same time serving as
a sponsor to some particular denomination says all they needed his
money and what he could offer.

The seed was not in his heart. God miraculously designed his salvation and that was 1974. Before this event, he says we had lost two children in the same week. We were not yet born by then. (We were born twins). At that time through the circumstance of events he realized something was wrong. It was believed a spell had been cast on his two children a boy and a girl that died. By then, my mother was pregnant. She was carrying us in her womb. The same person that cast spells on the ones that died said that Mum would die with us also or if we were born, we will also die. At this time, she only had two children alive. The first born-a girl and the second born-a boy. They were no targets of immediate death but were afflicted with disease. Lost their hair on their heads, the skin affected. They were purposed by the enemy to die gradually.

Being a teacher by profession, jealousy aroused as a result because my dad was earning big money as wage and was considered rich in the village. Following this events and threats, my dad and mum tried to do everything to be safe but none of these things worked. I can not speak more about him for there is more to be told in his life. At that time my grandmother went to visit her daughter where she was married about 200 miles away. She was running away from a situation in the home of her own sons. She went to where her daughter, my aunt- was married. And there, was a man of God that had a great testimony. He once had died and was put in the mortuary. On the day they went to take him out for burial, they found him seated on the bed alive. The first thing he asked for was a Bible. He became strong with healing gifts, miracles, signs, wonders and prophecy in his meetings. My grandma and Aunt went to hear him preach. Before this man began preaching he stood up and pointed his finger to my grandma and begun to prophecy to her. He told exactly the situation at home and told her that "she was running away from her home because of the fear of the sword and all this was because the enemy was jealousy at the blessings of her home and he was out to destroy and kill her children"; "But great is the Lord your God who brought you here to seek after the salvation of your home for the enemy shall not prevail instead you will be a home of light to the world". When he was done with preaching my Aunt and grandma went to talk to him and asked him come home. He said to them that the Lord had showed him our home years ago when he was dead that he should settle there and have a healing ministry there.

His Salvation and The birth of the Healing Ministry

They came home and prayed with my dad to receive salvation and my mum too. He was delivered from alcoholism and Dad asked this preacher to stay and he gave him his bedroom. During that same time many people begun coming home for healing and deliverance for they knew the preacher stayed there. He laid his hand on mama's stomach and prophesied over us in the womb. He called us preachers in the womb and the things he said are coming to pass. He became close to dad and he had his room at home furnished with all he needed. Dad begun receiving visions and dreams and could interpret dreams, signs and tell of events. We were born in the very same season. The word was noised in the whole community at what God was doing at home and many came to the Lord.

In 1979, God showed dad a vision to start the healing ministry. He did not know how but had our home to be a healing center. God begun using him mightily as he ministered to the people that were coming home. We were just little boys who knew nothing but were a customed to seeing people come at home everyday. At the age of six, we joined kindergarten in 1980. Before that my parents tell me that whenever people came in the house for ministry we used to prophecy to them. I do not understand this because I don't remember anything. However, they say it was true since the age of three. When in school we could come home little kids and begin imitating dad and the preacher. That man of God loved us so much that whenever we came from school he would call us to play with him for some time and carry us. I didn't know what then he was doing but now I can understand. And so the healing ministry began to grow.

Our first Mission Outreach 93

Well we went through our education through high school in 1992. The following year we could not go to college because at that time I felt it strongly to do something for God. Yes we helped dad pray and minister to the people at home and people were coming always but I just wanted to go out to them instead of them coming always to me. I guess that was an evangelistic torch upon me. We stayed home with people who were healed instantly, delivered and we were discipling them. I did not know why.

One day when dad was gone to school to teach in 93, We slipped away taking with me this brethren to a far community for evangelism. I also wanted to exercise the gift in me. Nobody knew us in that village we visited but through the word of knowledge, we were led to some home. The wife was an elementary teacher but could not stay in the house because the husband when he got drunk could beat her or threaten to kill her. We went in and found him drunk. He challenged us. He said I am fed up with preachers coming to my house and don't leave me with peace behind but war with my wife; If you are true men of God tell me what happened yesterday in my house and I will believe all you've got for me. Wow! What a trap! Well I asked one lady on my team to sing the song that says there is power in the blood of Jesus. As the sang I turned to the wall and pleaded God to do something to prove to this men that we are not only true men of God bit that we serve a living God. Immediately He spoke to me and showed me the whole incidence. I turned around and laughed as I looked to this man. I stopped the singing. I begun explaining what I saw. Previously he had been awakened from the sleep early in the morning and wanted to go out to use a bathroom. At the out door he stumbled at a can full of alcohol and went back in the house terrified for he ordered none and had never had it hat style before. After telling it to his wife he set off for the outside bathroom. Now the can was not there but was at the bathroom door as he approached. He spilled it at a dog by licked and died. it was poisoned but the movement was mysterious. That is exactly how the Lord showed it to me. Little did I know this man was on his knees shedding tears.

The wife embraced him and we prayed together with him for salvation. He asked as to stay few more days. People heard a bout it in the community and flocked in his house all day long bringing those that needed deliverance and salvation. Several sick people came in but this were minor sickness like fever, stomach pains, nose bleeding etc. who were healed. The day after they came in the meeting carrying a girl that could not talk and was weak. She came forth at the hour of prayer but I did not pray for her. She left disappointed together with here people that night. After 2 days at around 3:30 PM when we had begun our noon service I looked through the window and saw her coming again with the same people at first. They walked in the meeting and sat down. I begun praying for the people together with my brother and then reluctantly laid my hands to her. For inside of me I said this kind of sickness requires my dad. I can only pray for minor sicknesses but not to that level of complicated diseases. Well as I laid my hands on her reluctantly lest they be offended a gain, surprisingly she begun talking and repeating what I said. I was surprised but at the same time energized.

Early morning we saw a child carried to the hospital passing by and her mother was wailing. The child was fainting she said. I called out to her! What is wrong with your child? Moreover, she stopped and said he is dying. I said bring the child here! She said I want him in hospital. But doctors are here! I exclaimed. In the moment of this exchange this child was dead. She had no other choice but bring her to us. I took the mother a side and went with the child in the house. We asked one of the ladies on our team to hold the child and asked everyone in the house to pray. Turning to the child together with my brother Simon, we spoke life and saw that child sneeze back. I summoned the mother to come in and gave her back the child alive. With this miracle, I send someone home to tell Dad and mum what was happening and where we were. The man that was delivered and saved where we stayed is now a pastor at this moment and on his property has one of our churches build. God restored him a good job that he had lost. He is now a high schoolteacher of biology and science.

We went back home. Dad was glad to hear the testimony but still was not willing for us to go out on our own. He said we still needed to grow up in faith. Well in 95 and 96 we begun going out more on our own and brought him back the reports. I asked for his blessings and went to the neighboring country of Uganda. In 1997, I had the privilege to come to USA and preach. I went back in 98' early to Kenya and started to establish churches under the foundation of my dad. By year 2000, we have had six churches with a strong team of leadership under the same anointing.

By 2002 we had started 14 churches. This number has come up quickly now to 28 churches by this year 2009 (2 more have yet to be confirmed but its all with our evangelistic teamwork. The number is rising to 30) of which we have laid the foundation. We also started 3 schools - Kinder garden. Now besides Uganda we also reach Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, west Africa - Ghana, Germany, US and are looking forward to Somalia, Congo, Sudan and the like. We do also a lot of humanitarian services like getting wells drilled and shelters.

Tiriki revival 2000


Revival broke out in Tiriki Kamunono Miracle Church and that is what I want to share with you about briefly;
We were asked to carry out a funeral service in one village that has strong voodoo, witchcraft and territorial spirits dominating. It has been a community feared by many because of their witchcraft acts. Majority of the villagers are not educated and young men and the elderly stay on drugs and local brew. Struggling whether or not we should go to this community, after praying , we decided to go as a team from the church. On the burial day as the message came out in simplicity revolving around the cross of Jesus, I saw many shed tears as this message broke their hearts. I could not continue preaching. Making an alter call; it was flooded with boys and girls, Men and Women, old and young raising up their hands to say Yes! to Jesus. Forgetting the normal procedures for a funeral service we decided to follow the directives of the Holy Spirit and call out for prayers to the sick and God had stupendous plans. The elderly people of this community came to talk to us and would not let us go back home but begged us to stay for a week! Amazed at what God was doing we stayed and saw great things happen. Conviction fell on those who practiced magic acts and they went in their homes bringing their different crafts to be burned.

A young man (ring leader) of drugs gave his life to Jesus in the funeral and many who knew him and walked with him followed up to surrender all to Jesus. The word waived a cross the whole village that the area Ass. Chief was impressed with this report. As I spoke to him with his elders I could see chains and bondage's broken and their faces were lit with a sincere hunger and thirst that is real for Christ. A month later in one baptism we had 48 candidates immersed in water. That was a month after the revival broke. This people come to this place daily very early and stay all day long till late night listening to the word preached and demonstrated. We put up a banana structure on this piece of property (belonging to the brother of the deceased) had our services in it. We have now been able to purchase this piece of property . At the moment we are in the process to build a church on it. We have the foundation laid in place to almost slab level. We build our first a school on this property for the community and dug our first well on the same. This is fresh and clean water for our kids.

Do you want to visit?<

Concerning visiting this work: One thing you have to realize and understand is we can NOT twist the hand of God our way.. No! All we need to do is give him our commitments and desire. Wherever the Lord directs He provides." If you earnestly commit & desire to visit this work God will provide for He is Jehovah JIREH. He creates a way in the wilderness and a path in the sea. Out of the dry ground, he brings forth life and water and He gives us our daily bread.
He is a light unto your path and a lamp unto thy feet. He will order and direct your footsteps to the right source of provision and $1300 for a ticket will be nothing to him for He will care and meet all your needs." Amen!

Walk into the fullness of His promises.

God bless you,
Samuel.

26/02/09 We need your prayers in the following directions. The HEMS ministries has 28 local churches spread across Kenya. We have affiliate church networks in Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Ghana and Nigeria. We look forward to having strong networks in Somalia, Northern Uganda, Sudan, Congo and Cameroon. These are war devastated regions. We need to get complete constructions of 3 of the churches in Western and Central Kenya. The Marama church needs a plot that we are to purchase and get the facility constructed for worshipers ($2000). We also are looking forward to construct a Mission operation center that will accommodate our pastoral/ School of Ministry, Conference hall and missionaries accommodation center. I look forward to pastors and other general district overseers getting an easy means of transportation.Scooters or Motor cycles which is the most being used means would be preferable. They also serve as working bikes to earn their families a living. We have 3 Kinder schools projects. They need our huge support financially, with food, medication, clothing and other basic necessities. Their teachers too need our appreciation for their services. We need construction shelters too and good infrastructure for them. One of the orphaned Kids projects in Emasatsi-Kisa west has kids (32) who are home schooled staying with families that need our hand. The other two are schools with 36 and 40 respectively. The numbers went down from 70 and 60 because we could not meet all their needs. We have 7 wells of water dug so far around the churches in the communities but we need more for the health of our communities. Pray for my Foreign Missions (Rev. Simon Okwayo - HEMS Director) that as God bless the nations, their will be those who will partner with us and be a blessing to this great Apostolic work God has given me. I would like to see nations touched and missions being the heartbeat of every believer.
