BMI Kenya Household (D)

Meet David O.

I met David on my first visit to Kenya in 2011, but I didn’t truly get to know him until I returned in 2012. His love for GOD and soft spoken personality will leave you refreshed whenever you fellowship with him. Our relationship grew and David has become my first Kenyan Son.

It was David who prevented me getting hit by a car during my short 2014 visit to Kenya. I believe I would have survived the hit, but the hospitalization would have extended my visit many weeks.

Shortly after my move to Kenya in 2015, David joined me and has been with me. He has been a highly valued resource as I learn about the Kenyan culture.

During my 23 months here, the donors from BMI have been a great blessing to David. As he transitions into adulthood, he has been able to extend his schooling in the secular and religious arenas.  The foundation of having a stable home has been a key to his progress.

Here are some of his accomplishments since March 2015.

1. Changed his residency from Nairobi to Nakuru.
2. Became the Church Youth Leader. Many of the Teens he has worked with are now Shakerz, or members of the Church Dance Team, or part of the Helps Ministry.

3. He has completed job training as a Security Guard.

4. He has completed a Course in Entrepreneurship. This has led to income generating ventures such as the Motorcycle taxi business. One near death experience and a 4 day hospitalization, two separate events, led to the closure of this chapter. Presently, he is rearing livestock at his rural home, continuing his local neighborhood store in Nakuru, and working as a Watchman at a bank in Nairobi. The goal here is to have multiple incomes to reach financial stability.

5. He has completed Level 1 of the Sowers’ Ministry Evangelism Course.

Your financial support allows me to continue to empower David. He wants to be successful in life so that he can continue building into the eternal future of others.
