Pastor Stanley
is the fifth Son of Francis Mukhwana and Mary Nasimiyu. Both parents
are living.
They had 14 children, 9 of which are still living. He married Celestine in
2005,
and they have
one son, Ezra Abishai, born in 2006. No one from his family acquired a
decent
education. His parents did not know God, and all of their children were brought
up
in abject
poverty. His father was given to excessive drunkenness, a habit he has
been
infamous for
until now.
Pastor Stanley
sat for his Kenya Certificate for Primary Education exam in 2002 and
passed but
could not proceed due to financial constraints.
The Lord called him to preach when he was 14 years old
shortly after giving his life to
Christ in 1995. Right away, he got involved with church work
at a local church where he
regularly attended. God spoke to him many times about what
seemed clear that the Lord
was calling him into ministry. He did not resist the voice of
God but obeyed and followed
Him. In 1999, he got baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost.
He served as a Sunday
School teacher for Pastor Stanley, children and youths. In
2001, his pastor gave him the
responsibility of teaching in the church. In 2002, Pastor
Stanley got involved in his
church mission evangelistic team as an evangelist. They
visited various places in Kenya
where he would preach in meetings.
In 2005, he was made a pastor of a young church in a remote
area. God used him there to
make that church grow. He also was able to mobilize the
congregation to purchase land on
which that church is now built.
In the last five
years, he has conducted seminars and open air meetings . God has been
using him
especially in preaching the message “Setting the Captives Free.” In his
ministry
around Kenya, he
has witnessed instances where sick people have been healed by the power
of God . People
have come to Christ in such meetings. His work with other pastors has led
to several more
churches being planted.
Pastor Stanley
and his wife also run a school where most of the children are orphans and
vulnerable. The
school started with 19 children and now the number has grown to 104. His
Orphanage School
does not get any support from the Government or any organizations.
They receive
only a very little contribution from well wishers.
In November last year, God directed him to start a church at
one of the busiest
agribusiness centers in Kenya called Chwele. They started as
a house fellowship. The
number of attendees is growing by the day. God has given him
favor in that place. They will soon move into their new church building.
His church is affiliated with Neno Evangelism Church. Neno is a Kiswahili word
meaning "Word". Many of the local churches under this ministry are
autonomous but administratively accountable to regional leaders.
