We have some very exciting news regarding our Kenya Directors, Pastor Domnic & Sis. Millie... On December 28th, Domnic and Millicent were married in Migori, Kenya! This has been well over a year in the making to put together a wedding program as well as raise the funds to pay dowry and other costs; I am sure they are happy to have arrived at their long awaited special day. This couple has been a very special part of my and Carl's life for over a year through email correspondence after I met them on my August 2007 mission trip to Karatina, Kenya. To make them even more special, they are also our Kenya Directors who will be heading up the ground work to this ministry there while we work hard in the US to raise the funds and create more resources, volunteers, and opportunities for the orphan community we envision building in the coming years. Currently they are working to get reliable legal information for operating this nonprofit in Kenya and US simultaneously which includes securing Kenyan attorneys and relaying information for our monthly Board Meetings here in the states as well as working to build a Kenyan GFM Team.
Brother Domnic wrote recently to me and included a bio-like excerpt. I thought it would be appropriate to share this with the GFM Family so that you can get to know our Kenyan Director, especially how blessed we are to have him and his wife serving with us. His english is African/British style but I believe he writes/speaks most beautifully, almost in poetic form at times, and find my own style of writing a bit simple in comparison. Just one of the little differences in culture and geography that I enjoy so much!
Enjoy!

ABOUT DOMNIC OWIGO
I (Domnic) got saved at the age of 21 years old in the year 1997. This is the year that the Lord made for my life transformation after living a lost life in the world for some year. After this great transformation of life from one destiny to the other, the Lord Himself planted in me a seed of preaching the gospel. For the rest of the years that I’ve lived for the Lord, I’ve been involved in the ministry of serving the Lord amongst His people for His glory according to the grace given to me in services.
The grace of doing Lord’s work stated on my life as a great burden with a need towards Lord’s people. I was burdened with the needs of people and these need sparked my passion. When I made it to action in response towards this need by doing Lord’s service, the action moved others to cooperate and through this, a team was formed to focus on a common goal upholding unity for work force unto the Lord. Though this work was moving effectively, but it met a shake down when the leader (Domnic) and the secretary left for a Bible school and all wagons of this train stopped moving.
Being that the seed of God can not be locked or dumped permanently by the absent of men; I can testify that the Lord is rising up this broken wall with a great revival desire. Many people are coming up again for this work and God is connecting strings to over seas with friends. There is one woman by the name Bobbi Jo Miller who is over burdened and moved by God’s power to serve in this area as he do the Lord's work. Bobbi Jo has adopted the same spirit which was with Othniel (one of Bible judges) who found the people of God surrounded by their enemies (Mesopotamian); He matched in to the battle to lead Hebrew’s army and prevailed against their enemies. This brought 40 years of peace in the land.
The need which Bobbi saw in Nairobi Kenya among the Orphans/Street Kids, during her first visit has moved her heart to act as she leads a team from US to cooperate with Kenya leaders who are also partaking in this same burden so that they may work in helping these defeated people of God.
HOW DOMNIC & BOBBI MET.
Bobbi Jo Miller came for a mission to Africa Kenya with a fellow servant called Lori Shinar. This was in the year 2007 when I was still in a Bible school. Their mission extended to reach us in this school whereby we had a youth camp together for 7 days.
This is the time we first met for a week and shared visions of ministries together with them. We were all moved by each other’s as the visions were matching as twins. Through this we began planning for a joint work force pursuing it as one vision of reaching Lord’s people in Africa beginning from Kenya to other nations.
This plan is on the ground whereby Bobbi Jo is the president in operation of this ministry in U.S. for organizing the sources and resources, while Domnic and Millicent Owigo are the Kenya Directors of all ground work and mobility with other co-workers.
The ministry is focused on developing capability to disable people who are struggling with life but defeated. This is to enable them gain their lives of today living and future, both spiritually and materially.
We are working towards mitigating the needs of:-
- Orphans/Street Kids
- Widows
- Spreading the Word of God to the lost world.
