Here Joseph tell his story.
A Calling to Restore
My name is Joseph Macharia, and I am a pastor with the Church of Restoration.
In 2018, I felt called to ministry and, by the grace of God, started a church. Since then, the Lord has been faithful. He has given me opportunities to serve my congregation and help strengthen the community around us.
Helping a Family Find Reconciliation
One experience that has stayed with me involved a family that was almost breaking apart because of misunderstandings. They came to me seeking advice.
With God’s help and through much prayer, we worked toward reconciliation. Today, that family is together and doing very well. I thank God that He used me to help restore a family that was struggling.
A Permanent Home and a School
As our ministry continues, I am trusting God for what comes next.
One of my prayers is that we can purchase land for the church so our community will have a permanent place to gather and worship. I also hope to open a school. There is no school near the village where I minister, and I would like to help meet that need.
EQUIPPED TO SERVE
Preparing to serve my church and community
Another pastor introduced me to Divine Providence Training Center. I am trusting God that through this training, I will become better equipped to minister to my church and serve the people in my community. I thank God for this opportunity.
