Our MISSION
The Global Methodist Church exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ
and spread scriptural holiness across the globe.
At the heart of the Global Methodist Church is a deep desire to surrender fully to the one true God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—and to live out a passionate devotion to what matters most to Him.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we envision a worldwide movement of disciples who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly. Jesus calls us to love God wholeheartedly and our neighbors as ourselves, and we strive to embody His extravagant love in all we do.
We are entrusted with a lifesaving, transforming message and are committed to sharing the whole counsel of God with all peoples—boldly, fearlessly, and with unwavering faith.
Rooted in Scripture and led by the Spirit, we seek to advance God’s Kingdom in every culture and community. As a global church, we value the gifts of every member, walking together in mutual love, humility, and service—especially toward the vulnerable—as we partner in God’s mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ and transform the world.
Worship passionately. love extravagantly. witness boldly.

Introduction In the heart of Western Kenya, where survival is a daily struggle, my journey began as the firstborn of twelve children from peasant parents. Life was marked by hardship and deprivation; often, we went without food, and the concept of a proper meal felt like a distant dream. My mother, a beacon of hope, tirelessly mended my torn clothes, preparing me for school against all odds. Despite overwhelming challenges, a flicker of hope emerged through the generosity of a local church that saw potential in me. Their unwavering support lit a path I once thought was forever closed. This is my story—a testament to resilience, determination, and the transformative power of education.
The Kenya Annual Conference is dedicated to pursuing God’s work with passion and zeal. The conference aims to bring community and self-sustainability to local churches and communities. The KAC-Development Investment Fund was created by the Kenya Annual Conference under the direction of the 2025 Conference session at Dr, B.T. Cooper Memorial School in Kayole Nairobi. This fund was created locally by Kenya's Global Methodist churches and is distributed according to the evaluation of each local church's capacity. In order for the KAC to fulfill its ministry responsibilities, churches agreed to contribute between approximately $40 and $400 U.S. dollars each year. Churches agreed to invest the funds after a specific time period to work toward self-sustainability. The fund's primary goals are to enhance the conference's financial foundation, increase resources and support its developmental prospects. Long-lasting impacts that fortify local communities are produced by the fund, which fosters unity and a shared goal among local congregations and helps the Conference become self-sustaining, self-propagating, and self-supporting. In order to support the church and raise money for its ministers, the conference encourages congregations to launch modest business ventures. Missions-minded, the Kenya Annual Conference coordinates outreaches at House Grace Gigil-Nakuru District, Mikingirini in Kilifi and at Dirakho GMC to inspire members in spreading scriptural holiness across different communities. The conference ordained 5 elders and 22 deacons from 2024-2025, performed 30 baptisms, saw 44 confirmations and 170 new professions of faith. Conference superintendent Rev. Wilton Odongo led and prioritized discipleship in the local church, traveling to every district to teach leaders, pastors and laypeople about the Global Methodist Church and the depth of its worship. To support the need for ministry education for pastors, Bishop Jeff Greenway taught more than 50 pastors at the Wesleyan Methodist Training College in Nairobi last October. The conference also offered regional pastor training hubs to develop skills, educate on Methodism and teach on church administration and structural organization in Kakuma, Turkana and North Coast regions. The conference currently seeks retired clergy members who are willing to donate their time and resources to teach or empower Kenyan pastors and leaders. The conference signed a memorandum of understanding in June with the Allegheny West Annual Conference, pairing districts together and developing relationships with pastors to strengthen the power of the connection. Through this partnership, Allegheny West provided scholarship funds to support 45 high school and college students for 2024 and 2025, creating new opportunities for young adults and inspiring growth of church membership for very vulnerable and poor families. The Kenya Annual Conference has a three-year goal to plant 29 new churches. In April, congregants attended a church planting and multiplication workshop to create vision action plans to achieve this goal. The conference planted 19 new churches in 2024, and 37 churches joined the GMC in 2025. In total, the Kenya Annual Conference has 133 congregations across the country, with many more in the process of being planted and discipled. The conference is praying for partners, friends, and well-wishers across the connection as plans move forward to establish a ministry center. This center would provide a place where local leadership could host conferences, seminars, and workshops, while also serving as a resource to support broader initiatives such as kingdom development, mission work, scholarships for Global Methodist Church students, and economic empowerment for members. The Wesleyan Methodist Training Center (WMTC), established in 2019, continues to equip pastors and leaders. Currently operating in a rented facility that has become increasingly costly, the conference looks forward to one day having a permanent location where ministry can flourish and expand. At the same time, the conference continues to lift up local congregations facing significant challenges. Some worship in makeshift or substandard structures, while others gather under trees in unsanitary conditions that pose health risks. In particular, churches such as House of Grace—relocated last year—and Kayole St. John’s are navigating difficult circumstances and are in need of support. Access to clean water remains a critical concern, with plans to secure modern drilling equipment as a priority for the year ahead. Meanwhile, churches serving in the Turkana Region’s Kakuma refugee camps are deeply impacted by hunger and limited access to health care. Through prayer, partnership, and perseverance, the conference is working toward strengthening the witness and wellbeing of local churches and communities.

Scripture: “ Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5 (NIV) “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” – James 4:8 (NIV) Devotional Thought: Life doesn’t always make sense. It’s not always fair. Hard things happen—sometimes in waves that threaten to pull us under. I know this truth deeply and personally. In just four years, I lost all four of my grandparents. My first husband abandoned me and our daughter. I endured two miscarriages, battled ovarian cancer, and underwent surgery. At age 31, I lost my second husband suddenly to a heart attack. These losses cut deep. I entered a season of addiction—dark, consuming, and isolating. And yet—God. Fourteen years ago, I had an encounter with the living God. In that sacred moment, I met Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. That encounter changed everything. Fourteen years later, I am still in recovery, still walking in grace, still held together by the One who promised never to leave me or forsake me. His Word became my anchor. “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5) “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” (James 4:8) Even when doctors discovered three blood clots in the language center of my brain, God was with me. I made a full recovery. In the valleys and the victories, I have experienced His faithfulness. I’ve learned to love even when betrayed. I’ve grieved deeply, most recently losing my mother suddenly. Grief and I have walked together for many years. Yet, the wounds God healed in earlier seasons have helped me walk through new pain with hope, not despair. One thing I know for sure: bad things happen in this world. We don’t get to choose when or how. We do, however, get to choose how we respond. There are hurting people all around us—not just across the world, but right down the street. We can choose to step out of our comfort zones, meet people where they are, and be vessels of compassion and encouragement. Focusing only on the chaos of the world drains our energy and shifts our focus from what God is calling us to do right here, right now. You may not be able to control the world, but you can control your response. You can choose love. You can choose grace. You can choose to draw near to God—and He will draw near to you. Reflection Questions: Where in your life have you seen God remain faithful, even in pain? Are you focusing on things you can’t control, or are you letting God use you where you are? Who in your community might need encouragement today? Prayer: Lord, thank You for never leaving me, even when I felt abandoned or broken. Help me to keep my eyes on You, not on the chaos around me. Teach me to be an encourager, a light, and a vessel of Your love to those around me. May my story, my scars, and my healing all bring glory to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
