Kenya is an English-speaking country in East Africa. Kenyans are 83% Christian, but it is estimated that 31% of the 115 people groups are unreached. There are 80,000 congregations trying to reach these people groups, but translations of Scripture are needed. There are 74 languages in Kenya. Most languages have portions of the Scripture translated, but only 16 languages have the entire Bible. You can pray for the groups that are working diligently to increase the availability of The Word. We are linking hearts with David Mutai, a missional consultant for the church in Kenya, and Harrison Githu of Changemakers for Christ.

HARRISON GITHU
Key Catalyst for The World Leader
in Kenya
Harrison Maina Githu grew up in a Christian home in Laikipia, Kenya. He was the third of nine children. He attended Sunday School and grew in his faith in both primary and secondary school. One night in April of 1994, Harrison could not sleep, and he realized that he needed to fully give his life to the Lord. Soon after, he rode his bicycle for seven kilometers to reach someone who was a strong Christian. With guidance, Harrison gave his life to the Lord. He was attending high school at the time. In 1996, he attended college and became involved with the Christian Union on campus and a local church. Harrison was energized and on fire for the Lord. After college, he returned to his village’s church and participated in outreach. The church grew from just 11 people to 250 members. Harrison was named their regional evangelist, as the church outreach expanded to the surrounding villages.
Harrison worked with other missionaries, pastors, and church organizations through the non-profit God’s Grace For All Nations. He was named Director of Mercy Missions in 2010. Later, he was named Director of Missions to unreached tribes. This ministry involved feeding the hungry, building an orphanage, and helping bring peace and reconciliation to different tribes. He was given the opportunity to travel to Turkey and Brazil for missions training courses. He brought his knowledge back to Kenya and started working with the indigenous tribes and planting churches. Harrison has earned multiple certificates in missions, including leadership and cross-cultural missions, and a diploma in theology.
In 2003, Harrison married his wife, Tabitha Wangui Harrison. They have two children, Clement and Louise. They live in Nakuru County, but Harrison’s evangelization ministry takes him to the rural areas of Kenya.
Ministry: T-falls Foundations
The Mission of the T-Falls Foundation Inc. is to repair and renovate primary schools and high schools that are in need in Kenya. There are many schools that are in poor condition and, as a result, teachers can not properly educate, and students cannot effectively learn. The T-Falls Foundation Inc strives to methodically upgrade the building structures in schools of need – one school at a time. The TFalls Foundation Inc. will work closely with the local community throughout the construction process with a goal of handing off a vastly improved school structure to the faculty, parents and students.
Catalyst For The World is proud to partner with Harrison as he participates in the grassroots efforts of transforming local schools through T-falls Foundation. Michael has worked with Harrison since 2009 partnering with him on several projects including reaching some of the unreached peoples of Kenya.
