James and Vangie Odongo - Kenya

Location: Kenya, East Africa

Ministry Description: When our commitment in YWAM ended in 2002, God put in our heart Isaiah 61 and we knew that Kisumu was the place to begin fulfilling this scripture.  Our passion is to evangelize through practical approaches and to disciple those whom we have evangelized.  Since June 2005 we've been pioneering Good News Community Centre in Kisumu.  We thank the Lord for enabling us to provide 94 sheep for 94 widows, 8 tin-roof huts built, 2 water wells, 9 bee hives, vegetable gardens, and on-going Bible Study for Ouya 'Blessing' widow's group.  Twelve orphans are on our regular sponsorship program, and we purchased 2 acres of land for a boarding school for orphans.  And lastly, through the ministry of Good News Community Centre, we have rejoiced with over 400 people who have given their lives to the Lord.
