#MyKkrewBsStory: Ian Ingalula

Of most social media strategist guys that I have met, Ian is the most active. This guy is known to keep timelines for everything. He is the guy behind the KkrewBs Facebook page, of the fantastic devotions you get, photos and any other info, Ian is your guy, I believe in another lifetime, when technology allows, Ean will be dishing out bread to everyone of you every morning. He is a walking phone directory and a dictionary. This is the guy who would single-handedly shut down Yellow Pages or Wikipedia. Ask for Debonairs Pizza’s contacts he will recite it like a poem, you are stranded somewhere and you need someone’s number and you share a mutual WhatsApp group, Ian will be at your service. It is 3:00 am and you feel like hitting a gym and you ask in a group which gym you should go to, Ian will post at 3:02am telling you how many steps you should take to the left or right to your nearest location. You are driving upcountry and you are looking for secluded places to relieve yourself, or you are in Thika road cruising in that borrowed car and you don’t know where these speed guys are, Ian comes in handy.

I think Google should track Ian and store him in a cool dry place because they will soon run out of business. In that hangout, Ian will be the first to attend, should you guys need a bite, Ian will recommend what each one will eat and the nearest place to fill the rumbling stomachs. This guy contains a database of local listings in Kenya, no wonder he calls himself Ean254 ‘e’ that replaces ‘i’ to show he has electronic circuits all over his body and 254 to show that indeed his database is updated with all local listings and information. With his geeky name we decided to give him a name that his culture will not so much feel outclassed and decided to call him #IngersKenya – ‘Ingers’ for Ingalula and Kenya to maintain his 254 database name (geeks will tell you that you do not just change a database’s name ki-pumpkin pumpkin). One disclaimer though, this guy is a bot. How we walks, how he laughs and how he looks at you – this guy doesn’t have the draw down ‘chorea chini’ motive, he looks you deep into your eyes scanning for ills. You know those people who look at you in church like they know all your sins, Ian is one of them. This guys work though is always perfect. Don’t ask me how my interview with him was, it was only one paragraph of detailed info. This is his #KkrewBsStory

*****************************************************************************************

I used to listen to Truth FM and one day I happened to listen to ‘The Big Testimony’ show and this guy Kabi Wa Jesus talked about Kkrew, I was intrigued to find out what this Kkrew is. He had mentioned that they meet on Tuesdays at Nairobi Cinema as from 5.30pm. It was January 2015, Kkrew had not resumed yet. I came for 2 consecutive Tuesdays but I found no one at the venue. I even thought that I lost my direction and went to Kenya Cinema instead.

I never gave up and in the 3rd Tuesday, I came and found the service in session. Kyula was preaching and later that day I joined Timesis county and found Kabi Wa Jesus in the same county. I became active in sharing devotions, sermons and posters on my social platform and after the media team was formed I joined and started managing the Facebook account which I have seen grow through time. I found a crazy family in the Media Team and despite me being a quiet guy, I was once more lively and lost into the love of #DoingLifeTogether.

I have gained a lot in KkrewBs, I had no friends but I now have more than a family. My social life has improved and my spiritual life rocketed so high. I have improved my skills through a company we formed with friends (Increatives), still at the media team and I have known how to live with people. If you are not in KkrewBs, you do not know what you are missing. KkrewBs is not just another boring Christian life, Karibu.
