My first Kkkrew Bible Study experience came on 26th January the year of our Lord 2016. Needless to say, I was clueless as to what to expect, after all, my main reason for coming to Nairobi Cinema that day was to meet with a friend of mine who happened to be in the Kkkrew BS media team.
Before I continue, let me first introduce myself. As far as my Birth Certificate and the Government of Kenya are concerned my name is Peter Mwangi. But as far as my close friends are concerned, I go by the following names; MD (in reference to my job title Managing Director), Hopkins and Boy Genius (about my genius/geeky side).
Now that we have dispensed with the formalities let us continue. After the meeting I decided to join my friend who goes by the name of Jeremiah. Since I was not sure where to seat, I decided to follow him, and he led me to one of the front row seats and with some hesitation I sat down. But no sooner had I sat down than the praise and worship session began and I was again on my feet. When the time came for the first time visitors to stand up, I obediently stood up not knowing what would happen next.
Fortunately, we were not asked to go on stage as is the custom in other gatherings I have been to. Instead, we (all the first time visitors) were told to plug into a county (whatever that meant). After the Bible Study was over, I met these two ladies, Kendi, and Jenny, who insisted that I should join their county. I later came to learn that Kendi is the head of the Prayer team. I joined Indomitables County, and it was love at first sight. It has been close to five months since I joined Indomitables and in all honesty, I cannot help but wonder where this amazing group of people have been hiding all my life.
My personal relationship with God began some six years back while I was still in High School. Back then I was a depressed, porn addicted, suicide thinking teenager without direction. When I gave my life to Christ I was transformed into an ambitious young leader destined for greatness.
Sadly, my leadership journey was not going so well especially after I was appointed the Secretary General of the Kenya Model United Nations MKU chapter. Having being deserted by my fellow officials I faced an uphill task of trying to maintain the club’s relevance. As if that was not stressful enough I had to worry about my startup company that was yet to launch. I also had to worry about the horrifying possibility of having to drop out of law school due to lack of school fees. It is during this period of uncertainty that I began questioning God’s plan for my life, had He forgotten about me, was it time to abandon my leadership journey and return back to my old ways? Were Christ and His saints asleep?
In the five months, I have been in Kkrew and especially in my county Indomitables, I have re-connected with God and His great mission for my life and to be honest, there is no place I would rather want to be than among people who call on the name of the Lord out of a pure heart. So I have no desire or wish of quitting KkrewBs ever. Finally, to you who is yet to come to KkrewBs find your way to Nairobi Cinema one of this Tuesdays as from 5:30pm, it will literally change your life.
