GWTW Missions: Kenya 
PASTOR ZAPHANIA MASORE MAKORI AND GLADYS NYANCHAMA NYAKEBA – KENYA Gladys Manchama Nyakweba is married to Pastor Zaphania Masore Makori. They are blessed with two sons, Japhet and Edwin. Gladys says, “I help women in the slums of Nairobi, especially in spiritual nourishment through teachings of their divine calling as mothers. I lead a community-based women’s group and ministry, specifically targeting women in towns, slums and villages to teach them biblical, family values. “Five orphans stay in my home. Our church has many orphans because many women here have died because of HIV-AIDS. Some orphans do not have a family, and, as women of God, we must care for them.” THE TEAM The dedicated, Women of God ministry has several members in the country of Kenya that exist to strengthen and equip women in ministry and local missions in our regions. They have served in planning and convening national conferences for women and mothers, especially pastors’ wives, because they can carry the message to others through their churches. The group also partners with other local churches here in teaching family values. Women of God are doing the wonderful work of the Lord here through noble callings they embrace in Christian, social, and community service to women, and, as mothers, they are helping destitute children, like orphans. OUR PURPOSE: To honor, glorify, and heed the voice of the Living God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To seek and to save those who are lost by taking the Word of Jesus Christ beyond the walls of the church via conferences, crusades, seminars, and retreats in cities and principalities all over the world. To empower, encourage, exhort, equip, advance, and, continually edify the Body of Christ in thanksgiving and praise while tearing down strongholds that divide women racially, denominationally, socially, and economically, lifting high the banner of the true and living God. These goals allow us to walk in love, in the anointing and in the healing power of Jesus Christ. To welcome every woman of God into this fold according to the faith that Jesus Christ lives who is the Son of God, the soon-coming Messiah, and most of all - To uphold women as mothers, wives, and homemakers. Services and ministry we offer are counseling to the women who hurt, community development, better nutrition, farming skills to the women in villages and remote/rural areas of Kenya, and ministering the Word of God both in its simplicity and complexity. We organize and hold meetings, targeting women who need our help the most. Visit schools, especially the all-girl schools, with the message of hope and empowerment, and, most of all, ministering love. Development Projects are: As you know, most of the economic/living conditions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa demand they have alternative ways to make a living. Therefore, in needy, remote villages, we endeavor to engage in knitting, tailoring, bicycle transportation, handcrafts, dress-making, embroidery, small enterprises and micro-farming agricultural activities, especially horticultural produce. Our desire is to have magnificent, income-generating projects to help cater to the needs of the ministry and its members, like sewing.

As an African Child, I was brought up in the ups and downs of an African baby. There is a saying we were told that life is full of storms, challenges, trials, and cries. Just as a plane takes off, it meets heavy clouds and a bumpy environment, but the pilot does not reverse, He keeps on flying until he reaches the Zone that is soft. We were told that regardless of the challenges, we will get to the rest Zone. This thought kept me going. Life was not as simple and easy as an African Girl, and so many challenges came, which included me being forced to marry at a tender age. However, with God on our side and the fact that His plans cannot be changed by any man, we were over comers. I remember a time when women’s days approached, we could use rags or leaves instead of Pads! What a terrible experience; but in all, Hope kept me going. Sometimes when I remember these times, tears come forth! As a teenager, I decided to give my life to the Lord! It was a shame and abomination for a girl to say she is born again since I come from a community where Culture is at work. Going against the Culture was an abomination, and. sometimes I was declared an outcast! Thrown out of home and. rejected by everyone, but I kept on moving! Everybody else turned against me. However, God remained by my side and encouraged me by the Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego story that even in fire, God showed up. I knew God would show up one day! According to our community, a woman is a Nobody, which offends me! God started laying a burden on me as I grew as a young girl that One day I will speak for women, for they are Voiceless in the community. They are persecuted, raped and abused. I asked God for enough grace to be a blessing to women in all areas of Life. After my marriage, my husband, an anointed man of God, pastor Zaphania Masore Makori, helped and encouraged, me there and then, The passion for women started burning and burning. I was pregnant for women’s ministry! God’s Word to Women in Kenya was born. Miraculously, God divinely connected me to a mentor through the GWTW website in the perfect will of God! Thank the God’s Word to Women website – www.godswordtowomen.org for their support to make sure that many are reached with the Word of God. All in all, 295 GWTW women are in Kenya.
