Pastor of the Month - Meet Japhet Mwagese

Pastor Japhet Mwagese and his wife, Anna, shepherd the twenty-five members of Kachero Church located in a small fishing village along the shore of Lake Jipe, Kenya. The church structure, made possible by a gift from the WMU of The Family Church - Sugar Hill, Georgia, was dedicated on April 29, 2007.


The village is comprised of a combination of Christian and Muslim people. Alcoholism, immorality and witchcraft are terrible blights on the village. Pray for Pastor Japhet as he brings the Light to the people of Kachero.


The Mwagese's, who have four children, scrape out a subsistence living on a small farm near Lake Jipe.
