This is a brief autobiography, not in any way trying to summarize my life, but rather to highlight points of Gods intervention. Coming from a poor rural family in Kenya, Africa, I had no reason to expect much from life. However, my father believed in me at a time when women were just expected to serve men within the home, so he decided to send me to school.
Having been taught about God at home, I wanted to know more about Him when I went to school. In 1957, I had a personal encounter with Him, and my life was never the same. I came to identify myself with the Apostle Paul when he says:
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to...all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also as to one abnormally born. For I am the least...but by the grace of God, I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect (1 Corinthians 15:3-10).
The book is my attempt to pass on to the younger generation what I have received from the Lord. I have experienced many miracles that culminated in my coming to America, where God has continued to surprise me, almost on a daily basis. I want my readers to know that though they may be the least in eyes of the world, once they put their faith in the God of the Bible, His grace will be sufficient in all of lifes circumstances. He is no respecter of persons. He blesses men, women, and children, black, white, slave and free!
