Benson Omondi is a team leader and CEO for African Enterprise.
When did you trust Christ?
I surrendered my life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in 1992 while in high school. A fellow student preached to me about my need to seek forgiveness from God through Jesus Christ. This concept was very new to me, but it seemed so rewarding, given the promise of eternal life. That night, I gave my life to Christ.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
While serving as a Christian Union leader in the university, I received support and mentorship on how to reach my fellow students from the General Secretary of FOCUS (Fellowship of Christian Unions), who is still my mentor to this day. He encouraged me to attend an annual student conference that enabled me to grow in faith as a student. As a member of the International Christian Centre, I had moments of leading teams to prison and hospital ministry. That has changed my perspective on life here on Earth and thereafter.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
The Forum has given me a rare chance to connect with my brothers and sisters from Europe and other countries. This year, I wish to enhance my networks, share my experience, and learn more about evangelism. I also wish to connect with many friends who I made in the previous meetings and whom I have not physically connected with since COVID.
What is your ministry?
I serve full-time with an organisation called African Enterprise Kenya. We work together with a team of associates to evangelise the cities of Africa through word and deed in partnership with the church and other strategic partners. We do this by preaching the Gospel but also by meeting the social needs of the communities we serve. Through what we call 'stratified evangelism', we reach out to professionals with the Gospel in their sectors.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I was the chairman of the Christian Union at the university, where I led students in worship and outreach. In my church, I served as the chairman of the missions board for over four years.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
Our ministry gives individuals a chance to participate in city-wide outreaches through our stratified evangelism model. The results have been changed hearts, restored families, healed marriages, and reduced evil in our cities. Such forums go a long way toward healing rifts among communities.
