Pastor Henry Mburu

Praise God, My name is Pastor Henry K. Mburu. I am the senior pastor of Jesus Transformation Center under Redeemed Gospel Church Githurai 45 ( Z-Corner)

I was born in a small a village in Muranga district central part of Kenya, East Africa. Our family was very poor family and my father died when I was still young forcing my mother and my grand mother to assumed the responsibility of taking care of me. As a child I faced many challenges including child labor but thanks to God in the 1985, I did my final exams in primary school. I managed to be among the best 3 pupils who performed well and I joined form 1 the following year.
In form 1 and 2 first term things were okay but as from second term in form 2, due to peer pressure I started developing bad behaviors. I started smoking cigarettes, running away at night for discos e.t.c.
We formed a group called 40, no one could point a finger to any member of this group not even the teachers. Everywhere we passed we unleashed terror. One day we decided to strike and attack teachers who were living in school compound especially the women. That night was terrible, the entire school was awoke and the “40” group started rioting screaming like mad men, throwing stones all over the place We were full of evil spirit and did abnormal things.

The police finally came and we ran to a neighboring girl’s school and messed up everything there. The following day we were to be sent home for good but God intervened and we were only suspended for a week. During that week, I came back to my senses like the prodigal son and realized that God was looking for my life. In form 3, things were even worse but the Christian Union members started preaching the gospel and there was a great revival in our school. During this revival, two of our “40” group members got saved. One evening, CU members came to our dormitory to preach. They preached till I felt heat where I was sitting. But I never gave my life to Jesus instead we attacked the preachers and kicked them out. From that night, I never got peace, I was sleepless, food was testless, and there was nothing good to me for a whole week. Other students wondered what was wrong with me. Little did they know that my salvation was just around the corner.

SPIRITUAL BACK GROND
On 20th July 1989 at mid night I heard a voice telling me to repent and Jesus would give me peace. I started crying inside my heart. The power of God was so much on me that I could not hold the cry within me. I started screaming, my screams awoke the entire school. The Teachers, Students and workers surrounded me and no one knew what was happening. I heard some say I had become mad and I should be rushed to Mathare mental hospital. On the process I heard a voice saying, “All he needs is salvation.” Suddenly I saw myself holding one brother telling him to pray for me. He ushered me to Christ and when I looked up I realized he was a brother I had once assaulted when he was preaching in our dormitory. I cried and told him to forgive me. He told me Jesus had already forgiven me. I was full of peace though I never stopped crying till morning. Since that night I became the vessel God wanted me to be.

MINISTERIAL GIFTING
In1993, I and other brethren formed an evangelistic group called Eden’s ministry which our vision was to bring people back to God(Garden of Eden)This group was formed by different brethren from different churches. This ministry had leader like pastor,director,secretary,mission organsing secretary etc.I was chosen to be their pastor and where we go they use to call me pastor may be because of the role I was playing in the ministry .During December holidays that year, we held our first crusade at a place called Mirichu Mugoiri Muranga District. Here is where I preached my first crusades. We held a one week crusade and revival meetings and we planted a church there with 50 members. From there we started holding crusades, revival meetings, week-challengesand conferences indifferent place of the country. God opened many doors for this group and many pastor through our members associated with us. This is where my call started.
In the year 1994, I held another crusades at a place called Wanjengi still in North Muranga and I planted a church there we some one to look after the church. Same year August, we held a conference and a crusades at Kahuro and since there were members from Wanjengi and Mirichu who are coming from this place plus the ones got saved at that time we opened a another branch therewith around 80 members. In 1996, I held a crusade and a revival meeting at a place called Ndutumi. Here God moved in a mighty way and many people were healed and delivered. During this crusade, 40 people got saved and this forces me to open a church there. All this churches mark you we were leaving them with other pastor from those areas.. Till today the churches are moving on well and they have spread to other place and number is increasing .They are opening more branches.
In 1998 we opened a Redeemed Gospel Church, at a place called Kariobangi light Industry where I worked for 5 years as an assistant pastor. In 2003 I moved G ithurai 45 where I become an associate pastor in one of the Redeemed churches there. In February 2006, I heard the voice of God sending me to plant a new church. I share my vision with my senior pastor and he released me to open the church.

VISION
My vision is to bring people to the Kingdom of God and the original relationship with God. My cry is that many may come to know Jesus who died for our sins not only in Kenya but the entire parts of the world, where God will enable me to go. I have a vision to serve the community in different areas like having a schools where the children from poor families can study for free, build hospitals & clinics, help the needy, windows, widowers, the elderly and less fortunate members of the society. In conclusion my vision is to make sure that no one suffers spiritually or physically, where I can help.
Iam fully confidence that my God will one day bring my vision to reality as long as I live.
