SOFT VOICE
MISSION MINISTRY
First and foremost I must
say thank you for taking
your time
to visit Soft Voice Mission Ministry’s web-site. Your visiting this
website
brings an encouragement to our hearts. We are "a ministry with a
Vision." Our Ministry has compassion to God’s people who are perishing
in
sin. We have a call to reach the lost, develop the believer, teach the
young,
old and care for the forgotten people in Matopeni Kayole Nairobi and the
all
God’s people worldwide.
This is a ministry where the whole
body is
taken care of. It is a Ministry where the Spirit is nourished. We love
all
people young and old, Men and Women. When you first come to this place you don’t feel like leaving the
place
because of the Love you will receive in this Ministry. A ministry with a
purpose and goal. In this Ministry everyone is important. We see people
the way
God sees them. God sent us to Matopeni to raise leaders, because we know
that
everyone has a gift from the Lord.
In case you find yourself in Nairobi
Kenya;
if you are looking for a Ministry where your body, your mind and your
spirit
will be fed; if you are not saved or you don’t have a church to worship;
this
is a place where God ministers to His people in worship. We preach God
the
Father God the Son God the Holy Spirit as led by the Holy Spirit. The
Bible is
our Constitution that we use in telling God’s people what their father
speaks
to them. It is a warm fellowship which is both Biblically sound and
Socially
conscious fits your spiritual appetite, please pay us a visit.
We believe in making disciples. Our
mandate
is to call people in salvation then we get humble time with them, then
we teach
them the word of God. When they believe and follow what they are taught,
they
become ministers of the Gospel. We go as Christ commanded us.
In many cases we find that people are
wounded
but they don’t want to speak it out. Some women were raped when they
were
young, such incidents become the workshop of the devil. They feel
humiliated.
They feel rejected, they feel hated. They need someone who will show
them agape
love. We promise we are here to provide that love to them.
In this Ministry we are Spirit filled.
We
give the Holy Spirit a humble time to minister to us whichever way the
Lord
wants. We are not in early when it comes
to the time when the Holy Spirit ministers. At Matopeni, God directed us
to go
to door to door Evangelism. We started by opening Home Bible Churches
(HBC) in
our members houses. We target the people who are staying in the same
plot and
the surrounding of those members. It has become so effective to receive
new
members in this Ministry through Home Bible Churches.
We look forward to see you and worship
with
you soon. Incase you need any assistance, feel free to ask through our
contacts. Asking is knowing. If God opens your eyes to see mistakes in
this
ministry, please feel free to tell us to rectify because era is to
human. We
need and accept your comments. We ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in
everything
we do. we also need your prayers because with prayers God can open every
door
which was shut but the devil

SOFT VOICE MISSION MINISTRY
TO MATOPENI SLUM.
The name Matopeni is a Kiswahili
name which means a muddy place (Kiswahili is our
national language here in Kenya). The reason why
the place was named Matopeni is, from the out look of things that place
was so
dirty that nobody desired to stay there. But as time went by Nairobi
started
growing rapidly.
At this place people discovered the
crushing
stones to make it ballast which is also know as quarry. Since getting
jobs in
Nairobi become too difficult to get, people had to go to this place to
crash
stones for a living. It is not an easy job but they are managing.
This people had to walk from some
nearby
Estes. Houses became expensive for these workers; so some people decided
to go
to this place and started building Iron Sheet houses we call them slums
which
were not expensive for them. Although people have started building
permanent
houses, this people are still staying in poverty. Because the spirit of
poverty
is following them. We need to break down this spirit to come out of this
place
in Jesus name.
As I was meditating upon this name (Matopeni) Spiritually, I got a
revelation. Although Matopeni was a
dirty place in the physical, these also apply to the Spiritual life. The
devil
has smeared people with spiritual mud in this place.
He has made them to stay poor, even if
they
try doing anything they can not succeed unless something is done. It is
like a
curse. So that is the reason why God sent us to this place, to bring a solution to His people, to preach good
tidings to the poor as it is written in the book of Isaiah
61 the whole chapter.
We are pleased to introduce Soft Voice
Mission Ministry to you. This is a Ministry which God Himself anointed
and gave
it to us to go to Matopeni and become a blessing to many!
We are a Ministry based in Kenya with
an
International Outreach mind. Not by mighty nor by power but by the Holy
Spirit
of the living God. Before we opened this Ministry on Sunday 3rdJanuary 2010 we started going around Cities of Kenya for door to door
evangelism, touching the hearts of many people with the Gospel of
Salvation the
hearts lost Souls equipping them to be ready to attack satan because he
is our
greatest enemy
We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testament, are the inspired Word
of God and
are the revelation of God to man, the infallible Divine and final
authority for
all Christian faith and life.
We believe Jesus
Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He
lived a
sinless life, miracles and healings attest to His earthly ministry.
He died on the cross as the sacrifice
for our
sins. He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is seated
at the
right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Advocate.
We believe the Baptism
in the Holy Spirit is granted to all believers who ask for this
experience. We believe this experience is distinct from and follows the
new
birth.
Every believer can and should be
filled with
the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues. We believe the Baptism in the Holy
Spirit
is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues
as theSpirit of God gives utterance.
We believe in the Baptism of water by
immersion and that one day Jesus will be coming back for a Holy Church
of which
we want to be partakers at the Lord’s Table after Resurrection.
We have a Vision to establish Soft
Voice
Mission Ministry as a place of excellent Worship and total reverence to
Christ.
We have a Vision of having this Ministry be where everyone will call
home.
A place where the sick will be healed
by the
blood of Jesus Christ, a place where the Spirit of God will be in full
control
of everything done in this Ministry, place where problems will be solved
by the
Holy Spirit, a place where the presence of God will be felt everywhere, a
place
where Demons will be cast out, a place where God’s people will be set
free,
This will be the place of Worship! A
place of
a unites God’s through:
· Missions
Outreach
· Intercessory
· Training pastor
and other Leaders on how to handle the flock
· Youth
Ministry
· Sound Ministry
· Music (Praise and
Worship, Choir)
· Hospital ministry
· Schools and
Colleges Ministry
· Men Ministry
· Ladies Ministry
· Children and
pre-teens
· Ushering
Department
· Home cells
· Couple ministry
· Decollation and
pulpit ministry
· And all the other
supporting Ministries.
God led us to Matopeni Slums as an
answer to
the specific needs of the slum dwellers. So many Ministries have
preached in
Matopeni and left the slums with hopelessness. We believe in giving hope
to the
hopeless as I have stated earlier.
Others
could not make it because their motive was looking for money, we were
told that
many pastors tried to open churches but they could not sustain those
Churches.
There are some few ministries God has put in this place, we will try our
best
to come together and work together because we can not contain all the
people in
one place.
On this foundation as we were praying,
God
connected me to some of His servants, who encouraged me to open this
Ministry
and serve the people of God without reservation. God Bless you where you
are
because of your encourage to me. Thanks for all what you have always
told.
This small area has over 50,000 people
living
in it. This place is mostly made up of (widows and their children) and
(Single
Mothers and their Children). Street kids, Prostitution and alcoholism is
very
high here as well.
It is a slum area in Nairobi not very
far
from our International Airport. It is a slum in one of the many
forgotten slums
in Nairobi, in Kenya.
Matopeni slum is infested with
careless
lifestyles which have resulted in many families loosing bread winners as
a
result of HIV/AIDS.
God gave us a very specific message to
take
to the people of Matopeni. Take care of them and nurture them as the
Bible
says.
Our
vision is to hear the word of God,
we get it into
our hearts, we then preach it as it is in the Bible from house to house,
making
those who believe Disciples of Jesus Christ for them to become His
Ambassadors,
and then all of us, we come together to make Him known to every creature
starting from Matopeni to all parts of the world through all available
means by
the help of the Holy Spirit.
We plan to give hope where there is no
hope
in all aspects of life by:
· Purchasing PA
system which will allow us to preach the Gospel starting from Matopeni
to the
other parts of Kenya to the entire world.
· Purchasing a
piece of land where we will call Home, a starting point of our Missions.
· Establishing a
Church in Matopeni which is Soft Voice Mission International
· Drilling Water
points within the Slum to serve the Community.
I have
toured the
place and the following are the photos showing how the place is:
The residents of Matopeni Slums endure
extremely poor living conditions. One problem that affects the health
and
development of the entire community, especially women and children, is
almost
total lack of sources of clean water for drinking and other domestic
use.
Generally, at the present time, most
dwellers, especially women and children, have to walk about two miles,
several
times a day, to bring home a small bucket of water for domestic use.
Lack of clean water in the immediate
vicinity
of the slum village poses many serious health risks, especially for
women and
children. Apart from the increased danger of childbirth, women and
children are
exposed to the many tropical diseases in this area, notably Typhoid
Fever, Malaria,
Cholera, Dysentery and others.
In addition, lack of clean water
impacts the
population in other vital areas. Education is adversely affected since
children
are forced to spend inordinate amounts of time scrounging for unsanitary
water.
As a direct consequence of this problem, the residents of Matopeni live
on the
margins of society and are essentially disenfranchise.
Children are forced to stop going to
school
to go and work at the quarrywhich in the evening they go home with less than a dollar.
Following the high cost of
constructing a
church building, God connected us to one of the brothers who has a
school in
Matopeni Slum. We shared with Him the vision we have upon this slum. God
touched Him, and then he allowed us to use some of his classes to open
Soft
Voice Mission International Church.
It is not a very good environment for
the
church. There are sometimes when we will want to have week day meetings
like
lunch hour services, evening services, counseling services, Conferences.
But this place will not be the best to
use
for all this purposes because the classes will be occupied by pupils.
Again the
way the classes are build, they are very small. Since we believe in
growth,
soon the classes will be too small for us.
We request our friends in the Lord
where you
are to pray for us for God to open doors so that we can purchase a plot
where
we can put a Sanctuary for the Lord. Where there is no Vision people
perish and
Faith is a substance of things hoped for. We believe that our God is
able to do
it.
These classes are build of Iron sheets
which
are too hot when the climate is Sunny. We will be required to installed
fans to
improve air circulation because permanent air conditioners cannot be
installed
in an iron sheet structure.
The floors of these classes are not
cemented
so there is too much dust that can bring diseases. We need also to
improve this
learning center for our Kids to find a smooth place of learning.
These kids need learning materials
like
books, pencils, pens, rubbers, uniforms they also need computer classes
which
will require us to have computers etc. We please need your assistance
where you
can. We don’t have resources to pay teachers, may God intervene in this
situation.
The reason why we decided to put this
church
in this school for the time being is because we are targeting the
parents who
bring their children to this school.
Recently the school had a graduation
ceremony
where we encouraged pupils to work hard in there education up to
University
level. I was the one who was giving them
certificates. It was so powerful. The following are the photos we took
during
that time.
In this school because the place is a
learning institution, we can not raise the pulpit. So I believe it will
be hard
for people sited behind to see the preacher demonstrating something in
the
front.
This
shows the plan we have for the Church, to make it a center of attraction
within
Matopeni slums such that it will offer hope to the souls attending the
services.
As I said earlier, our need at this
moment is
to purchase equipments; we need to have Open Airs and Crusades in the
area and
beyond Matopeni. We need them for outside meeting and indoor meetings. I
am
pregnant for Matopeni slum.
I pray than God touches brothers and
sisters
in the Lord to assist me to accomplish this vision, because I can not
make it
alone. I please need vision helpers to support me in fighting a good
fight and
finish the race.
We need your prayers because anything
starts
with God will prosper. It doesn’t matter how it starts but the end
matters. We
need your support where you can.
We can not make it alone, please
introduce us
to your friends and explain to them what is happening. Who knows, maybe
one of
them can be touched to bless the work of God in Matopeni slums.
From Matopeni slum we need to open
Soft Voice
Mission International in many slums in Kenya and in Africa because many
people
in slums are neglected by our governments.
We wish you a happy new year, a year
of
luminosity a year of prosperity and fruitfulness. We pray for God to
open doors
which were shut down by the devil in your lives. May our Almighty God
richly
bless you.
Yours in Christ service,
Pastor Evans Gichana Kebungo. |
