Judy Mbugua
National Partner and HSF Director
In 1967, Judy was a new Christian, a new wife, and a young mother. Her husband did not share her faith, it took him another 28 years before he gave his life to Christ. He would join her at church, but not accompany her to the Couples Fellowship, and the other groups for people her age were the Single Parents and Widows Groups which she did not fit in either. So, there she was in the "most friendly church in town" yet unable to fit within any group. She felt the Lord tell her to look around and see if there were other women in her situation, and she ended up counting twenty other women. She sensed the Lord urging her to invite them to her home for fellowship. They started meeting once a month and grew to over 100 women. Within two years, they numbered over 300, spanning several denominations but all seeking to pray for the salvation of their families. Those monthly meetings birthed what would later be named Homecare Spiritual Fellowship. In 1985, after meeting for five years in homes and various church campuses, Rev. Dr. Judy Mbugua registered Homecare Spiritual Fellowship with the government of Kenya. While 80% of Kenyans claim to be Christian, only 15% go to church and practice their faith.
The Homecare Ministry is an interdenominational fellowship of born-again Christians who are committed to praying for the salvation of whole households. Their current project is to build a new Prayer and Training Center.
Judy serves as CEO, is an ordained minister and has two honorary degrees, one in Theology. She is also a lecturer at Haggai Institute for Advanced Leadership. She has authored eight books on Christian faith and evangelizes through speaking engagements at churches. She hosts a weekly TV program "Families under God” and co-hosts a radio program with her son Robert.
Prayer Requests:
-
Pray for the Bethel training school that the students would remain spiritually and physically healthy. They are very vulnerable since they come from the Kibera slums.
-
Pray for the group of Fadhili women that we are working with who are living positive with HIV/AIDS. We need to pray for them to stay healthy as most are the breadwinners for their
family. Pray they can obtain work or employment to bring in income. -
Pray for the orphaned and vulnerable children that we may take as many as we can to school. Pray that God would keep them protected and healthy.
