PETER KUYUNI
APOSTLE

My name is Apostle Peter Mulongo Kuyuni from Kitale town in Kenya. I am he vision bearer of Salvation to nations Gospel Ministries.This is a registered ministry with Kenya government. It has the ambitions to reach nations with the Gospel of Jesus. So that people to return to their Creator, God, through repentance. Initially, God called me out of sins while 17 years old. This was 1995 after my primary school level. I did not join a high school, because of poverty; my mother did not manage to pay school fees. Since my parents were separated in the 1980, while I was two years old, my mother moved from Bungoma town to Nakuru town and later came to dwell with us around Kitale town, at Bidii location. Actually, I was brought up by a single parent, mother. We had nothing to survive upon to our living, except making alcohol. This was the environment which I was used to. Though my mother was a Catholic, she didn't stop making making alcohol, because it was the only way we could survive in making a living. We stayed in situation for long period of time without a change. I developed bad behaviors, smoking bang, drinking alcohol, fighting, and stealing. It was when my colleagues had been caught and sentenced in prison, I only told God, "If God you will turn around my case, and deliver me out of the chain, then I will not backslide, I will serve you for ever." I was the one remaining, the thief to face the jail. But God heard my prayer, He changed every situation and my name was not mentioned among the thieves. I decided to fulfill as my vow had been with God. I joined Glory church in our village, which was the only Pentecostal church in our village. This was the turning point to my salvation. My calling in Christ Jesus Life in Jesus is wonderful and marvelous. Unlike the secular life, living in Christ is very secure. Before I received Jesus, I had many friends who misled me and directed me against the will of God. However, when I received Jesus, I have experienced many changes both spiritually and physically. I am now serving God and expecting the return of Jesus—when He will come to gather His elects. Having faith in Him, am determined in living with Him in the heavenly realm. Initially, when I was still a sinner, I did many things contrary to the will of God. Although I was a teenager, I joined myself to an immoral peer group; thus, we sinned against God. Because of destitute, theft was one of our evil sources of earning a living. As a recruited thief, I learned how to spy out possible homes for preparation of theft. After spying a home in return, the robbery would be an extension core. Even if theft was the easiest way of bread winning, I was taking great risks and endangering my own life. Some of my friends were caught stealing and were sentenced for life imprisonment. This caused me to switch to a different way of living. Alcohol selling and opium smoking, caused a divorce between my parents. When I was two years old, we started to live with a single parent; this formed a grudge in my heart towards my father, I hated him. This was until the first of January 1995, the time I received Jesus. When I received Jesus, my life changed greatly. Formerly, I did not know how to pray appropriately. When I was a Catholic, we had booklets to read, the prayers were had been written on a booklet. I experienced changes when my pastor taught me the new dimension of prayer; unlike directing my prayer through a guru. Through the real prayer, I received many miracles including the healing of my nose, I had severe nose bleeding; this had troubled me for a long time. Moreover, God opened a way for our daily bread; the blessings started coming as pressed non calling the name of the Lord. Actually, when I received Jesus, my salvation affected the whole family- my mother ceased from making alcohol. We started Small-scale farming, until we bought our own land, this was really a divine favor. God blessed the work of our hands, and poverty disappeared. The extension of our blessings was a reconciliation between my father and I, was the astonishing one; it was as if we had started a new life on earth. He forgave me and prayed for me as well. Ministry Immidiately, when my father prayed for me I started speaking in tongues and started prophecying. Six months later, my pastor asked me if I would stand in the gap as a Sunday school teacher. I did not hesitate; it took me a two years time as a Sunday school teacher. Then he appointed me to be a youth leader. After serving as a youth leader for several months, he again urged me to join evangelism team, I really enjoyed it from the year 1998 to 2004. In the village I grew up, many people were amazed of the deeds God did in my life. Through my testimonies many people received Jesus and flocked in the Church which I attended; until to date am a spiritual parent to some of my villagers. Surely, I was delighted in the field of evangelism; I never knew that I will become a pastor. Many Spirit filled servants of God were sent to me, informing me that I will be a Pastor, the Spirit of God insisted through many ministers even through revelations, in conjunction with other servants of God, I accepted to be. As a pastor, I trusted God for the provision of the entire of my needs. I started a church a lone under a tree, it was not a mere subject of victory; but God empowered me with His anointing to prevail in the core. Since then many people have received Jesus and baptized in water (Immersed in water). I have planted more than twelve churches and caring twenty Pastors. Ultimately, the Lord Jesus is the greatest king. Only because Jesus took our place on the cross and died for our sins we are saved. The wonderful deeds Jesus did for me; I glorify His name forever. As a witness of the heavenly kingdom, I have seen God working in my life. Even lunatics and the sick people do receive their miracles. By laying hands on the converts, they receive the gifts of the Holy Ghost; this is the customary event in the church. In all, I do testify to the one and only living God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Education I have been troubled in Education achievement right from primary school, due to divorce of my parents in the year 1980. I was brought up by a single parent, my mother Rose, she passed away in the year 2015. However, poverty was the key obstacles to my Education. My mother did not afford to pay my primary school fees, so I dropedout while in standard seven, 1993. I spent the whole of 1993 out of school drinking and selling bang as my mother had instructed me because my mum was an alcohol maker. In the year 1994, God stired up the spirit of a person who owned a primary school, who accepted me in his house the whole of 1994 for me to complete my primary level Education. I successfully got 525 marks out of 700 marks and was among the top ten in the county of Trans-nzoia. But because of corruption in our country no one considered. I went straight away to my father to alert him of my performance but he did not take a step. Then I had a bad decision in my minds which was to throw myself in the river called Sabwani. Fortunately, “I heard a smooth voice whispering to me politely, “It is good to serve God rather than to die” From that time I started reading Gideon book holding New Testament books. Then I received Jesus on 1 first, January 1995. So I forgot about Education. To make it more worse my father died in the year 2002. But I thank God he died while in Christ. However, I joined Bible College online in Nations University in 2010.I restrained due to lack of a high school diploma. I joined Anointed Learning institute in the year 2011which was a bit cheaper and completed 2012, I am holding masters in theology.The year 2012, I pursued my diploma with World English Institute. In the year 2014 I joined Life school International and completed a diploma course, about ministry work. Aiming high school level, I decided to register as a private candidate in 2013 to revise my primary level Education. I passed well and was the first adult student with highest points. I pressed on in my studies of high school level. However, in the year 2017 I registered as a private candidate and passed well with the mean grade of C+ and eventually accepted in Nations University of which I am studying Degree in Theology. My target is to become a lecturer in one of the universities; to be a writer of Christian books. I am learning to keep myself approved and challenge every discipline in my life with the Word of God. Moreover, I am learning to be acquainted with all communication devices and media so that to pass the word of God to all nations. Hope House Foundation Kenya I am the Director and founder of this Kenyan registered non profit organization. From the year 2015 when we registered it. It deals with general humanitarian aid. We help orphans, widows, street children and the poor. Many people have been blessed through it, Education to the children, given tailor machines to widows, given goats and sheep to poor people to start their domestic projects. Distribution of food and clothing to the people who live on slums. The office is located at Endebes Duka moja church.

Hope's House Kenya Children's home When the school are open they learn from our school, they join other orphans, who have single parent, and meet the street children in the school as well. When the school is closed for holidays, they come back to their home. This is because both parents died. However, some of them refuse to visit their relatives. We started this in the year 2018 we gave admissions of the total orphans below ten years, the 14 orphans are grown up five of them are joining high schools.
