In January of 2004 God led the Evangelical Lutheran Bible School (ELBF) into Missions. It all began with a request to the Evangelical Lutheran Bible School on December 26, 2003. Rev. Mundiah director of Glory of Christ Ministry (GCM) had become aware of the Evangelical Lutheran Bible School through our ELBF monthly publication, the "Revival Tidings." He wrote and expressed his desire to send a deacon from his church to attend our Bible School if we would help pay the students airfare, lodging and tuition fees. We did not have the funds to do this so we suggested the possibility of offering Bible studies via the Internet. If he was interested, we would develop a Long Distance Learning Bible Program for Glory of Christ Ministry. Ps. Mundiah jumped at the opportunity and we began developing Internet Bible studies. As our relationship began to grow, we were made aware of the many needs of GCM. They were a small organization ministering to the poor people of Central Western Kenya in the Kitale/Liyavo/El Dorett area. God impressed upon our hearts that we being chosen to help GCM. This in brief was the beginning of the Evangelical Lutheran Bible Fellowship Foreign Missions Department. The ELBF began raising small amounts of money to assist GCM. They had three congregations at that time and rented 5 acres of land to help support their ministry. In January of 2004 they had no equipment other than a worn out generator, keyboard, small amplifier, and loudspeaker.

Glory of Christ Ministry as grown significantly since that time.

    - GCM now has a twenty growing congregations with 5400 registered members and average of 3500
      attending Sunday morning worship services.
    - Two new Christian Schools have been built this year, one at the Liyavo church and one at the Kakichuma
    - church. These are brick built permanent buildings.
    - A polytechnic (Sewing School) has been built in Kakichuma.
    - In 2007 a new permanent headquarters’ office, that includes a director's home with guest rooms, and a GCM
      library has been built.
    - In 2007 a large home on the headquarters’ property was completed refurbished inside and out to
      Accommodate
      50 orphans. It is called the GCM Children's Home.
    - Two large brick built churches were finished that hold 400 - 500 each by African standards.
    - A new brick built church was constructed at Moroki after the old mud church was washed away by the rains.
    - GCM now rents 85 acres of land on which Maize is planted.
    - They now have a tractor, plow, tiller, large heavy duty wagon, and weed sprayers to work the land.
    - They have a car and pickup truck to facilitate their travels and transporting of equipment and people.

Virtually all the money to purchase the above items came from contributors in the U.S.A. The tractor and related equipment, animal projects, schools, and truck are being used to earn money for the GCM Ministries in addition to being used for their own organization. Their goal is to become self-sufficient by 2009 with the exception of the Children's Home that will need support for some time to come.

Glory of Christ Ministry is a conservative Lutheran organization, rooted in the teachings of Lutheran Pietism. They are a branch of the Evangelical Lutheran Bible Fellowship and in full agreement with our theology and Lutheran Doctrine. They have adopted our Statement of Faith and believe in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They have a reputation of being an organization that preaches the truth from God's Word. More and more people want to form congregations under the GCM banner because of their conservative Biblical stand.

How did this all come about in such a short time? God blesses those who are faithful to Him. He has blessed the ELBF and Glory of Christ Ministries with contributors who truly care about lost souls.
