The Man Behind The Legacy

A life devoted to faith, people and community.

Apostle Chrispinus Mwenesi Matekwa was the founding Bishop of the Pentecostal Christian Fellowship Churches of Kenya. After branching off from Crisco, he began a journey that would grow into a nationwide ministry.

He was well travelled and a biblical scholar with ties to the East Africa School of Theology, where he studied Theology. He travelled annually to the United States for conferences and missions where he taught the Word.

Apostle Mwenesi was passionate about his community. He continuously organised medical camps in his home village, including eye clinics, anti-jiggers campaigns, general health and nutrition initiatives.

He also supported school libraries through books and learning materials and assisted students seeking higher education through scholarships and accommodation.

Beyond ministry and philanthropy, he served as a community leader through Muhali Union, where he was Chairman. He initiated community empowerment projects and continuously engaged the community through public forums.

He was also a founding member of the Faraja Cancer Support Centre at MP Shah Hospital, where he led a team of medics, counsellors and patients in group therapy sessions.

“He is remembered as a wise charismatic preacher, a strict father and a loving leader.”
Personal Background

Roots in Shikokho

Apostle Mwenesi was born in Shikokho Village, Ikolomani Constituency, Kakamega County, where he completed his primary education. He later established the Pentecostal Christian Fellowship ministry in 1991 and grew it across different regions of Kenya.

He was married to the late Joyce Mwenesi and was blessed with two children, Nelly and Haggai.

He went to be with the Lord in 2018 after a long battle with prostate cancer.
