My participation in the National Prayer Breakfasts has been from 2006 when I was a student leader at Kenyatta University. The first time I attended one at Safari Park Hotel, the then President Mwai Kibaki was represented by his Vice President Hon. Moody Awori. Since then I have attended all the National Prayer Breakfasts except one. I have also attended other National Prayer Breakfasts across the globe in countries such as the US and Rwanda.

Even though the National Prayer Breakfast happens only once in a year, the myriad leadership groups that emanate from it have had a lot of impact on its members. One of this is Bunge Fellowship Group that I attend religiously every Wednesday morning. For that reason, the national prayer breakfast and in extension the Bunge prayer breakfast have become an anchor and a pillar to my leadership and faith.

I have participated quite regularly in the Africa Youth Leadership Forum (AYLF)’s activities. From time to time I have taken part in AYLF programs, workshops, seminars, and mentorship sessions. A number of times, I have hosted the youth in my home and jointly had a good time. Those times we have had very good mentorship sessions where I got to learn from them and felt challenged through our interactions. I love the fact that they are having an impact on other young people.

My sincere prayer for Kenya is that we get out of this hole that we are currently in. That God helps us to have a revival in leadership and governance – displaying accountability and integrity. That we attain food security and revive our economy. That young people can bounce back into employment and those in small businesses get to reap from their works of labor.
