Did you know that one word from God can change your entire life? When God sent Abraham into a foreign land it was all by a word and through obedience, he contacted his destiny as a father of faith. Born and raised in Kenya, Pastor Phinehas Kinuthia is no stranger to such instruction from God. 10 Years ago, he received a mandate from God to move to the United States as a missionary. He left his family and his country to come to the U.S. not in search of a better life only, but to share the love of God with America; a country that has done so much to spread the gospel in Africa.
We caught up with Pastor Phinehas who believes that men are treasures hidden in ordinariness, but only valuable when discovered. It is through this quest that he has launched a 
platform to discover and awaken greatness in believers at Global Enlightenment Center, (GEC). According to Pastor Phinehas, GEC was birthed on May 30, 2010 with a vision of “Raising a new breed of believers that will transform our generation.”The mission here as he said is kingdom oriented with a goal to ignite passion for self-discovery, through a renewed relationship with God. So each one of us will discover and live a life of purpose through the wisdom of God. We believe in a practical gospel that appeals to the spiritual, psychological, social and human needs.
Today, GEC is reaching the Katy, TX community with various projects. Such most recent projects include a Back-to-School Block Party, with donations for school supplies to hundreds of kids and also teachers’ supplies. GEC has also adopted a local Tier 1 elementary school where they are engaged in mentorship and volunteer services. GEC is also partnering with other local organizations to meet the social needs of the community and other justice programs. GEC, being Global oriented, has worldwide impact by supporting missions, church plant organizations, Bible schools and orphanages in Kenya and South Africa.
Looking to be a small part of a big thing? GEC is looking for Kingdom minded, God loving, purpose oriented people that want to make a difference through serving God. There are several effective places to plug, connect and serve. Maybe it’s working with children at their renowned Transformers or New Breed Children’s Ministry, or maybe it’s through their young adults program “The Lounge” or The Women’s Connect Group. Those with a heart and gift for music, can also connect through the “Hazardous Praise or Night of Worship” occasionally hosted by Local Christian Radio DJ’s of Praise 92.1FM.
Regardless of your education, race or social-economical background there is a place for everyone at GEC. Do not go through life one more day uncertain about what on earth you are here for? Or what God’s will and plan for your life is? Be a part of this great movement where no followers are made but leaders are born. Visit GEC gathering on Sundays at 10:30 am or Fridays at 7pm at 1718 Fry Rd. Suite 260, Houston, TX 77084 for interactive question and answer discourse geared towards self development and personal growth.
