God's Faithfulness

From a Prayer Room to a Movement

Every chapter of our story is a testimony of God's grace — from twelve people praying in Kibomet to a growing community impacting Kitale and beyond.

A Prayer in a Living Room

East Gate Chapel began as a mid-week prayer meeting led by a small, hungry group of believers in Kibomet, Kitale. Twelve people gathered, hungry for God, and the Holy Spirit fell powerfully. That small flame would ignite a fire that would never go out.

Through the Storm
