If Oscar Muriu Wrote a Book
Matthew Eckert
Bishop Oscar Muriu has led Nairobi Chapel in Kenya for 35+ years. During that time, the small church of 10 elderly people has grown to more than 4,000 at the original site as well as planting 280+ churches in Kenya, around Africa and in more than a dozen cities around the world. 5 years ago he stepped away from leading the main site to become the Bishop and oversee the entire movement in a more focused way. This podcast looks at the 8 areas he has chosen to lean into for the sake of Nairobi Chapel, to solidify its future. In it, he reflects on the "Eight Secures" that he is working on.
