Bishop Peter Gatimu is the General Overseer of Apostolic Faith Church Kenya and Nairobi Region Overseer.
He experienced God’s calling as His Apostle in early 80’s and was ordained on 10th May 1985. He assisted many Pastors in establishing growing churches. Bishop Peter Gatimu has an Apostolic calling especially in powerful and effective Church planting work. He is endowed with powerful evangelism “force” with Apostolic auction and zeal for the Church of Christ.
Since 1986, he has established Nairobi Region of Apostolic Faith Church, where he is the Regional Overseer. The Region has 24 branches. He also established Bahati Assembly in Nairobi (near the City Center) with about 2,000 members and powerful vision in church planting. Bishop Gatimu has also reached out to other parts of Kenya and beyond the country boarders (raising Pastors and planting Churches)
At Bahati, he is currently leading the Church in construction of a Multi-storey Church Complex coupled with a vision of a 10,000 seater Church, which will be a ‘springboard’ to “overtaking” cities and countries with Gospel impact. The Holy Spirit of the “3,000” on Pentecostal day (Acts 2) is real even now.
He is dreaming and planning to actualize Church growth in Apostolic Faith Church Kenya from 400 assemblies to 1,600 assemblies in the next TEN YEARS. The HOLY SPIRIT says “YES” to that!
