My interest is to explore how Africa can be developed (PhD in Development Communication). This I do by creating a learning environment that allow breaking up of the fallow ground in the hearts and minds leaving them yearning for purposive living. Understanding the influence of culture in communication and formation of the mindset is a basic area of interest.
In addition I write a Weekly Devotion, publish academic papers on Development, Transformation, Self-discovery, Christianity and media, Interpersonal communication among others. ï‚· To carry out the mission I founded a Non Government Organization- Lifestream Concerns whose mission child development and rescue, and a publication company- Taruma Vision Creators (TVC) that has published several books including Christian Professional, Secret of Contentment, Christianity and Culture.
I am a member of Executive Leaders Networking Team (ELNET), Lausanne Committee for world Evangelization. Embu Professionals, I am a polemist championing critical reflective thinking wherever there an opportunity. I speak in diverse gatherings including Christian Unions in the Universities and high schools, churches, and conferences.
