About Me

MY STORY
I, Pastor Archangelo Gitonga, am married and blessed with two kids of ages 21 a boy and 14 a girl who is currently schooling at mtwapa north secondary school . I graduated with a bachelors degree in Ministerial Theology in 2009 through the Heavenly Light Christian College, Kenya based in United States of America. I am the senior pastor and founder of The Sanctified Ministries, Mtwapa and I am running a theological college, Institute of Theological Studies (ITHEOS) offering certificate and diploma courses at affordable rates to pastors and church leaders who have not had formal training in ministry. The first class of ten students is in the fourth out of five semesters. I use training materials from Pamoja Ministries located at Arusha, Tanzania. There are five (5) pastors and five (5) church leaders in the class now. Every Sunday after worship we request members to donate for the needy around mtwapa an exercise I enjoy.

My Business

MY BUSINESS
I ran a college for training pastors and church leaders. We have been in the programme for two years,
A total of 10 students are set to graduate early April through the supervision of pamoja ministries in arusha, Tanzania.
The rates for one semester (about four months) per student are fifty seven (57) dollars as shown below:
Training materials 15 dollars, Rent and lighting 10 dollars, Exams, Printing and Stationery 4 dollars, Transport and Communication 5 dollars, Office and Facilitation costs 10 dollars, Balance (Personal earnings) 13 dollars. This finally gives me about 32.5 dollars per month which I use for my needs and shall repay the loan advanced to me with at at least 3 dollars weekly till I pay back the full loan.

I thank God for Zidisha because it shall in a big way boost me and the community around me represented by the church membership and the pastors benefitting from the theological college all housed in one rented building. I have plans of my second intake in April 2015. I am targeting about 20 students this time. My request to Zidisha is to approve my application of a fifty (50) dollar loan to boost my abilities and help me serve the community I love serving. Once more thank you and God bless Zidisha.

    Hello Zidisha and all my lenders, I request for a further reduction of my weekly repayment amount because I and my family have been affected by a sickness that has pushed me down financially for some three weeks. Thanks for the consideration. I am willing to start my repayments again this week. God bless you.

    Hi all my lenders,
    I am really excited to meet this morning here in Kenya my loan fully funded. My immediate plan is to organize to buy the projector I need so anxiously for the purpose of the ministry and the school of ministry. It will lift the ministry, that is the church in a very short while. I will use it for teachings in the church and the school of ministry. Thank you very much all my lenders and the whole of the Zidisha team for advancing me further and further in doing what pleases God.
    Once more thank you very much. God bless you all.

    Hello Zidisha and all the lenders,
    I am happy to say that the amounts already received have made the School of Ministry better.
    Already 7 more pastors and 2 church leaders are willing to join the college. They are promising to join as soon as we start the new recruitment.
    Thanks to the Zidisha loans and the willingness of the lenders to improve the lives of the communities.
    God bless you all.

    Hello Zidisha and the Lenders,
    I am once more thanking you for the process of funding that already begun. I am anxiously awaiting a day when the Institute of Theological Studies offering The International Curriculum and the whole The Sanctified Ministries shall be able to use the projector.
    God bless you for making this blessing be a reality to the community I serve as a pastor.

    Hello Zidisha and all the lenders,
    Mine this day is to wish you a happy Easter season for your commitment in serving the community that cannot be attended to by the rest of the community owing to it that this group has nothing to offer in return.
    More so because the common man's mind is centered at creating profits from their monies and this folk cannot pay interest conveniently. This is the team you have opted to serve. God bless you for this effort.

    Hi Zidisha and my lenders.
    I am pleased to accept that I am one of the great beneficiaries of the Zidisha program.
    I have the students already using the materials and the computer I have bought now is making my work easier by far. I am making the records required by the headquarters of the school of ministry and I am able to access information required easily. Communication now is easier and faster. I am able to record the results as they come forth for the purpose of delivery on daily basis.
    Thanks to Zidisha and all the lenders who are like a closely knit family with a goal of lifting the lives of people everywhere.
    God bless you so much.

    Thanks to Zidisha team and all the lenders who have empowered me to reach this far. I had truly got almost stuck because of some late school of ministry student payments. Now they are progressing well with those who had difficulties of paying doing so gradually. Thanks to Zidisha again because now I am even planning another class. God bless Zidisha team and all the lenders who have accepted to organize themselves to this effect.
