About Peterson

My name is Peterson Barake Morara, the second-born in a family of three, with my sister Faith as the firstborn and Daniel as the youngest. Growing up, my mum always took us to church, rain or shine, and despite a few attempts to skip church, I can say our parents raised us well. However, even though I attended church from Sunday school through my teenage years, I never had a personal relationship with God; I was just going through the motions.

One day, during a sermon on God's love, the pastor invited anyone who wanted to become a child of God to come forward. I felt a strong conviction but was afraid of what people would think since I had been in church for so long without truly knowing God. I resisted and stayed the same.

A week later, the pastor introduced membership classes, and I decided to fill out the form. When I reached the question, "Are you born again?" the conviction grew stronger, but fear held me back. I returned the form with that question unanswered, and my pastor noticed. He took the time to explain the gospel to me in his office, and that’s when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

In high school, I embraced my identity as a child of God and felt called to share the gospel with my peers. Though I sometimes tried to avoid that calling, God kept bringing me back. As a leader in the Christian Union and as a class representative, I noticed that young leaders in school struggled because they lacked mentorship. That’s when I realized I needed to return to high schools to walk alongside those leaders.

2 Timothy 2:2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
