About Peterson
My name is Peterson Barake Morara, the second-born in a family of three, with my sister Faith as the eldest and my brother Daniel as the youngest. From a young age, my mum ensured we attended church faithfully, rain or shine. While I grew up active in Sunday school and church, I didn’t have a personal relationship with God—I was simply going through the motions.

One Sunday, 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 deep conviction, but fear of what others might think held me back. A week later, when filling out a church membership form, I came to the question, “Are you born again?”—and again, conviction gripped me. I left the question unanswered. My pastor noticed and graciously invited me to his office, where he clearly shared the gospel with me. That day, I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior.

In high school, I embraced my new identity in Christ and sensed God calling me to share the gospel with my peers. I served as a leader in the Christian Union and as a class representative. Along the way, I realized many young leaders struggled because they lacked mentorship. This stirred in me a burden to go back into high schools—not only to share the gospel but also to walk alongside and mentor young leaders.

Today, I am grateful to serve Christ through Word of Life Kenya, where I combine camp ministry, school outreach, and local church service—all with the desire to see lives transformed by the gospel and young leaders equipped for God’s work.

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.
