James fondly recalls attending church with his mum and brother as a child, but it was not until high school that he made a personal commitment and gave his life to Christ. Since then, he has experienced God’s transformative power, recognizing that he is a sinner saved by grace, redeemed not through his own efforts but by God’s grace through Jesus Christ.
After their wedding in 2018, James and his wife, Nyambura, began searching for a church closer to home. By God’s providence, they visited Emmanuel Baptist Church, where they instantly felt a sense of belonging thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere, along with the faithful preaching of God’s Word. It was there that he was baptized and later blessed to be involved in planting North Point Baptist Church. He has been part of the North Point Baptist Church family since it first opened its doors, and he truly feels privileged to serve as the deacon for children. His desire is that our kids be nurtured with a solid and well-grounded spiritual foundation.
Off duty, when not spending time with his lovely wife and their two wonderful children, you’ll probably find him tackling a DIY project, tinkering with something that needs fixing, or savouring a well-brewed cup of coffee while connecting with others.
With a background in finance, his professional experience is eclectic, mainly centred on technology-enabled startups and, more recently, social impact initiatives.
