Reverend Teresia Wairimu:

“Always remember that your history will not determine how far you expand or how far you go in life.”

Reverend Teresia Wairimu is the President and Founder of Faith Evangelistic Ministries (FEM).  She is not only a nationally recognized speaker but also an international speaker reaching many nations both in Africa and the rest of the world.

Ev. Wairimu was called to the ministry, in 1985. Subsequently she founded Faith Evangelistic Ministries in 1989. The Ministry started as a women’s house fellowship with 16 women in attendance the first day. The word spread at a high rate that more and more people came and they had to look for increasingly bigger venues. In time the meetings ceased to be women’s meetings and became an inter-denominational meeting open to all and held once per month.

In her ministry Reverend Wairimu emphasizes intercessory prayers, healing and prophesy. Her mentor is Rev. Reinhardt Bonnke with whom she has shared a platform on many occasions. One of her clarion calls is for Christians to overcome their past so that they can be able to walk in the present towards their future.

She encourages women to press on and fulfil their calling despite many setbacks. She also entreats both men and women to avail themselves for the Master’s use. "If God can use me, He can use anybody", she has often said.

Apart from the monthly meetings, prayers are held daily and weekly in rented halls in Nairobi and other towns in Kenya. She also holds revival meetings, crusades and an international conference once a year. The ministry is also concerned with youth development and is geared to helping the misplaced, downtrodden and needy members of society in varied ways. In 2008 she was honoured with the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Award for her humanitarian efforts during the post-election violence as well as her vocal campaign among church leaders.
