Meet Stephen Njenga, the Kenyan Pastor Kenyan Pastor who Runs 12 Companies in US

Seattle, a city in Washington State, is well known for being home to tech behemoths like Amazon and Boeing, an American multinational company.

A Kenyan pastor who appears to have realized the American dream lives in the state, which is believed to have 755,936 inhabitants.

Speaking on Chams Media, Archbishop Stephen Njenga described how he rose to prominence as a successful businessman in the state, managing a total of 12 businesses.

Njenga claims that his motivation to launch his own business came from a desire to establish a solid name and turn into a positive influence on society.

Njenga founded One Word International Ministries, which uses his business, One Word Digital Media, to spread the word online.

The media organization employs a group of roughly 15 presenters, and their primary responsibility is to spread the Good News over the globe. He also has a location in Phoenix, Arizona.

“We stream services via YouTube and Facebook. If you head on to our digital platforms, you will see our content there, besides that we also endeavour to tackle issues affecting the community,” he stated.

Njenga also heads Home Aide training centre- a company which trains health professionals who work in agencies, assisted living such as homes for the elderly and hospitals.

“We also have a another company- Quickink Notary services. The importance of this is to certify documents. I do every idea that comes into mind and I try to implement it.

“When you’re opening a bank, before you sign the pages, there are documents that needed to be signed by a notary public. His work entails witnessing, certifying and signing the documents in order to make them legal,” he detailed.

One of his latest projects is Living Independent Adult Family home- where he bought a house and was issued with a license to run a family home.

Njenga also runs African supermarket where he sells products imported from Kenya such as Unga, Cowboy, Blueband, Kunde, Managu.

Detailing how he arrived in United States, the Murang’a native pointed out that his journey was full of bumps along the way.

Njenga got a scholarship to go to Copenhagen Bible college in 2002. After studying for three years, he came back to Kenya in 2005 and taught for another four years before moving to Botswana.

Unfortunately, in Botswana, he did not get the job he was seeking, and had to raise funds in order to return back to the country.

Undeterred by the experience, he went back to Botswana and taught for five years before getting an opportunity to go to Mississipi.

“When I came into the US, I did my bachelor’s degree of arts in Biblical studies as well as my Doctorate degree in Philosophy from Dayspring Christian University in Mississipi. I was then posted in Arizona but requested to be posted to Washington state because of the environment which was more conducive,” he pointed out.

In the healthcare sector, Njenga had to undertake training in order to become a fully fledged tutor with the requisite qualifications. He revealed that he trained an average of 3,000 students in the healthcare industry.

The pastor also runs Quicklink Student exchange Program whereby he helps students in Kenya get a scholarship to study and work in the US.
