Pastor Ezekiel Odero journey to fellowship has not been easy. He began his journey in Kisumu as a fisherman before relocating to Mombasa as a mason (mtu wa mjengo).
Before meeting Pastor Sarah, he began fellowship and was seeking partners in church. Pastor Sarah was a prayer warrior, and he went to seek assistance at her home in Mavueni. That is where they fall in love.
The couple began NewLife Church in Shanzu and later expand and moved to his wife’s home in Mavueni. The couple bought large tracts of land to expand further.
Background
Because Luo is the home of English, Pastor Ezekiel explains how hard it was to get Sarah because she did not fully attend the school system and was unable to speak English.
“Some of my family members informed me that Pastor Sarah didn’t go to school when I wanted to marry her. She is not fluent in English. What will the large people say if you marry her and they show up? When I looked at my wife, I didn’t see an English speaker but rather a lovely lady who can manage a ministry. ” He added, “English can’t run a ministry.”
I was then informed by her father that “I have given you my daughter and her sister,” but I told him that I just wanted Sarah.

Pastor Ezekiel admitted during one of the services that he used to be a fornicator who committed several sexual transgressions.
Ezekiel is equally as rigorous about how people should dress in his church as pastor Owuor. He is additionally stringent about women entering his offices since he feels that temptations could lead him to revert to his former habits.
