GBF Ministries Background
Gospel Believers Fellowship Ministry was started through much Prayer with fasting and Evangelism the year 1972.Through the same, the Church was established at Commonwealth primary School, the Current Moi Primary School in Bungoma town. This is after a Prophecy was given through God’s Servants over Pastor Bushebi. With the then Pastor, Founder and Director Francis and Dora Bushebi, the Church was amongst the first Pentecostal Churches in Tough ‘Musambwa’ Region The Missionaries and other Pastors had warned Bushebi that he will not succeed with the Gospel in Bungoma, keeping in Mind that Bungoma, Bukusu Tribe fought the White Man so much and did not let him in the Community. With MUCH, Prayers and Fasting, God started working Miracles, Wonders, Signs, Healings and Deliverance.
Being Born in 1943, got Saved in 1964, Bushebi and Sister Dora Started a Church at Mukhweya Village in 1968 (Mukhweya GBF). In the Year 1972, Francis and Dora shifted from Mukhweya Village at the Border of Bungoma and Mumias, Kakamega this after working in Maasai, Taranganya, Nyang’ori Mission, Education Institutions as an Evangelist, fully Trained at Kaimosi Bible College was given a nickname of ‘Father Abraham’ due to his Faith. Being charged and ready for the Gospel, a ‘tough’ Man of God, a Soldier with a high Holy Calling, Brother Bushebi penetrated the ‘Dark’ Clouds of Bungoma to establish a Pentecostal Movement in Bungoma that was later registered as Church Society in 1978 with the name Gospel Believers Fellowship. The Holy Spirit caused ‘Dini ya Musambwa’ ocult religion to start fading away and setting the People of Bungoma Free in Christ Jesus. In Spreading the Gospel of Salvation of Jesus Christ, many more joined the Flock and some became workers of the Kingdom with him.
With consistent Sacrifice, Hard Work, Much Prayers, diligently seeking the Lord and Following the Lead of the Holy Spirit, GBF Ministry started spreading into the Interior Poor inaccessible rural areas with new churches being established. This brought the Complete Gospel of Salvation with redemption through the Blood of Jesus Christ combating the tough evil Traditions, Cultures, Customs, Curses and Familiar spirits that had bound our People.
Intercession by Sister Dora, Bushebi’s Wife and other Ministers, allowed the overtime job of ‘Personal work (Visitations) to be done, even through the so called ‘Keshas’, Seminars, Conferences, Open Air Crusades winning Souls to the Lord. GBF Church Branches extended to Malinda, Nasianda, Bwake, and then to Kakamega and Busia Counties. Currently, GBF ministry is spread in East Africa aiming to reach the utmost part of the World.
Gospel Believers Fellowship is a locally run and established Ministry to bring out to people a true way of eternal life through Jesus Christ, the Son of God who came into the World born of the Virgin Mary, we saw His work as Son, died on the cross, and was risen by our Heavenly Father on the third day, ascended and is seated on the right hand of the Father, Lord God Almighty in Heaven.
The first vision was to reach the unreached with the simple Gospel of Salvation. Our head church and Head Quarters is in Bungoma Town, Next to Post Office, Moi Avenue.
