joseph_okelloThe Kenya Christian Fellowship in America (KCFA) elected Dr. Joseph Okello as National President this summer. Dr. Okello is the visiting associate professor of philosophy of Christian religion at Asbury Seminary. The inauguration ceremony will be held this month in New Jersey.

KCFA was founded by Dr. Joe Karogi in 1991 to proclaim Christ to all and to enhance Christian fellowship within the Kenyan community in North America.

“The vision to launch this vital ministry truly emanated from God, who has blessed its growth from a humble beginning where twenty-two adults and ten children attended the first annual conference in 1991, to between seven hundred and a thousand people attending the annual conference,”

Dr. Karogi said on the KCFA website. Dr. Okello received a Th.B. from Scott Theological College (Kenya), 1994; a M.Div. (1999) and M.A. in church music (2000) at Asbury Seminary; and a M.A. (2004) and Ph.D. (2007) in philosophy at the University of Kentucky. While a student at Asbury Seminary, he earned the Frank Bateman Stanger award for excellence in preaching and the Philosophy and Christian Apologetics Award. Dr. Okello has served as a pastor and choral director at Africa Inland Church. He has published several articles and books, including Heaven: God’s Solution to Human Pain.
