I am Pastor Silas Isaac Owino Akongo, serving with Amazing Grace Ministry in Siaya County, Kenya. Together with my wife, Carolyne Lavender, and our two children, Joy and Promise, we have dedicated the past 20 years to faithfully laboring in the Lord’s vineyard.

The community surrounding our church faces extreme poverty, making daily life difficult and discouraging for many. Sadly, children are the most deeply impacted by these hardships.

Amazing Grace Children Ministry was born as a timely and compassionate response—a beacon of hope for the children of Siaya. Our desire is to provide spiritual guidance, emotional support, and practical help to the young ones who need it most.

I continue to lift in prayer the men and women whom God will move and equip to help transform the lives of the children in Siaya. May the Lord bless every heart that chooses to stand with us in this mission.
