Biography

Early Years

Jackson is a native of the nation of Kenya and is proud of his tribal heritage which shaped and molded his early childhood. Diligence and hard work are two elements that were instilled in him as he tended after goats and cows in the open jungles of Africa. As a young boy, he fetched firewood and water for the family. All these activities required long days and many miles away from home.

School

Unlike many boys in his village, Jackson sought and received some basic education at a missionary school. In his village 60% of the children would only have an elementary education. The cost of Higher education or college was too burdensome for an already impoverished community. Beating the odds, Jackson became the first child in his family to attend high school. It was a financial giant too big and dangerous for the family. He worked during the holidays to subsidize his tuition. Dowry from three of his older sisters also helped to pay most of the cost of his education. At graduation his results were held due to a large tuition debt. The next two years were spent in agony and insurmountable anxiety as worked to raise enough money to pay up and get his Diploma.

Faith

It was this painful struggle that birthed a desire in him to rise above tribal and community expectations. He accepted Christ as his personal savior through the witness of a stranger who would later become a God sent mentor. In the first year of his new found faith, Jackson began to experience unique visitations from God. Miracles and extraordinary signs began to unfold as he taught and ministered in the villages. The villagers ascribed the title "mutungatiri" (Servant of God) to him before he ever sought recognition through organized Church.

Benson Idahosa

A few years short of his twentieth birthday, an opportunity to seat under the Ministry of the late Arch-Bishop Benson Idahosa became available. He left home for Benin City in Nigeria where he served and received ministry impartation from this great prophet and Apostle of our time. While in Nigeria, Jackson completed a two year Associates of Arts Degree in Bible. He returned to his home in Kenya where he served for several years as the Kenya representative for Idahosa World Outreach.

Marriage

Yes! It is a match made in heaven. Jackson met Liz at a youth Camp in Kenya. They enjoyed each others company and traveled together on mission trips in the company of other young adults. Five years later, it became clear to Jackson that they were meant to share the rest of their lives together. However, Liz had to get her own confirmation from God, this took another two years. In 1991, Jackson and Liz entered into the covenant of a lifetime. They have since been blessed with two boys Maina (12) and Kaburu (9).
