Hello, my name is Martin Kariuki. I was born and raised in Kenya, near the capital, Nairobi.
During my third year of studying law at university, I heard God calling me into ministry. After I completed my law degree, I served in two churches in Kenya as a pastoral intern and trainee, and worked in Experiential Christian camps and learning institutes. In 2014 I moved to New Zealand to take up the role of youth pastor at St Augustine’s Anglican Church. I had an amazing five years there, leaving only to follow that initial call. Since moving to Christchurch I have completed a post-Graduate Diploma in Theology from Laidlaw College, and married my wife Anna. My personal life vision is to inspire those around me to be the best they can, through real discipleship and relationship. I am passionate about creating leaders who are willing to disciple and be discipled as followers of Jesus while staying connected in community. I believe this is what the local church has been called to do.
