Aggrey Ochieng is an IT director in Kenya who has turned his marketplace position, farm, and community networks into platforms for Gospel witness. Through sports tournaments, youth programs, and community gatherings, he’s seen hundreds respond to Christ. The catalyst? The Haggai Leader Experience, which equipped him to multiply Gospel impact across every sphere of his life.

Before attending the Haggai Leader Experience, Aggrey had passion and opportunity but lacked cohesion. 

“I have been transformed spiritually and given purpose, equipping me to effectively evangelize and engage with cultural diversity.“

The HLE gave him more than motivation. It gave him a model for how to steward his unique influence at the intersection of marketplace, agriculture, and Gospel witness. He gained clarity on his calling and a framework for engaging across Kenya’s cultural differences, especially in communities where skepticism of the Gospel runs deep.

More importantly, the HLE connected him to a global peer community of leaders facing similar challenges. In an isolated moment, Aggrey might have seen his marketplace role as separate from his Gospel calling. The HLE reframed that entirely: his network security expertise, his business credibility, his community relationships, his farm, his sports connections, and his family all become platforms for holistic witness.

In August, he organized a Daily Vacation Bible School where over 100 young people between ages 10 and 13 gave their lives to Christ. That same season, he convened motorcycle riders from his village for a training and fellowship weekend, sharing the Gospel directly in that cultural space. Ten riders decided to follow Christ.

The impact accelerated in October, when Aggrey organized the Goals for Christ football tournament at Utawala Kibiku grounds. As a leader in Kenya’s marketplace, Aggrey recognized that sports creates an opening for the Gospel that traditional ministry sometimes misses. That one event saw 77 people make public professions of faith.

Yet his witness extends beyond event-driven ministry. Aggrey shapes Gospel influence through family fellowship, strategic generosity toward students facing educational barriers, and the quiet testimony of how he leads his business. His agricultural enterprise is not simply a commercial operation; it is a platform for dignifying work and income stability among community members who earn their living from the farm’s output.

Aggrey is discovering that equipping others multiplies impact, and illustrates in real time the power of the Haggai model. The riders he trained, the youth at DVBS, the football tournament attendees, the families he supports through his farm—each one is becoming a voice for Christ.
