Pastor Nyachoti

David's entry into formal ministry came when he met Bishop Oboka in 2004, a year before MCC was officially founded. He was immediately captured by the bishop's vision for a church that would plant churches across Kenya. He joined MCC Kisii as one of the founding members in 2005 and served in various capacities including head of evangelism, home cell coordinator, and lay preacher.

Recognising David's intimate knowledge of Marani community and his gifts for pastoral work, Bishop Oboka commissioned him to lead the MCC Marani church plant in 2011. David enrolled in a theological correspondence programme through Harvest Bible College while simultaneously pioneering the new congregation.

The early years in Marani were challenging — a small rented space, limited resources, and the need to build trust within a community that had its own established church network. But Pastor David's authentic relationships, patient presence, and genuine love for people slowly built a community of believers that grew steadily year over year.
