Come hear about the incredible story of Christ Church’s own Gordon Okumu—what it was like growing up as an orphan in the Nairobi slums, studying to become a Jesuit priest, entering national politics, and finally, coming to the United States to seek political asylum. You’ll be inspired and encouraged by his unshakable faith and resilience throughout life’s twists and turns. We’ll touch on some of the cultural, religious, and linguistic details mentioned in the book, so bring all your questions and comments!
