The Other Side of Amen is still a young ministry, but Bible teaching from the site is already reaching people in other parts of the world. This page has been created to share those stories and to let readers see how God's Word is being used in places far from our own community.
The first story comes from a fellowship in Itibo, Kenya, where believers are gathering to pray, worship, study Scripture, and encourage one another in Christ.
Mission story 01 · Kenya
Itibo Young Faith Christ Fellowship — Kenya
Itibo Young Faith Christ Fellowship began in 2019, when 13 adults and 7 children began meeting in a home for prayer and Bible reading. As the fellowship grew, one of the elders allowed the group to use his field, and they began gathering outdoors for worship and Bible teaching.
In 2026, the fellowship discovered teaching from Dean Butler through Facebook and The Other Side of Amen website. They began using the Bible teaching in their fellowship and expressed a desire to follow the same biblical beliefs presented in the website's Statement of Faith.
Job Mokua Ezekiel reports that the fellowship has continued to grow and now has 93 active adults and 27 children. He also reports that others are interested in joining as they hear the Bible teaching being shared.
The purpose of this relationship is biblical teaching, encouragement, prayer, fellowship, and helping people grow in the Word of God.
The Reality of Ministry There
The fellowship faces practical challenges. Many people walk long distances to visit homes and encourage others with the Gospel. Access to Bibles and ministry materials is limited, and transportation is difficult.
Reaching a cyber café to access Bible teaching from Facebook and The Other Side of Amen website can require considerable travel, and the cost of using a cyber café is difficult for them.
Many families in the fellowship live with poverty, including difficulty obtaining enough food, paying school expenses, and maintaining adequate housing. The fellowship currently worships outdoors under trees, and rain can sometimes cause services to end early.
Where We Are Right Now
The Other Side of Amen website and ministry are still young and currently have a relatively small but growing regular readership.
The Other Side of Amen does not currently have a mission fund and is not presently able to provide financial support to this fellowship or to individuals.
This ministry is doing what it can at present by providing Bible teaching, encouragement, prayer, Christian resources, and by sharing the fellowship's story with readers. No financial help has been promised.
Our Hope for the Future
As the website grows, our prayer is that God may use this mission page to help more people learn about the fellowship. We also pray that, in His time, He may open doors for additional resources, Bibles, helpful connections, or other forms of support.
This is a hope and a prayer, not a promise of what The Other Side of Amen will be able to provide. We depend upon God to guide the work and open the right doors.
