My Name is Naboth Naabo Khalawkhale a sinner saved by the Grace of God through faith in Christ alone. I come from Marsabit county a Rendille by tribe. I studied at Kenya Methodist University where I pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in Education Arts majoring in English and Literature.
Having a long-standing passion to serve the Lord in my youth, and reflecting on my cultural background in relation to the gospel, I felt a strong calling to join the ministry. In God’s perfect timing, I came across iServe Africa and joined the Apprentice Program in September 2024.

- Facilitating PPI (Pastoral Program Instructions) every Friday.
- Conducting Bible study sessions with teachers every Wednesday.
- Leading youth and teen Bible studies every Saturday at church.
Lessons from the apprenticeship at iServe Africa
Thus far, the Lord has been gracious, and I am deeply grateful for iServe Africa. Through both the online and physical MTCs, I am constantly reminded of my shortcomings as a person and the truth that only through faith in Jesus Christ for salvation and forgiveness can I find a lasting solution.
I have been learning the art of preaching the gospel with intentionality, both in and out of season, driven by the love of Christ and a heart of servanthood toward all people. Interestingly, much of what I expected to give has turned into an experience of receiving—I find myself being impacted far more than I had anticipated. Each day is a new opportunity to learn and grow.
The Lord has been at work in my heart, teaching me that no amount of good works can lead to salvation—it is only by grace alone, through faith in Christ alone, as revealed in the Scriptures alone.
I vividly remember the moment this truth struck me. During my Baptism classes, my pastor asked a deeply troubling question: “Have I accepted Christ as my Savior?” That question unsettled me for an entire week. It was then that I realized that simply being a “good boy” in church or diligently serving did not equate to salvation. Today, I understand that good works alone can only make me a religious, careful sinner—not a saved one.
