Welcome to a'Kihoro SPIRITUAL CREATIONS
Who is a'Kihoro?
Based in Baltimore and established in 1995, a'Kihoro SPIRITUAL CREATIONS is a Christian ministry committed to community, faith-based organizations, and individuals seeking quality service to enhance their image.
God's Plentiful Gifts…

The term a’kihoro is derived from the African language, Kiswahili word
a-kiroho, and translates to mean spiritual. Christian doctrine, faith and spirituality is the foundation of this Ministry.
 

God gives all of us special talents or “gifts” (Matt. 25:14-30), which when used for His glory become greater than we ever imagined. When by faith we multiply these talents and use the gifts to uplift and glorify His name, the Lord will bless us in even greater abundance. It is this “gift” from God that has become a’Kihoro SPIRITUAL CREATIONS.

New Ministry Focus
Want to Schedule an Event
for Your Group?

Readings, topics focusing on specific poems from Amani na Mapenzi: Love & Peace, and how they impact daily life is the goal of this ministry. We will gather in small groups at venues such as homes, meeting facilities, weekend getaways, and yes the church.

Poetry is used as tool to begin discussions on mental and physical abuse, African-American issues, biblical women, or to share individual thoughts.

This ministry will offer participants the opportunity to turn these discussions into viable written material such as articles, essays, poetry and books.

I (we) pray that faithful followers of Christ will step forward in faith to study what the Bible says about life issues.

Seminars are also being developed to assist new authors with publishing their work.

Announcing...

 


Amani na Mapenzi: Love & Peace, my first book speaks in a Spiritual voice to young adults, African Americans, abused women, and just plain folks. It is a collection of poems with a touch of "Mother Wit" that draw upon life, Agapé love, personal love and emotion--at times with a sense of humor--from adolescence to today.
