Brighton and Elizabeth are full-time missionaries with Fire and Fragrance Kenya, a missions movement devoted to knowing Jesus deeply and making Him known among the lost and unreached.
Brighton comes from the Oromo community and grew up in a Muslim background. After encountering Jesus and experiencing the transforming power of the gospel in his own life and family, his heart began to burn for Muslims and unreached communities to encounter Christ.
Elizabeth also carries a deep passion to see people experience the love, healing, and restoration of God. As a trained salonist, she desires to serve women in practical ways—creating spaces where they feel valued, loved, and cared for while sharing the love of Jesus with them. After completing her Discipleship Training School (DTS), she felt a strong calling from the Lord to serve alongside Brighton in reaching and discipling people with the gospel.
Their ministry focuses on relational evangelism, one-on-one discipleship, youth mentorship, community service, building genuine friendships, and teaching discipleship gatherings. Brighton also leads outreach teams to the northern parts of Kenya, including Garissa and Marsabit, traveling into interior and remote villages where the gospel is rarely heard. He is also actively involved in school ministry, reaching high school and junior school students, mentoring young people, and sharing the love of Christ with them.
Brighton also leads Discovery Bible Study (DBS) groups, discipling new believers in small groups and helping them grow in faith and obedience to God's Word. Elizabeth serves with the Discipleship Training School (DTS), helping train and walk alongside young believers as they grow in their relationship with Jesus, while also supporting and participating in the mission work alongside Brighton.
Together they carry a growing vision to serve in Mauritania, trusting God to open doors among unreached communities where the name of Jesus is rarely heard.
As they step into this new season of marriage and ministry, Brighton and Elizabeth are building a team of prayer and financial partners who will stand with them in this mission. They are currently trusting God to raise $900 USD per month to sustain their ministry and allow them to continue reaching remote communities, discipling new believers, mentoring youth, and training the next generation.
They also love to share stories, photos, and updates from the field so partners can see the lives being impacted through this mission.
Through prayer, encouragement, and financial partnership, you can become part of bringing the hope and love of Jesus to people and places where the gospel is rarely heard.
Together, we believe many lives will encounter Jesus and be transformed for eternity.
