Ugandan preacher Owori leads Garden City church revival
Neighbors describe Rev Godfrey Owori of Calvary Temple Worship Center in Nairobi moving from facility cleanup to Bible philosophy degree, music ministry, and television direction before founding his ministry in 1995. He later joined Second Baptist in Garden City, attracting about 50 on Sundays, while expanding web presence and church connections across denominations. Aided by Rosa Thomas and Mt. Zion pastor Roger Bradshaw, Owori aims to broaden his ministry, invite diverse preachers, and invite city residents to worship while growing toward a larger building.
