Mathew Mchana Tumu, who served as the national treasurer of the Covenant Church of Kenya, was murdered Friday by thieves who stole two goats.
Tumu’s daughter had called him to let him know the thieves were taking the animals. He went searching for the thieves.
Villagers found his mutilated body in an open field near his home on Saturday. Tumu, 55, leaves behind six girls and two boys. Six of the children are school age.
In addition to serving as national treasurer, he was pastor of Hongwe Covenant Church Mpeketoni.
Pray for Matthew’s family and the Evangelical Covenant Church of Kenya as they grieve the loss of father, husband, pastor and friend.
