Mission
Rehema (word means Mercy in Swahili) is a Christian Faith based program under Global Faith Evangel Ministry (director is Pastor Nelson Saisi) in a small agricultural community of  Kitale, Kenya. It is dedicated to winning souls for Jesus Christ, making disciples and raising up those who will become Christian leaders in the community.  Rehema Care Centre is part of a larger vision for their ministry which includes Seminars, conferences, and open air evangelism to distant villages training believers to trust in the Scriptures and learn to base their lives on these teachings. The mission of Rehema Care Centre is, therefore,  incorporated within the greater vision by enabling the young ones to be cared for and taught the ways of God from a young age. Rehema is gathering and training ministers. 

History (Biography of a man with a mission)
Pastor Nelson was born to the proud parents of Bro. Elphas and his mother Phanice Milaho where his father was a church Elder at the Pentecostal Assembles of God Church. He was raised in a Christian family being the 2nd born in a family of 10 children but one went to be with the Lord in the year 1990. Pastor Nelson life is a living testimony to those who saw him grow up. He was born in a small village called Gisambai in Kakamega where the bare reality of abject Spiritual and physical poverty has taken toll. He grew up in the village and he joined gisambai primary school and later joined the high school. In his 2nd year in high school, life became difficulty because his father separated with his mother and relocated to another town leaving Nelson’s mother and the other children alone. 
For many years they never saw their father. Life became very difficult because his mother was only a house wife and that made Nelson to drop out of school because of lack of school fees. Things became hard on him and he went to the streets to be a beggar. His only security and peace was on the streets and his life was a life of so many challenges which includes alcoholism and drug addiction .He also worked as a watchman. Life had no meaning to him He did not know that God was preparing him but we thank God; God knows how to get one in a corner. He went through many pains but one day while attending a crusade, a man of God shared from the Bible. 
Since Nelson heard about God's love and judgment, he didn't have any other option other than receiving Christ as his personal savior in the year 1996, and since then he has never regretted. From that time, Nelson developed fervent burn in his heart to serve the Lord. He joined one of the churches in his village home, and he served as a praise and worship leader in that church where he met his uncle who was working as a contractor in building. He took him and worked as a casual laborer but it was hard job for Nelson since he had never done a construction work. But that job helped him to take care of his mother and their younger children.  After two years, that church appointed him as a youth pastor and later he was appointed again and ordained as a lay pastor.    
While attending leaders and Pastors Conference, God’s anointing and voice was so heavy upon him that he had to obey. That’s when God was preparing him for the birthing of the ministry.  God spoke to Pastor Nelson in a clear voice to leave his homeland and led him to step out in faith and leave his job. Nelson did according on how the voice of God had spoken to him and he ended landing in Kitale town where he started a church. The house church begun with three families and grew rapidly too many attending his service. There he decided to start this ministry called Global Faith Evangel Ministry  in February 2006 under the covering of Rev. Dr. Michael Wafula who is the Founder and Director of International Gospel Equipping Ministries (IGEM) an interdenominational body working with ministers. 
Then his heart started crying for those street children."God, How can I reach these kids in the streets?"
The heart of God is now crying for the orphaned children. All children have a right to live, eat, be clothed, be treated and taken to school, however in a place like Bosinia village in Kitale Kenya, the bare reality of abject poverty, HIV/AIDS related deaths; often forces children into early childhood labor, streets, pick-pocketing, destituteness and drop out of school. As a result, most school drop-out children, particularly the youths, have gone engaging themselves in some socially unwanted behavior such as, drug abuse, petty theft and prostitution because of their poor state of income. 
 Because of what Pastor Nelson passed through in life, made him to take life seriously than anyone could imagine. The Lord is so good to him and he has done great things in his life, they established a children centre by the name Rehema Children’s Centre in 2007. Many children today suffering because of the ignorance of their parents and they don't care anymore with the future of these young children.
Pastor Nelson is married to a beautiful wife Minister Lilybeth whom God is using in a mighty way in this generation. They all believe in loving one another, helping one another, fellowship and making friendship. Many have come to them for Spiritual advice and counseling. They communicate GOD'S goodness, for the Lord Has entrusted them with His presence through their ministry to reach out to the perishing World. Pastor Nelson has a gift of music, singing and playing the keyboard while his wife Lilybeth she is a worshipper leading people into His presence.
