Apostle Daniel Wanyonyi and Pastor Esther are the founders of Goshen Living Center and serve as President and founding leaders of the work. They are also the founders of God With Us Ministries, through which they oversee a growing network of churches across Kenya, Uganda, and Burundi.

Having served in ministry for most of their lives, Apostle Dan and Pastor Esther carry a deep commitment to the spiritual and practical well-being of the communities they serve. Their leadership is marked by a passion for discipleship, pastoral care, and raising strong local churches that can bring lasting transformation to their regions.

Alongside their ministry work, they carry a broader vision to see communities strengthened through practical support and opportunity. This vision includes the development of the Goshen Living Center as a place where people can access food resources, medical care through an affordable health clinic, and a hub of support providing refuge and hope for battered women, widows, and orphans. Through their churches across Kenya and Uganda, they have long been devoted to caring for vulnerable families.

Together, Apostle Dan and Pastor Esther are committed to seeing individuals, families, and entire communities empowered to thrive spiritually, socially, and economically. Their leadership continues to shape a growing movement of faith, compassion, and community development across the region.
