Kenn's Story



Kenn Eddy Krezi  who was born in one of the largest slums of Nairobi, Kenya named Mathare and is currently twenty one years old. Being the last born in a family of ten, getting school fees, shelter, food and other basic needs were a continual struggle for him. His family's one-room house served as their kitchen, living room, bedroom, shower room and business place for his parents. His mom was an illegal brewer in the tragic slum of Mathare. Surrounded by poverty, drugs, thugs and violence, he grew up blaming God for allowing him to go through all the hardships; especially when he got a stray bullet in his abdomen at the young age of 16, and when his home went ablaze 2 months before his final high school examination-being left with no books or school attire.


From grade one to eight he walked to school on foot for one hours time each way. In the entirety of his school years, only once was he able to afford going on an educational trip. This is just but a few of the hardships this young man faced growing up.Currently he is a Kenyan gospel, hip hop, crank and rap  as well as a performing and music writing artiste.It has been five years since he stared tinkering with music while in his second year of high school in Nairobi. It was not until he cleared high school that he paid full attention to his music.  Before rapping, he used to lead praise and worship at Saturday club where we had been sponsored partially for academics through Compassion International.It is through growing in compassion that his heart for the community came along and he wants to establish hope in the hearts and change the lives of people all over the slums of the world through the love of Jesus Christ.


Therefore he started the non profit organization Revived By Love Ministries together with his friends to help change the state of the slums in the world having been brought up from one by showing them the love of Jesus.


As an artiste,he gives 50% of the profit sold in all his merchandise through his cloth-line named Krezi Ware.He also gives 100% of the outcome of the sales of his music online.Currently he is working as a missionary with Kkrew;which is a gospel entertainment ministry with a vision to see one million souls come to Christ by the year 2020 and fifty thousand every year.


Currently his impact in the community is not really effective because the ministry lacks enough funds and partners to join in this cause.Therefore he is pleading to you all to help link with corporates,partner and volunteer in this ministry as we help see a better community than we found.
Currently we have an office in Kenya and another one in Colorado, USA.
