SUMMARY:Australian and African Commonwealth Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Bishop Michael Musale serves as the General Overseer of Christ Victory Gospel Ministries\, and President of Victory Christian School\, both located in Turbo\, Kenya. Michael was born and raised in Nairobi in the era when Britain was gradually relinquishing responsibility for a number of African nations\, including Kenya \nHence he was privileged to be one of the first African children to study at the prestigious Prince of Wales School in Nairobi. From there he gained a tertiary qualification and taught high school science for several years before going into full time Christian ministry. His wife Emily has also spent many years in school teaching. Together they have three adult children. \nIn Africa the term “Bishop” often means an overseeing minister\, and that is the case with Michael Musale\, as he supervises five congregations and mentors pastors and other leaders in Kenya and beyond. In 2013 he opened a school that provides free education to poor children in his area of Kenya\, who would otherwise be denied a good quality learning experience. The school commenced as a result of sponsorship gained in Adelaide and Perth\, following a well received speaking tour. Bishop Musale encouraged many groups and churches to consider the nation-building vocation that is a forgotten foundational aspiration enunciated by Governor Arthur Phillip\, in 1788\, at the commencement of modern Australia.
