Charles Elephant

Charles Elephant was born and brought up in a beautiful town, Mukurwe-ini, Nyeri in Kenya. His real name is Charles Njogu, but Njogu means Elephant in his language. He completed a Master's degree in International Finance and Economics at Brandeis University in 2003. He is completing another Master's Degree of Science in Management and Systems at New York University. He came to the United States in 2001 and lived in Waltham, Massachusetts, but most recently resides in Newark, New Jersey.

He came to know God and understand His ways in the early 1990s. Since then, his life has been changed completely. At first, he was confused and bothered because he could not understand his mission and his life seemed nothing but chaos. He wanted to hear directly from God and learn more from Him. He knew that if there was a God, surely He had good stories to tell. He longed for those good stories day and night, until finally God heard his prayers and blessed him according to his heart's desire.

He is inspired most by this passage from Isaiah 57: 14-21. The Lord says:

"Let my people return to me. Remove every obstacle from their path! Build the road, and make it ready! I am the high and holy God, who lives forever. I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are humble and repentant, so that I can restore their confidence and hope. I gave my people life, and I will not continue to accuse them or be angry with them forever. I was angry with them because of their sin and greed, so I punished them. But they were stubborn and kept on going their own way. I have seen how they acted, but I will heal them, and I will comfort those who mourn. I offer peace to all, both near and far! I will heal my people. But the evil men are like the restless sea, whose waves never stop rolling in, bringing filth and muck. There is no safety for sinners."

It is his humble desire to tap into more knowledge and wisdom from God in order to teach His children. His heart's desire is to write more books and to record music of Praise and Worship.

My purpose in this merciless and bitter world is to bring together all the children of the Most High God to understand each other and find a way back to God. It is my responsibility to help others to rise above body-consciousness and have a glimpse of the Lord, with His grace.
