QUINCY, Mass.,_ A Kenyan pastor in Boston survived death narrowly when his car crashed into a residential home  after loosing control in bad weather on his way back home from work, leaving  the owner of the house Anjel Anastasi, badly scared.

RevJoseph Nyamoki of Springs of Victory Ministries was driving down hill on Kendrick Avenue near Faxon Park in Quincy   yesterday morning at 9.30 am (Sunday after Christmas holiday) when he suddenly lost control of his car, which then drove over the curb past the pavement, ending partly inside the man’s house.

Moments later, Rev. Nyamoki was rushed to the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston where he was treated for a broken left arm and a badly mangled right arm. He was discharged at about 7pm.

Talking to Ajabu Africa news from his home in Randolph, Rev. Nyamoki said that road conditions were very bad as he traveled home from work on the fateful day.  

  “I was driving very slowly and was not even accelerating, but suddenly my car started skidding badly and i could see it headed to crash into other oncoming cars that were waiting to take a left turn at the lights”.

He said that he tried to control the car but things happened so rapidly that he found himself inside the man’s house, with the airbags bursting in his face and arms, causing a smell of fire.

“I tried to open the driver’s door but it was pinned by a metal rail in the house. The front passenger door could not open either and since  the car was smelling like fire, I jumped into the back seat, opened the rear door and jumped out of the car”, the pastor  told Ajabu Africa.

Rev.Nyamoki, who recently arrived from Kenyan to join his family, is an experienced long term driver but does not have a lot of experience driving in snow conditions as found here in the North east.

“It is God who did this miracle. I just thank God for me to be alive right now because it was a really bad situation”, the pastor said as he spoke on a telephone held to his ears by one of 3 his children as he can not hold anything himself.
 
 His wife, Rosemary Nyamoki who is a teacher at Boston Higashi School, and an upcoming gospel artist, was very pleased that her husband lived to see another day attributing it to God’s protection.“It’s God’s protection because it would have been worse than this”, she told Ajabu Africa News on a telephone interview from the family’s home.

 The family considers the gift of life to Rev. Nyamoki the perfect Christmas gift they could have asked for on an early Sunday morning, one day after the actual Christmas day.
