Hesbone and Violet provide oversight and direction for DOVE Kenya and Zambia as well as serve on the DOVE Africa Apostolic Council. They also serve on the DOVE International Apostolic Council.
Hesbone has a passion to reach out with the holistic gospel, networking with like-minded organizations to see communities transformed. Hesbone studied at universities in south central Asia, Kenya, and the Netherlands. He led an international students’ fellowship and, with other students, founded a fellowship in a university. In 1993, after returning to Kenya, Hesbone became part of DOVE Nairobi, where he served as an associate pastor. In 2007, the Lord called the Odindos to plant a church in Hesbone’s home village, Kadawa, in western Kenya. By the grace of God, Restoration Community Church has expanded into nearly twenty churches. Read their church-planting story here.
Like her husband, Violet is a gifted teacher of the Word. She is the director of Victory Christian School and manages several successful businesses.
The Odindos are blessed with four children and one grandchild. Their prayer is that the God of more than enough will pour His grace upon them to serve for His glory.
