The Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church is mourning the heartbreaking death of Pastor James Mutai, a dedicated servant of God who passed away following a tragic road accident.

Pastor Mutai’s sudden death has sent shockwaves through the SDA community, leaving family members, fellow pastors, church leaders and hundreds of believers grappling with the painful loss of a man remembered for his commitment to faith and service.
He served as the SDA Tinderet District Pastor, where he devoted himself to ministering to congregations, encouraging believers and spreading the Christian message. His ministry touched the lives of many people, and news of his death has been met with an outpouring of grief and condolences.
For those who knew him, Pastor Mutai was more than a church leader. He was a spiritual guide and a source of encouragement to members of the congregations under his care. His sudden departure has created a profound void within the church community, particularly among those who worked closely with him in ministry.
The circumstances surrounding the road accident have added to the grief, with the news of his untimely death leaving many church members struggling to come to terms with the fact that a pastor who had dedicated his life to serving others is no longer with them.
Messages of sympathy have continued to reach the bereaved family as members of the SDA fraternity stand with them during this difficult period.
Condolences have also been extended to the SDA West Rift Valley Field under the leadership of President Pastor Kogei, as well as the Kapkonjusmo and Tinderet Districts and the wider SDA Church fraternity.
Pastor Mutai’s death comes as a painful reminder of how suddenly life can change. A journey that may have begun as an ordinary day ended in tragedy, leaving behind family, friends, colleagues and believers to mourn a man whose life was devoted to faith and service.
As the church prepares to bid farewell to its pastor, mourners are turning to the same faith that Pastor Mutai preached and lived by for comfort and strength.
The bereaved family is now facing the difficult days ahead as preparations are made to lay their loved one to rest. Church leaders and members are expected to continue standing with the family, offering prayers, encouragement and practical support during the mourning period.
May God grant strength and comfort to Pastor James Mutai’s family, relatives, friends, colleagues and the entire SDA fraternity during this painful time.
May his years of service remain a lasting testimony to his dedication to God and His people.
May Pastor James Mutai rest in eternal peace.
