No Maranatha Without Mission: Rekindling the Bride's Cry and Finishing the Task is a prophetic call to the Church to recover her first love and her true mission. The early believers lived with a passionate expectation for the return of their Lord. Their prayer, ""Maranatha-Come, Lord Jesus,"" was not a ritual but the heartbeat of a bride longing for her Groom. Yet they also knew that Christ's return is tied to the fulfillment of His Great Commission: making disciples of all nations.

In this book, Onesmas Murithi challenges the modern Church to return to this dual posture-deep intimacy with Christ and bold obedience to His mission. He warns that a church that prays ""Come, Lord Jesus"" without actively reaching the lost is like a bride who has lost her love. Love for the Groom must always overflow into love for the people He died for.

Through biblical teaching, real-life testimonies, and practical guides, Murithi outlines how believers can rekindle the Maranatha cry within the simplicity of house churches, while remaining outward-focused on discipling the nations. Each chapter includes reflection questions for small groups, making the book ideal for discipleship circles, house church gatherings, and mission-focused fellowships.

This book will help you:

Rediscover the passionate cry of the Bride of Christ. Understand why mission and Maranatha cannot be separated. Learn practical steps to start and sustain vibrant house churches. Integrate outreach and discipleship into everyday life. Cultivate a lifestyle of expectancy and obedience as we await Christ's return.

No Maranatha Without Mission is both a stirring wake-up call and a practical handbook for believers who want to be found faithful-burning with love for Jesus and busy with His work until He comes.

Mwalimu Murithi's experience in the corporate world has given him a unique perspective on the issues facing people today. As a project manager for community-based projects, he has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of orphans, youth, people with disabilities, street children, and refugees, with an iron will and a heart of gold.

With his tangible experience of the problems facing the most vulnerable members of society, he brings a unique perspective to the literary world and a voice that demands to be heard, like a lion's roar in the jungle. Onesmas Murithi is a passionate disciple-maker, house church practitioner, and trainer committed to advancing the Kingdom of God where it is least known. Based in Kenya, Onesmas serves at the grassroots-equipping believers to return to the simplicity, power, and purpose of the early Church as seen in the Book of Acts. With a deep burden for unreached people groups, especially among Muslim communities like the Borana, Somali, he mentors believers to multiply disciples and plant house churches that are Spirit-led, Bible-saturated, and culturally relevant. His work includes: Training emerging leaders in obedience-based discipleship Facilitating house church networks across East Africa Mobilizing believers for cross-cultural missions Integrating holistic approaches like agribusiness and technical training into disciple-making movements Onesmas believes that revival won't come through massive buildings or polished programs, but through surrendered lives and small communities who obey Jesus fully and make Him known boldly.
