In the heart of Kisumu, the Owino family had run a hardware shop for over two decades.
It was a business passed down from the father to the eldest son, Joseph Owino, who had always dreamed of expanding it into a regional chain. Yet, despite years of experience, the shop had hit an unexpected slump.
For nearly a year, the hardware store faced relentless challenges. Staff turnover was high—employees would leave without notice or fail to show up for work.
Minor thefts became frequent, affecting both stock and morale. Sales, which had once been steady, dwindled month after month. Every evening, Joseph closed the shop feeling defeated, unsure how to reverse the decline.
Investments in advertisements and new stock had little effect. Even loyalty from long-time customers seemed to vanish.
The family felt the pressure, as their savings were being drained just to keep the shop afloat. Arguments over finances became frequent, and the once tight-knit family began to feel the strain of uncertainty.
It was during one particularly tense evening, after discovering yet another missing shipment, that Joseph’s cousin suggested contacting Dr Bokko. Skeptical but desperate, Joseph reached out.
He explained the situation in detail—the thefts, the staff disputes, and the persistent drop in sales. Though he did not fully understand how spiritual guidance could impact a business, he hoped for a fresh perspective.
Over the following weeks, small but noticeable changes began to take place. Employees, who had previously been unreliable, started showing up on time and taking more initiative.
Internal disputes among staff settled quietly, and the workplace atmosphere began to shift. The family noticed that even their conversations about business were calmer, focused on solutions rather than blame.
More importantly, sales began to pick up. Customers returned, some bringing friends, while new clients discovered the shop through word-of-mouth referrals.
The once stagnant inventory started moving quickly, and the store’s financial health slowly improved. Joseph found himself able to plan for new stock and repairs without the constant fear of loss.
The transformation was not immediate, but it was steady. The shop, which had teetered on the edge of collapse, regained its rhythm. Joseph could finally breathe, knowing that his family business was once again secure.
Confidence returned not only to him but to his employees, and the sense of shared purpose restored the unity of the family.
For Joseph Owino, reaching out to Dr Bokko was a turning point. It was not a magic fix, but rather a source of guidance and clarity at a time when conventional solutions had failed.
Slowly, the hardware shop recovered, proving that hope, patience, and the right intervention could revive even the most troubled family business. CONTINUE READING
