Introduction
We are not just engineers by profession we are engineers by divine assignment. Eng. Peterson Bachia, Eng. Betty Chepkoech, and Eng. Marieta Mutheu have each journeyed through the complex landscapes of mechanical and aeronautical engineering. Beyond technical systems and infrastructure, we have come to a profound realization: God has a divine purpose for every sector, including the transport industry.
In an age where transport is synonymous with speed, automation, and logistics, it is easy to view it as purely operational. But what if God sees it as strategic? Roads, railways, air routes, and shipping lanes are not merely channels for commerce they can be instruments of Kingdom influence.
This blog reflects our journey of integrating technical expertise with spiritual purpose. We explore how faith and function intersect, how believers can impact the transport industry, and how innovation can serve not just efficiency but eternity.
If you're involved in transport, logistics, aviation, engineering, or simply wondering how God fits into modern industries this message is for you. Its time for Kingdom-minded professionals to rise, lead with integrity, and advance Gods purposes with the same excellence the world expects.

Every road, runway, railway, or shipping lane can carry more than people or products it can carry purpose. When believers bring faith into their field, even the most technical industries become places of transformation.
Let us rise as engineers, entrepreneurs, drivers, logisticians, and aviation experts who push not just profits but purpose. Let every mile moved be a testimony of God's Kingdom advancing through the hands of those He has called.
