In a recent interview with Chams Media TV, Reverend Dr. Mary Miriti, a former teacher from Kenya, shares her extraordinary journey of defying odds to become a Major in the US Army and a full-time minister based in Dallas, Texas.
Her story is one of dedication and unwavering resilience. At the heart of Reverend Dr. Mary Miriti’s inspiring journey is her transition from a dedicated teacher to a Major in the US Army. Motivated by a deep-seated aspiration to pay homage to a clergy member who valiantly served during World War II, Mary embarked on her military journey at the age of 48, assuming the role of a Chaplain in 2011. Her entry into the armed forces was driven by a passion for serving and a commitment to continuing the legacy of those who had sacrificed before her.
Contrary to misconceptions, Mary underwent rigorous battlefield training, realizing that regardless of her role as a chaplain, soldiers face similar challenges. She highlights the physical demands, including passing a PT test at the age of 53. Mary’s commitment extends beyond the military. She founded Oasis Global Mission Church, a congregation catering to African immigrants in Dallas.
Mary’s ministry revolves around offering soldiers mental, emotional, and spiritual support, specifically those grappling with trauma and stress. Mary’s commitment to helping immigrants adapt to American society prompted her to create benevolent organizations like “Meu Diaspora Rising” and “Qu and GS Association.” These groups extend support and assistance to individuals within the community who encounter various challenges.
Facing racism in the US, Mary took a stand by creating a congregation that cultivates a feeling of inclusion for immigrants.
IF THE CUT OFF IS 35 YEARS…
IF THE CUT OFF IS 35 YEARS OLD.THIS “DOCTOR” MUST HAVE GIVEN AWAY HER PUSSY CAT TO GET IN AT 48 YEARS.

You so ignorant and jealous,…
You so ignorant and jealous, work hard and you will see door opening beyond the normal
Imagine being this jealous…
Imagine being this jealous. Just because you haven’t achieved anything in your sad life doesn’t mean you have to bring people down because you failed. Women can do anything if they put their mind to it.
@toto – I just feel so sorry…
@toto – I just feel so sorry for your inborn natural ignorance! So shallow minded and really a complete mtoto! You BFF don’t even know which hand is your left hand to the right hand!
@agirltoto – I read…
@agirltoto – I read somewhere else you had insulted a soldier, and someone told you to just learn to say thank you to those who serve in the military!
I guess you never learn anything! Why are you insulting this Major who dared to do an almost impossible job!! Passing PT ain’t a cup of tea! Please be respectful of others.
The lady you are insulting…
The lady you are insulting could buy you and sell you as a slave because of how much money she makes as a Major! Hopefully she won’t buy you simply because you are not worth anything @totogirl! Just keep doing your sugar mummy job at the Kelvin’s fast food outlet! Shame on you!
@Toto – Mary is smiling so…
@Toto – Mary is smiling so much because your insults do not amount to anything in her life! Hey, chaplains carry a weapon too! Do you Toto know how to use a gun?? Hehehehe!!!
@girltoto – Marry should…
@girltoto – Marry should smoke you for being such an ignorant kid! Major Mary, can you drill this fool and make her sweat?
@girltoto – There is no…
@girltoto – There is no henky panky in the US military. The educational credentials one has paves the way for recruitment. You are a product of a very corrupt Kenyan system and no wonder your warped mind set is glued on offering sex to acquire anything wherever you are in the world.
Your mother failed you for not teaching you good manners when addressing others. You have wasted your mind thinking like a pervert instead of working hard to be successful in life! No wonder you have the audacity to insult Mary! Shame on you!
Mary is not really worried…
Mary is not really worried about your insults! You can insult her like a damn sailor if all she cares about your small village mind set @agirltoto! Soldiers are used to those who insult them. If Mary can survive being in combat, your insults are merely a passing wind to her! Mary is just laughing at you because you are stupid!
Toto baby ya mamako! You are…
Toto baby ya mamako! You are insulting someone who is making a lot of money kid! A US Army Major makes about $150,000 per year plus so many other benefits.
You should try to reach out to Mary to ask her to help you join the Army as a damn Private to help you change your miserable life for the better! I blame your sugar Daddy Kevin Onyona for teaching you to open your legs to get a Dish Washing job at his joint. We are a total shame to the modern women.
You have formed a very bad habit insulting others because they are doing better in life than you! What is your stupid problem you idiot?
Dont you have any shame…
Dont you have any shame insulting a dignified lady who could be the age of your mother? Mary told you have age to let you know that nothing is impossible in this world. You cannot even do one push-up without collapsing on your ugly face Toto.
Must you insult Mary?
Must you insult Mary?
I did my research, there are…
I did my research, there are some positions in the army that they lift the age limit. She is a chaplain and I think they had to consider her credentials and level of education.
Very correct! Please educate…
Very correct! Please educate Totogirl on the issues of life and how important it is to have some education in your belt! All she knows is insulting others for nothing!
