Lilian Oketch is a business owner and entrepreneur living in Des Moines, Iowa. Oketch, an immigrant, married at a very young age. After Bible studies, Oketch decided to get baptized. Later, as a mom going through a divorce, she worked a cleaning job to make ends meet. She heard God’s voice while cleaning (and praying) the Adventist church — a clear message that she was to open a cleaning business that would help not only her family, but people in the community. She listened and registered her company in 2018. She employs nine employees. Oketch is featured on the cover of the February 2025 Adventist Journey magazine.
