Discipleship

August 2017

120 Members of the Kiria commuity participated in a discipleship training program. The main purpose of this activity was to share the love of Christ with Kiria community members and to deepen the international partnership with members of the community. The team had a successful capacity-building program for pastors and community leaders. The most compelling topic was about the character in leadership, which was a great encouragement to the spiritual leaders. One man, in his elderly years, commited and gave his life to Christ!

Walls are complete and they’re preparing to install the roof. This block will include a staffroom, two offices, and a storage room.

Serving with Joy: A Week in Mutirithia, Kenya

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Kenya, allow me to do my best to try to put into words what an incredible life-changing experience that you really need to do at least once in your life. 

I was recently blessed to travel to Mutirithia, Kenya with an amazing group of 20 other Christian men to serve the families in that community over the course of a week. 

We prepared for weeks to make sure everyone understood the primary objective of the trip, which was to build upon relationships already formed in the community and to spread the Word to as many people as we could. 

Allow me to unfold a day-by-day glimpse of what we experienced:
