Why
Kenya
Kenya is located in East Africa and is home to 57 million people and ten distinct ethnic groups. The population of Kenya is incredibly young, with 36% of the population under the age of 14 and 60% of the population between the ages of 15–64. Faith is highly visible in Kenya—churches are widespread, and many people openly express belief in God. However, there is still a strong need for:
- Biblical teaching and discipleship
- Leadership development in local churches
- Outreach to unreached and rural communities
- Support for youth facing poverty and limited opportunities
Join me in my prayer for Africa: “May the Lord, our God, bless Africa and raise her to what she should be and do, towards Quality Kingdom Growth and Kingdom Advance, both within and beyond. AMEN!”
– Bernard Kabaru
Our
Partnership
Grace Church has come alongside the local church in Kenya through pastoral training, economic development, medical camps, and leadership development. All this has been done to strengthen the local church through holistic ministry. Our partnership with Bernard Kabaru and the Life Empowerment for Transformation International (Lefti) has given Grace Church an opportunity to work with an organization that shares our vision: making mature disciples of Christ and equipping people for a life of spiritual passion. Each year, Grace has the opportunity to send at least four short-term teams to Kenya that are focused on pastoral teaching, church leadership training, children’s ministry, and medical care. These teams have served alongside members of local churches and pastors. Our goal in Kenya is to partner with local churches by training pastors and leaders and by equipping the Church of Kenya to address the needs of its people.
Our partnership offers support in the following areas:
- Pastoral Training
- OVC Sponsorship: Orphans & Vulnerable Children
- Teens & Children
- Medical Camps
- Community Empowerment
What You
Can Do
You can consider joining a Grace short-term trip to Kenya in which you would be participating in medical clinics. Spots are limited but available for non-medical professionals. Serving our Kenyan partners in this way enhances the relational equity that is so vital to our long-term success in the country.
Join us in transforming lives through OVC Kenya. Partner with us to provide education, life skills, and lasting support to vulnerable children in Limuru. Together, we can build meaningful relationships and help break the cycle of poverty for future generations.
