 Our purpose for going to
Kenya:
The
purpose of a mission trip to
Kenya
is to give students
an opportunity to encounter themselves, others, and God in a
challenging and
impacting
way through the power
of the Holy Spirit. This mission
trip to Kenya, Africa,
is designed for
students who are
ready to take the next step in their
relationship with Jesus Christ
and allow God to use their
gifts and abilities to impact the people of Kenya as they live out their
faith. The trip consists of
14 days in a highly
relational ministry environment.
We will be challenged
daily to share the gospel of
Jesus Christ and how He has made a difference in their lives.
We
will also be engaged in relational/evangelistic ministries, prayer
walks, listening prayer, door-to-door evangelism, evangelistic Vacation
Bible Schools for kids, sports evangelism (outreach),
caring for kids at an
orphanage, ministry in public school, medical ministry
and
some
work projects. This trip will be
challenging
and life changing.
We
believe that mission trips help produce significant life change in
people
by allowing them to put their faith into action as they experience
missions first hand through cross-cultural experiences
outside of their normal comfortable surroundings.
As we engage in the Kenyan/African culture we have the opportunity to
really impact this part of the world for Jesus Christ as we partner with
Pastor Kefa and Pastor Francis at Kings Highway Church and Shangilia
Orphanage.
Our
primary purposes in Kenya is to partner with a local church and pastor
(Pastor Francis & Pastor Kefa), share the gospel with those who do not
know Christ, encourage the believers, disciple believers, and show the
love of Jesus Christ to a people whom God loves.
About Kenya and where we will minister:
Located on the eastern coast
of Africa, Kenya is a land of wildlife reserves and safaris. We will be
ministering among reached and unreached peoples, in the city of Eldoret
and a rural village called Vihega (outside of Kisumu). We will
have the opportunity to share Christ in schools, open- air services,
church services, door to door evangelism, ministering to orphanage at
Shangilia Orphanage, meeting physical needs, Medical clinic and through
sports outreach. We will become part of the community by living, eating,
and working with the people we are there to serve. We will see God
use us in ways they never thought possible.
