Missionary Information:
We experienced our first short-term trip to Kenya, Africa in 2013 on a WOL team. As of 2019, we have been living and serving in Kenya full-time. The primary focus of our ministry is making disciples. We started out with a football team (soccer for Americans), discipling around 30 young men who were struggling with many temptations of the world. Alcohol, drugs, depression, poverty and even suicide.
These young men due to their past, current situations and young ages, (18-35) were considered “trouble” or cast outs in their own community. We found that simply saying “I see you” and “you are loved” began to open doors and hearts to receive Jesus.Through our football ministry, we have expanded into farming and agricultural projects, job creation, community development, clean water projects, school sponsorship, weekly bible study groups, church planting, widows’ empowerment, and other relationship building projects.We are people-focused, and that can get messy and be painful at times, but it is also beautiful and life-giving and 100% worth it. Our job on the mission field is to point people to God.Our greatest desire is to raise up Kenyan leaders who are God fearing, God trusting and God honoring. Leaders who are missionaries to their own communities, and those who desire to go into the world sharing the Gospel. Their hunger to know Jesus and to understand His love is what fuels our ministry.We have no agenda other than to share the love of Jesus with our friends and neighbors. To serve well and love well. It’s all about relationships and meeting people where they are and to walk with them at their pace.
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
