2019

Fall 2019

• Last month we had a successful Sports ministry of reaching the unreached, predominantly Islamic people groups at the Kenya – Ethiopia Border. The event brought together teams from different tribes which have been in conflict for many years. For the first time they came together through sports. The area senior police
  inspector graced the occasion by giving out the
  trophies to the winners.
  • ​​It was amazing to see people who have always been in conflict playing together.
  • We plan to host this team in Nairobi in October as a way of following up on them. It would be great to have them attend service in our Church​ 
• We have an upcoming  training in Burundi and Congo, August 27-September 2.
