About the Project
In addition to the project details mentioned above, the District Superintendent of Nairobi shared his vision for our team beyond construction. While construction remains our main focus, he has encouraged us to expand our reach through evangelism training for those working with women and children refugees in Nairobi. Additionally, he has expressed the need for DCPI training for pastors in Nairobi and Kilifi. Lastly, there is an opportunity for those with medical expertise to provide much-needed healthcare services.
With these exciting developments, it's clear that we need as many dedicated individuals as possible. We are looking for passionate individuals who are eager to work with children and teens, contribute to the Jesus film project, lend their skills as cooks, medical professionals, pastors, and teachers. If you know you can help in one of these categories let us know in the registration form below! Also, make sure to share this information with people you know could help! Lastly, Kilifi is in a “Muslim Resilience Area” of Kenya, but the Church of the Nazarene has made great progress in reaching children & parents of Kilifi through Bright Junior Academy.
