Kenyan churches are ready to be mobilized as sending churches for cross-cultural African missionaries, but they need training and guidance. Your gift will host 3 two-week trainings, that will empower 90 missions support staff to cast vision to the churches for mission work, strategize for engaging unreached people groups, and train others in missiology. $300 funds 1 person for the training, with 30 participants per session.

Modeled after the IMB training process, this 5-week residential training program will equip East African missionaries with all they need to thrive and be effective in a cross-cultural ministry. $150 per person per week covers room, board, and training costs, which means $750 will prepare one missionary. Join us in equipping 60 East African missionaries each year, empowering Africans to reach the unreached to the ends of the earth.

The success of the training led by IMB personnel will depend on national partners supporting the ministry as receptionists, cooks, housekeepers, groundskeepers and security officers. $35,000 will cover all 5 positions. Your gift will provide salaries for these partners, as they make the trainings possible.

Identifying people who sense God's call to serve as cross-cultural missionaries is crucial in this endeavor. Our team will travel to countries around East Africa to cast vision to churches and Baptist conventions to find those whom God is calling. Your gift will provide for travel and vision-casting to three countries we have not yet visited.

Healthy churches send and support missionaries well. To empower East African churches to grow in health and missions vision, our team will travel to church partners and Baptist conventions around Kenya to vision-cast and lead Healthy Church training and “8-Steps for Sending Churches.” Your gift will provide fuel, food, lodging and training materials for 10 trainings per year. Help us get solid, missional theology to our national Baptist churches.

For so long, Christian missionaries came to Africa only from the West. Your gift will enable us to host one-day conferences to explore God's call to cross-cultural missions for African Christians. We pray that these events will help attendees identify if they are sensing a call to missions and recruit new missionaries from among East African believers.
