Parish link
The parish is linked to Christchurch, Bexleyheath, in the UK Diocese of Rochester. Working in partnership, a kindergarten is being built, where two teachers will be employed. Christchurch is also contributing towards a new church that is under construction.
The women of the church have been making clay pots as a community project and through this work, and their singing and worship, the church has seen many blessings.
The new church is being built by three Masai tribe families, with a small contribution from other church members. Below is a picture of the new church, under construction.
Below is a picture of Bishop Given, being shown the foundations of the new kindegarten, in July 2019.
Below is a picture from the confirmation service in July 2019 at which 30 Christians, including people from local Maasai tribes, were confirmed.
Community development
The parish is one of seventeen in the diocese, taking part in the Church and Community Mobilization Programme (CCMP). The CCMP is a Bible-based, guided training approach that local churches are using with their communities. Together, they identify the resources they have, then, work together, to bring about long-lasting, whole-life change. As local communities work through the process, they decide which activities will bring about the most effective and positive outcomes for them given their current situations.
