Mobilizing Kenyan Churches for Mission

There is a fast-growing desire among young believers in some evangelical churches for outreach, disciple-making, and church planting in communities where Christ is least known. More voluntary self-supported local mission workers have started to step out and some evangelical churches have started to send local mission workers to communities where Christ is least known. SIM Kenya aspires to mobilises Kenyan churches for cross-cultural ministries, locally and globally, by recruiting ministry associates; providing short-term cross-cultural ministry training; and developing a cross-cultural ministry training centre. If you could help with any of these, we'd love to hear from you.

Sports Friends Kenya

Kenyan church leaders are seeking new and creative strategies to relate to youth. Sport creates an environment for building relationship, which leads to opportunities to share the love of Christ with the youth and their families. Sports Friends Kenya seeks to disciple, train and equip church leaders, missionaries, and church planters to use sports as an avenue for evangelism, discipleship, and church planting. Sports Friends Kenya envisions developed, ongoing and sustainable sports ministry programs fully managed and funded by the local churches. We partner with the Kenyan churches to develop effective and fruitful church-centred sports ministry movements.

Borana Outreach

The Borana are a large tribe in northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia. They live in small, scattered communities. They are historically nomadic cattle herders, but some communities have settled in semi-agricultural areas. In addition to keeping small flocks of cattle, goats, and sheep, they are involved in subsistence farming. Most of the Borana are unreached and closed to the gospel, whereas radical Islam is making inroads into the Borana-speaking communities. Mission workers have been accepted into these communities and good ministry relationships have been built. We need a vibrant and multi-skilled ministry team to serve the Borana-speaking communities in northern Kenya.

Children At Risk Network

Despite the many ongoing efforts by many organizations and individuals to respond to needs of vulnerable children and families, there is not much to show. Many of the ministries responding to these needs are lacking in best practices and therefore not very effective or efficient. Many are working in isolation struggling to find resources to do the work. Greater unity, sensitization, equipping, networking, collaboration and coordination among organizations working with vulnerable families is required if there is to be any improvement. The government is aware that even dedicated Christian projects are not better and they are also doing unstructured and inexperienced work. Though very keen to grow and progress they may not have access to training and resources. Children at Risk Network walks alongside these other groups to help transform the situation by developing their capacity to effectively and efficiently love, care for, protect and disciple children. As a wise person said, a strong desire to make change must be coupled with the capacity to make that change. Many faith organizations are well aware that it is not enough to just have a big heart to serve, but individuals, churches and Christian organizations must also invest time and resources in developing their capacity to do ministry using best practices. We are convinced that the church should be in the forefront in responding to issues affecting their communities. However, Christians are often seen as having a good heart but being oblivious to society’s needs. If the work of the Church is leading the way to lasting change for children and the community at large, it will be respected. The Church was not previously equipped to deal with social issues. Through training and sensitization efforts by SIM Kenya Children at Risk Network, the past perceptions and attitudes of pastors are changing, and they now desire to be equipped to deal with spiritual and professional issues to be included in the common agenda with the government and other agencies to obtain support and reduce any sense of isolation that is usually felt. Healthy relationships and cross-pollination with other SIM Kenya ministries have been borne much fruit and many children have been impacted positively. We are taking advantage of these relationships to enhance our ministry efforts. UNICEF Statistics of Young People connected to Streets and trafficking 100 million globally, 360000+ in Kenya. Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi and Lamu are preferred by vulnerable children as easy life opportunity host hubs, hence young people engage in street connection and young people trafficking is very high.

Digo Outreach Network

The Digo are the second largest Muslim Unreached People Group in Kenya. Although the Bible has been translated into Chidigo the impact of the gospel on this community of 460,000 along the south Kenya coast has been minimal. SIM Kenya is committed to seeing a change of this sad state and has already started to form a small team that is working towards an effective strategy to reach them.
