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.

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.

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.
