Planting Churches. Changing Lives.
An example of a typical Kenyan Church
What does it take to plant a church?
Courage. Prayer. A clear call from God. And a decent pile of sticks, some corrugated Iron, a bag of nails and a hammer, and we are good to go (It is rural Africa after all).
Across East Africa, we’re seeing a growing hunger for the gospel. Communities are crying out for hope, truth, and transformation. And God is answering — not through slick strategies or celebrity preachers, but through everyday men and women who are saying yes to Jesus and yes to their neighbours.
That’s why we’re planting churches in some of the most under-resourced and overlooked places — towns like Lomelo, Siakago, and beyond. These are not just buildings. They’re spiritual homes, places of refuge, centres of hope, and launching pads for kingdom mission.
In each of these locations, teams are gathering, praying, reaching out, discipling new believers, and serving their communities. But they need somewhere to meet — a space that says, “We’re here. We’re staying. And we’re with you.”
What’s the Plan?
We’re currently raising funds to construct simple but solid church buildings in:
Lomelo
Church Name: Real Life Lomelo
A vibrant gathering in a remote village, already reaching the lost and discipling the found.
Siakago
Church Name: Real Life Siakago
We started with six families and a lot of prayer. We believe for growth and gospel impact that lasts.
The Budget
Each church needs funding for basic construction, a toilet block, and electricity, not just for comfort, but for long-term sustainability and community use.
