On April 14, I will be heading to Kenya with Stanley Mutunga of Tumaini Ministries for nine days. During our time there, we'll meet with a new church plant worshipping at the new Tumaini Center. It was established last fall as an effort to begin a church that is simply a New Testament non-denominational congregation, something different than the norm in Kenya.
Stanley and I will lead teaching and discussion times that will focus on the structure, growth and development of the local church. Of particular concern this time will be teaching involving the Lord's Supper and baptism as they relate to the church, and elders, deacons and overall leadership issues.
This new church is currently running about 125 each week and is already looking to reproduce itself in other places. So, we are anticipating the possibility that this might not simply be a new church planted, but a new church planting movement! Therefore, the foundation set now becomes that much more crucial for what lies ahead.
I'll keep you updated about what's going on with this project. Meanwhile, I've included a video that we made from our time with Tumaini the first year we took a team (2006).
Enjoy!
