-Build a mud home for a community member in need
-participate in local home groups where they will share their testimony or a short teaching
-learn 2 by 2 evangelism with James and practice in the local market
-visit elderly people in remote places and bring them food

** Please review the Requirements related to Medical and Entry into Kenya as those will add some additional costs.
** Also, Background checks are REQUIRED, so please make sure you complete and mail that to [email protected] as soon as possible after completing your application.
