Agitated by escalating spiritual uncertainty, Kenya is a country whose future is hanging in the balance.

In the north, isolated indigenous tribes live in animism and Islam. In the south, a population that has been blessed with two long centuries of Christian influence is now weighed down in many places by spiritual shallowness, divisions and weak or corrupt leadership.

To make matters worse, the country now teeters on the edge of possible economic collapse and intensifying inter-ethnic conflict. AIDS continues to overtake many lives in silent disaster. And Islam, formerly a passive minority, has begun to advance stealthily from the corners of the country, building mosques and offering easily-affordable education.

The journey ahead is gutted with rocky roads but many Bible League-trained workers in Kenya are determined to reach out to their people with the transformation and hope of the Gospel of Jesus.

In the north, Bible League-trained workers are being equipped to bring Scriptures and instruction to many tribal people who have never heard of the love of Christ. Ministry to new language groups and tribes is expanding every year.

In the south, which has been oversaturated with ‘crusade-type’ evangelism, thousands claim membership in a church but have never entered into a personal relationship with Jesus.

The "relationship-based" evangelism challenges Matua, his family and even the entire congregation into a deeper relationship with Jesus. CLICK TO READ MORE

To overcome that problem, Bible League encourages a relationship-based strategy, focused not on adding converts, but on making disciples. Through these efforts, Christians in Kenya can reach out to those who believe in religious tradition, to show them the deep personal love of the Saviour.
