Kenya

TRAIN(Kenya) is a charity that supports the work of the gospel in Kenya. The title stands for Truth Reaching Africa In Need. One of the principal areas of work is in Western Kenya amongst the Pokot people. There has only been one new leader in Pokot in the past 20 years. We regard helping with the development of such leaders as a matter of great significance for the many existing churches and the future of the work. The Pokot brethren launched the Bible Light School in Kasei in January 2025. There are now more than 20 men in the process of training, using the materials put together by colleagues in Mombasa and Mumias at their Wisdom Training CEntres. We have been assisting with finance for the buildings, infrastructure and teacher support. We balieve this is of vital importance for the future health of the churches in the region. 

The January 2025 trip to Pokot was richly blessed. Keith and Oliver visited many of the 14 churches in the region and enjoyed much sweet fellowship with the believers. There were many encouragements, especially in seeing the commencement of the Bible College (9 men have begun the training), real progress in undermining the practice of polygamy in the churches and the first instance of a church building being erected with local funds. One of the highlights was Keith’s opportunity to witness to an elderly man he first met in 2008, who had forgotten the message of the gospel preached then, but now (17 years on), God was bringing that same message back to his ears in lovingkindness.
