A family from TBC Nairobi have recently relocated to Rwanda to teach
in the Rafiki Village (school) there. You might be aware that very many churches have been
closed because of new government regulations. “They require that it’s built on a property
owned by the church, with soundproofing and water harvesting. There are also
requirements on parking areas, and security systems. Also, there must be something else
other than the church, such as a school. So, it’s only one reformed (Baptist) church which
was on their property but then they have had to start a school in the property. They hope to
be approved to reopen soon. Most churches will not reopen, since their financial
capabilities are way too low to meet these demands.” There are also requirements for
formal training for leaders, something that the Kenya government also says it will
implement. This is one reason why there are many applicants for the Nairobi TPC.
