Pastoral Support & Seminars!
AMP supports 10 Kenyan pastors by providing them with $50 per month to help them put food on the table for their families. Many KAG congregations are so impoverished that they are unable to pay their pastors a salary, making this support vital for their survival.
​
In January 2019, we hosted our first KAG pastor seminar, aiming to equip pastors with the tools and knowledge needed to lead their congregations effectively. The response was overwhelming, and in January 2020, we held our second seminar, where over 50 KAG pastors attended.
These seminars not only provide essential training but also foster a sense of community and encouragement among the pastors, empowering them to continue their ministry despite the challenges they face. As we look to the future, AMP remains committed to strengthening these leaders, knowing that well-supported pastors are crucial to the spiritual and physical well-being of their communities.
The Siany and Nanga slums in Kisumu, Kenya, are home to many widows living with HIV. On our mission trips, we often visit these women and listen to their heartbreaking stories of struggle and loss.
​
Many of these widows not only lost their husbands to AIDS but were also infected by them. This tragic fate has turned their lives into a daily fight for survival. With the loss of their husbands, they lose their protection, provision, and security.
​
At African Missions Project (AMP), we are committed to changing their fate and offering them hope by showing them the love and compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ. The greatest need of these widows is food, as the powerful medications they take to combat the virus can make them very ill, or even lead to death, if taken without proper nutrition.
​
During our mission trips, we have the privilege of distributing 85 bags of food to these women and praying with them. Many have given their lives to Jesus Christ through our ministry, and their gratitude is evident in the tears of joy they shed.
​
Our short-term goal is to provide daily meals to these women through the Siany Orphan School, with the support of Pastor Mangooso Chelimo and his wife, Resila. For just $5 a week, you can feed a widow every day for an entire week. Our long-term goal is to eventually be able to feed all 150 HIV-infected widows of the Siany and Nanga slums.
​
If you feel called to be part of this James 1:27 ministry—where "Pure religion that pleases God our Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world"—we welcome your support.
