We continue to witness first-hand why the Churches Under the Tree Initiative matters.
Across Kenya, KAG is planting churches rapidly, but nearly 400 congregations are still meeting without permanent structures. Many gather under trees, exposed to the harsh sun, heavy rains and flooding. Without a safe and permanent place to worship, it can be difficult for these churches to grow and establish a lasting presence in their communities.
Through the Churches Under the Tree Project, KAG, in partnership with AGWM Africa, is working to help these congregations move from under the tree into permanent, dignified places of worship. These structures provide more than a building; they anchor the Gospel in the heart of a community.
We were blessed as we visited and fellowshipped with two KAG congregations in Turkana that currently meet under trees. We worshipped with them, shared fellowship, and distributed food to members of the community.
We are grateful to be here alongside our friends from Convoy of Hope, Jason McClafin and Greg Beggs, witnessing the need, serving our brothers and sisters, and believing God for what He can do through this partnership.
Our prayer is that, by His grace, these churches will soon have their own tabernacles, places where people can gather safely, where children can grow in faith, and where the Gospel can continue to take root for generations to come.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
From under the tree to a permanent church. From a place of gathering to an established Gospel presence. We believe God is building His Church. 🙏🏽
