Discipleship

August 2017

120 Members of the Kiria commuity participated in a discipleship training program. The main purpose of this activity was to share the love of Christ with Kiria community members and to deepen the international partnership with members of the community. The team had a successful capacity-building program for pastors and community leaders. The most compelling topic was about the character in leadership, which was a great encouragement to the spiritual leaders. One man, in his elderly years, commited and gave his life to Christ!

Primary School Administrative Offices

August 2017

One of our very generous partner churches worked together with the community of Kiria to fund the addition to the Kiria Primary School. The school needed a place for their administrative team to work in. Here is the progress on the administration block being constructed at Kiria Primary School. Walls are complete and they’re preparing to install the roof. This block will include a staffroom, two offices, and a storage room.

  A Note from Our Founder

If we’ve spent any time together, you’ve probably heard me this before: pay attention to who walks through the front door. 

That was some early advice from my friend, Lanny, and it held the test of time. It’s important to keep a lookout for people suddenly crossing your path – God just might be introducing you to someone special. So, when Chris Joiner walked through our front door, I paid attention.  

In 2021, Chris reached out just to have a conversation. Over a few breakfasts, Chris and I discussed our shared passion for changing the way the West church engages the poor. At the time, Chris was working for another non-profit organization, but it quickly became clear that we both sought to create a lasting, meaningful impact on the lives of the poor.
