Now is the time.
“We have an opportunity to minister to them and to give them hope in Jesus.”
Minjila, which is located in the Tana River basin in Kenya, is home to global partner Shadrach*, who has helped launch six churches in the past 10 years. These six churches are comprised of 58 believers from among the approximately 75,000 people living in this predominantly Muslim area. The need to advance the gospel is astounding.

The population in Minjila has exploded in recent years. So many have fled to Minjila to escape flooding from unseasonal rains. These rains destroyed homes and devastated lands. Many came to Minjila temporarily for dry land but have decided to stay.
God is bringing so many to Shadrach’s community through these horrible natural disasters. “Now is the time to reach them with the gospel,” says Shadrach. “We have an opportunity to minister to them and to give them hope in Jesus.”
