We want to invite you to join us on an incredible journey to East Africa, June 1 - 10, 2023. It will be a magical and inspiring ten days! You will experience a Swahili worship service in an African church, the excitement of serving a needy community in Nairobi, Kenya, and God’s wonderful creation on the Masai Mara. Sign up immediately as space is limited. We look forward to being with you and sharing this amazing adventure in one of the most beautiful places in the world! Kimbo PEFA Church is a 5000-member Gospel Church located in Kimbo, a village on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya's capital city. The church is fully committed to outreach, as evidenced by the many projects that they have completed for the community. The Library Project is one of the greatest projects that the Lord has allowed the church to accomplish. This project is aimed at reaching the younger generation in the community by providing them with a safe place to study. The church works with local schools and orphanages, hosts medical clinics, and provides clean water to the village. There are many opportunities to serve at Kimbo. The Masai Mara is at the top of most safari wish lists. This massive, picturesque reserve is the location for both BBC’s Big Cat Diary and Disney's African Cats. It is also the location of the "Great Migration," one of the natural wonders of the world. The Masai Mara is a gloriously beautiful, wildlife-rich savannah landscape, often described by biologists as one of the last remaining places free of modern human meddling. It is also a region where traditionally dressed Masai still herd their cattle and goats in a lifestyle that has changed very little since they first arrived centuries ago. Together with the Serengeti National Park, the Masai Mara forms Africa's most diverse and spectacular ecosystem which is why many consider it the top safari viewing location in the world.
