Africa Trip 2010

The Crossroads’ mission team participated in a very packed, exciting, and challenging ten days of ministry in Kenya. Each morning we ministered in schools, orphanages and prisons, as well as regional crusades in the evenings. This all culminated in the “All Church Feast,” which was our final event on Saturday afternoon. It was a wonderful experience to see local churches plan and gather at the crusades each evening and then come together for the huge feast on Saturday. Our worship team, along with local groups, provided the music. Most events took place in the Nairobi slums, including the well-known Kibera slum. It was powerful to see people come and give their lives to the Lord each day.

The sights, smells, and incredible hardships the people of Kenya face each day moved us. We were very touched by the warmth and beauty of the Kenyan people. The people we met and the things we saw will remain etched in our hearts and minds for a long time.

Our time in Kenya is not over. We foresee future trips, but for now we see great opportunities where each of us can bring change today.

How can you become involved?

Operation Two Fish Five Loaves

Crossroads Community Church and Christian faith-based ministries have come together and identified ways to help meet social and economic needs in Kenya, impacting poor communities. Projects include strengthening and building unity between local churches, bringing clean water and food to the poorest of the poor, helping orphanages and schools meet practical needs, which include food and health initiatives, and helping raise up future church and community leaders through educational channels.
