Kenya

Since the early 1990s, FPC has engaged in God’s mission alongside many different organizations and individuals in Kenya. Currently, we celebrate long-term mission partnerships with two ministries:

ST. ANDREW’S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

For more than 25 years, FPC has partnered with St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Nairobi. St. Andrew’s is part of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA). Currently, our engagement with the congregation of St. Andrew’s focuses on the following: Mutual visits – St. Andrew’s members visit us in Atlanta, and we visit them in Nairobi each year travel is possible. Visits include worship and table fellowship. Children’s ministry – financial support of Tumaini, a home for girls, and Hawa, a home for boys and community school.

MT. KENYA ACADEMY

FPC also supports the social outreach efforts of the Mt. Kenya Academy (MKA) in Nyeri, Kenya, including the following:

• Micro-loans – Students from MKA provide bookkeeping support and mentoring for women in the nearby towns of Chaka and Kirathima who receive micro-loans to establish and maintain businesses such as raising livestock, market stalls, hair salons, and small restaurants. The women participating in the program are members of the PCEA congregations in Chaka and Kirathima.

• Scholarship – FPC also supports an annual scholarship for a financially disadvantaged student to attend MKA.
