Kenya is recognized as the home of some of Africa's most beautiful and best preserved game reserves, yet the human suffering in Kenya is not as well known.. With the world's fastest growing population (4.5 percent annually), Kenya is struggling under poverty, authoritarian political rule, and massive urbanization. The National Council of Churches of Kenya is the world's largest, providing grassroots development projects throughout the country. The Presbyterian Church of East Africa maintains a network of the best health facilities and educational institutions in the country.

We relate to two partner organizations which deal with problems throughout Africa. They are the All Africa Conference of Churches, Africa's regional ecumenical body, and the Project for Christian Muslim Relations in Africa, which specializes in promoting understanding between adherents of Africa's two mission-planted faiths.

Pray for: The clergy and members of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church of Nairobi and their far reaching programs of care and evangelism in Kenya's capital city.

The patients and staff of the world-class Kikuyu Hospital, operated by the Presbyterian Church of East Africa, and especially for its ophthamalgic unit.
