Christian missionary in Kenya

Would you like to meet a Christian missionary in Kenya - up close and personal? Well, you've come to the right place. As a matter of fact, we have not just one Christian missionary in Kenya, but a few. And you can get to know them by peeking into their journals (blogs) right now!

A few of the blogs in Kenya...

I won't list all of them here, but let me give you a few to get started with. First, check out Pure Christianity. Arguably the most popular of the missionary blogs out of Kenya, this one was started back in May 2005. The nice thing about this one is that both husband and wife blog from time to time. The Brooks family serve in Nakuru. Their ministry is varied, but they have a special heart for the orphans of Kenya. Their blog includes pictures, stories, personal thoughts on life and culture, and more.

The oldest blog out of Kenya is Compelled To Go, by Juli McGowan. Though writing much less often, Juli shares thoughtful posts and beautiful pictures that you won't want to miss. She started blogging in August 2004. Juli is a nurse with a real heart for the people of Kenya, especially its children. Find out how it all started in her first post.

Another blog we've been watching here is four_kennys. Blogging since the summer of 2006, we've been able to see the Kennys' progress from early on. The Kennys work in Muslim outreach and community development in Kenya. Kenyan boy

Another veteran blogger is Adele at Simplicity. Adele started her blog in the summer of 2004. She describes herself accurately as a global citizen - "I grew up in South Africa, lived in Taiwan for almost a decade, in the US for almost five years and am now living in Africa again, in Kenya."

Adele's blog is excellent, but we have an added bonus - Adele is also a photographer. She posts many of her photos on her blog, but she also posts many on Flickr. She generously shares many of her photos under the Creative Commons license, so if you're looking for pictures of Kenya, check them out!

And here's one more Christian missionary in Kenya - Cathy. Cathy has a full website with lots of information. Her blog was started in the summer of 2006. She was actually in Tanzania before Kenya, so she has an interesting cross cultural perspective. Coming from working in an elementary school in the USA, she focuses on serving children and children's workers. She oversees ministry not only in Kenya, but also in Ethiopia, Burundi, and Tanzania.

There's always more to see

Every once in a while I add another Christian missionary in Kenya to the aggregator on our home page. There are already some that I haven't written about here. For the latest on missionaries to Kenya and other parts of the world, keep tabs on Missionary Blog Watch.

And don't forget to encourage and support these missionaries. Did you know that nearly 35 million people live in Kenya? That there are still many language groups that don't have a Bible? That there is a major need for trained leaders in the Church? That life expectancy is less that 50 years? That most Kenyans live on less than US$1 per day? That a long lasting drought has made the situation even worse? Please remember to pray for Christian missionaries in Kenya.
