Organization: Kibe Africa Christian Mission
Location: Kenya
Mission: Since 2005, John and Tressi have been involved in ministry together in Kenya, Africa. It's their desire to see the lost come into the Kingdom of God and orphaned children to come to know and experience the love of God. They began their ministry in northwest Turkana, and then in 2006 they shifted their attention to Thika in central Kenya, which proved to be very challenging as it took longer to connect with the community than originally planned, but progress is being made. Recently they've been able to share about Christ through showing videos and connecting with established children centers and homes. They share the love of Christ through building relationships, story time, games and play. Also, they've assisted with some of the people's daily needs in the slums and in day-to-day witnessing - bring. Their plan is to help new converts go through a discipleship program. Tressi was a member of Arvada Covenant Church while going to school in Colorado.
