Welcome Friend,
With periodic drought conditions in many East Africa areas, Special Ministries searched for answers to the problems being experienced by Kenyans in various tribal areas. We researched the needs and found that the complexity of these problems required not only immediate responses, but long term rehabilitation and recovery for the people. God in His wisdom, gave us the concept of Hope Centers.
We learned the value of concentrated efforts of pastors, staff, and lay workers all working together, and the sharing of responsibilities by the local people themselves.
In 1984, our first Hope Center was built consisting of a newly planted church, a clinic and a school for the many children who had never attended school before. Our oldest student in First Grade was a 20 year old Maasai warrior who wanted to learn how to read his new Bible. The staff were local people, including our Pastor, teachers and a local nurse well trained in a mission hospital.
Now in 2008, there are ten Hope Centers scattered in several Districts of Kenya, and being used of God to bring help, healing and hope to people who were lost and without hope. All the Hope Centers are at various stages of development, but all are making a difference in thousands of lives each day.
YOU can help us make that difference. Read on to find out how. Then call us or send an email to become our partner in this urgent ministry. There is still time! Mama Newman, the founder and Executive Director of Special Ministries, would be happy to talk with you.
