IMPACT KENYA

If you are looking for a unique, challenging, and perspective-shifting opportunity to serve God across the world and across cultures, this is it! Impact Kenya offers a short-term missions experience for individuals over 18 and families with teenagers. This is an intense yet exciting way to see how the body of Christ functions and how God can use you to make a difference in others' lives.

Our Plan

For many years, Princetown Church has been praying about developing unique relationships with foreign mission partners, especially local churches. God has opened the door for us to send a small team to build relationships with local churches in Kenya. The team will be ministering in Nairobi and Kisumu. If possible, we may send a small team to Uganda to support Bossa John and the Master Children Ministry. Our hope for the whole trip is that we can be a source of encouragement to those faithfully serving Jesus in Africa.

our Partner

Brian and Hellen McKeon, along with their nonprofit R3i, help local churches experience mission trips around the world. Brian, Hellen, and their family have been actively attending and involved with Princetown for the past year. The McKeons spent the previous three years in Kenya and have decades of experience connecting with churches there, which is Hellen’s original home. For our trip, the primary receiving church would be New City Nairobi, pastored by Dr. Joe Muutuki, where Brian is an elder.

What you should know

This trip is for you if…
  • You are an individual 18 or older (post High School), or a family traveling with your teen (13 or older)
  • Looking for an exciting way to challenge yourself and grow in your faith as you experience and serve people from a different culture.

What is the trip?
  • We will spend 15-18 days in Nairobi and Kisumu, Kenya, leaving sometime between July 24-27.
  • Part of our time will be spent helping New City Fellowship with their ministry in Nairobi, an international, modern city. The other part of the trip will be serving a more rural church in the western Kenyan town of Kisumu.
  • Max of 12 people on the trip. If you aren't selected for this trip, we plan on taking more trips in the future.
  • A small contingent of the group may go to Jinja, Uganda, to support Bossa John and the Master Children Ministry.

What can you expect?
  • DO NOT expect this to be a casual vacation. We won't be staying at 5-star resorts.
  • Kenya is a nation listed as a "Moderate" risk for travel. There is some crime, but our trip's risk level is low. We will be avoiding unsafe areas and situations.
  • You can expect to be stretched and pushed in your capacities. There will be times in the trip that will require physical and spiritual exertion. Please make sure you are in good physical, mental, and spiritual health if you plan to participate.
  • However, you can also expect to see the Lord show Himself, His good works, and ultimately His glory in powerful and life-changing ways throughout this experience.
