A new church in the London neighborhood of Narok, a town west of Nairobi in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya, will open its doors this Sunday, June 7, according to CMF missionary Joe Cluff. The church is a new plant from the Community Christian Church of Narok, and has been in the planning stages for three years.

“The biggest hold-up was land,” said Joe. “The group finally found a plot they can rent and will construct a semi-permanent building using 40 pieces of mabati (roofing tin) and some cedar posts that they collected.”

Elijah Kisaine will serve as the pastor at the new church plant. He has worked as the assistant to John Saitet, the senior pastor of the Narok church, for several years.

“On Thursday, people from the church will go door-to-door to evangelize,” said Joe. “They will have a crusade on Friday and Saturday, and then the first service will be on Sunday.”

“The church is doing this entirely on their own initiative and with their own funds,” Joe added. “God is good!”
