How, then, can they call on the One they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Romans 10:14,15
Our Missions/ Outreach Team

You too can make a difference by joining us in any of the following ventures. Read through what’s happening and get ready to be part of The Great Commission along with us right here at Chapel. Continue to check back with us as we will be updating this website often. We also invite you to pray each month for the on-going missions.
OUTREACH
Institutions
We have began engaging the Kenya Science Meteorological Department with the view of partnering with the Christian community in order to reach students.
For information about institutions outreach contact George Mwangi: georgemwangi@nairobichapel.org
Kibera Pastor’s Network
K-Krew – K-Krew seeks to reach young people through music events mostly held at high schools around the country – this year alone 400 people have given their lives to Christ at 12 high schools, 3 campuses and 2 prisons (Kamiti Maximum and Langata Women’s Prison). Wow!
Volunteers are needed to join in the missions as counselors and mentors to the children .
For information about upcoming events, check out ‘Kubamba Krew’ on Facebook or send an email to info@kubamba.com.
Church Planting
Prison Ministry – The Jamhuri Short Term Prison sits on the edge of the expansive Jamhuri showgrounds, a walking distance from Nairobi Chapel. The prison houses up to 200 inmates (men) charged with petty crimes like touting or hawking, for a period of 3-6 months. Many in-mates once released soon find themselves back in prison due to a lack of sustainable income or mentoring process.
This ministry began March 6th this year, and Nairobi Chapel continues to hold a service at the prison every Sunday from 8:30-10:30am. In the first 2 months of Chapel’s engagement at the prison, near 100 men have given their lives to the Lord – Praise God! We as a church are committed to disciple the men and encourage them to join a Bible based church in their respective towns/neighbourhoods upon their release.
Participation – Everyone is welcome to donate basic supplies for inmates – soap, toilet paper, mattresses, Vaseline, slippers, – Volunteers are needed for praise and worship, preaching, counseling (both spiritual and legal) every Sunday morning .
The team is currently putting together “Free Release Packs” to be given at the gate to freed men whom have recently accepted salvation in Christ. The purpose is to assist men in assimilating back into life. As they are now free in Christ and free in civil terms, it is important for them to receive encouragement, discipleship and counseling. You can help by donating items for the packs. A list of items is coming soon…
We also are calling upon business owners to hire or train these young men as they are not hardened criminals, but people needing a chance to make a living (some of these young men were falsely accused or happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time e.g. bystanders during a hawkers raid).

Nairobi Chapel Missions Calendar 2011
August: Church-Wide Missions Month
In the month of August we will be calling on all our eGroups to undertake a mission outreach activity. Each group can begin to pray and plan the kind of outreach event they would like to do – the possibilities are limitless! Feel free to contact the Missions Department for event ideas or to collaborate on larger projects with fellow eGroups.
October: Tujuane
Background – Acts 1:8 commands us to begin witnessing in our immediate zones, which for Chapel include Ngando, Jamhuri, Jampark, Suna, Santack, Dagoretti and Kibera. Outreach events include soccer tournaments, girls outreach, concerts and a medical clinic.
Participation – All are welcome to take part in the various activities planned. We especially request the participation of anyone who lives in Ngando and prayerfully challenge business owners and investors to take part in the micro-enterprise initiatives that will leave a legacy for generations to come. All are invited to participate in prayer walks throughout Ngando every other Saturday morning in preparation for Tujuane.
For more information about Tujuane contact Collins Ouma: collinsouma@nairobichapel.org
November: Ethiopia
Background – Part of Nairobi Chapel’s vision is to plant 300 churches by the year 2020. One key strategy is to have a church plant in each capital city of Africa which in turn will plant churches in other parts of their respective country. With over 85 million people, Ethiopia is the second most populous nation in Africa – Addis Ababa’s population is at 3.5 million.
The purpose of this mission is to research and network in Addis Ababa, to lay groundwork and raise awareness for the future Trinity Chapel Addis Ababa. One of our Kinara pastors-in-training, Esayas Solomon, hails from Ethiopia and will head this mission.
Participation – Only Kinara Leadership Development Program participants and the Nairobi Chapel Missions Department are scheduled to go on this mission. That being said you can still be a major player in this mission by offering financial support for the cause. The Kinara interns will be fundraising for the trip, so if you are willing and able to donate funds to help make this trip happen it would be greatly appreciated.
*If you have any contacts in Addis Ababa or know anyone in Nairobi that might be a good resource for us to partner with or simply talk to, please let us know.
For more information about Ethiopia contact George Mwangi: georgemwangi@nairobichapel.org
March: Congo
Background – Beni is a town in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with a population of slightly over 100,000 people. Chapel sent a team in 2004 that held several youth meetings at various churches in the area as well as leadership development programs. We are planning to return in March with K-Krew who will also hold Totally Sold Out (TSO) outreach events along the way – Kampala (Uganda) and Kigali (Rwanda)
Participation – All are welcome to join. The cost will be communicated as plans are finalized.
