Nairobi, Kenya

(ny-ROH-bee) – During the month of August, Kenyan youth have a holiday from boarding school and university studies. The youth of a church in Kikuyu (outside Nairobi) served the Lord during that month. The youth were trained to teach and lead Vacation Bible School (VBS) at their own church, and more than 350 children came over two days. The youth then traveled to remote villages in Kenya and taught other churches how to teach VBS. As a result, six churches were able to share the good news of Jesus with at least 100 children per church, which is 600 children. When the youth returned to their home church, they led the entire Sunday worship service. They led with great boldness in praise, worship, and the Word of God. Within two Sundays, the youth also chose to go to a revival rather than have fellowship together. The youth are on fire for Jesus and are setting the example of what growth looks like in the Kenyan church. Praise God that these young adults love Jesus and are making Him known!
