Nairobi, Kenya

(ny-ROH-bee) –

Every year, teams of university students travel to Nairobi for seven to eight weeks in the summer. Each team stays in student housing and is partnered with a local church in the city. Each partner church identifies one or more universities in the area that they’d like to reach with the gospel. The students spend their summer on those campuses or around student hubs in the area making friends, sharing the gospel, and connecting students to the local church. United States International University is arguably the most secular university in Nairobi. That university is also full of students from all over Africa and even the Middle East. University outreach provides opportunities to share the gospel not only with Kenyans, but also with people from all over the globe. Pray for these student teams as they prepare to travel to Nairobi and pour out energy and love. Ask that the gospel will be clearly shared and that many people will seek to know God and the hope found in Christ. Pray for a spiritual awakening among students on university campuses this season. Pray that the student teams will be prepared to preach the word faithfully with great patience and careful instruction (2 Timothy 4:1-2).
