    Our ministry is looking to engage the services of a water well drilling company in Kenya to get clean water to areas where it is needed. Can someone direct me to resources that would be able to guide us. Thank you.

    This is not how the Lord Jesus Christ wanted his truth to be known- by registering churches and receiving their money. Not at all. if this were a real drive for the truth of the matter the government would be asking for a statement of faith from all these churchs and determining which is the truth taught in kenya. needing a certificate of theology for preaching- come now where in the scriptures is this taught. it is laughable you people who make this registration. Your people are hungry, starving in fact, and you reintroduce statures like this- Oh Lord open their eyes that they see how blind these people in power are being- allow then to be fed so that they an study their bibles in peace and quiet with out false churches creeping in the deceving the people. May it soon come to pass.

    Our church intends to register a subsidiary or branch in Kenya. We have members in Nairobi, Kitale and Kakuma Refugee camp. This registration will cover them to operate legally in Kenya. We are registered in South Sudan. As Chairperson of the Church Internationally though I don’t intend to reside in Kenya I want to be among the officials. What do we need?
