Church Pastor: Bishop Simon Kahora
Bethel Ministries
KAG is a large, well-established church that serves as the head of the Assemblies of God churches in the region. The church facilities include a stone-block sanctuary that seats about 300 with several attached offices and a separate tin/wood building that holds four large classrooms and two small offices, which are used by the center counselors. The church also runs a home for orphans on its property and manages several projects including greenhouses, bio-gas production facilities and chicken/rabbit-breeding programs.
The KAG center began work with its first group of clients in January 2010. The recruitment went much faster than expected - a testament to the extreme need in the community. The church and pastor have been very involved with the program ever since. They have helped to collect and distribute clothes for clients and even sponsored some of the clients’ children for secondary school. Through Vision Trips, CFA has helped to paint some of the church buildings and construct a chicken coop.
