North Kenya Borana Mission
 
Overview
 
For more than twenty-five years, our church has faithfully supported the North Kenya Borana Mission. We thank God that the ministry continues to expand its reach, strengthen local churches, and bring the hope of the Gospel to many communities.
 
Evangelism & Outreach
 
Lives Reached
  • 8,441 individuals were reached through evangelism efforts this year.
  • Approximately 1,316 people confessed faith in Jesus Christ as Savior.
Evangelism Approaches
 
To effectively engage diverse communities, the ministry used multiple outreach methods:
  • One-to-one evangelism
  • Home visitations
  • Small group gatherings
  • Film showings
  • Large-scale outreach events
This multi-layered approach allowed the Gospel to reach people in both personal and community settings.
 
Baptism & Discipleship
 
  • Out of the 1,316 new believers, 117 were baptized after completing new believer and discipleship training.
  • Baptisms were conducted in three congregations:
    • Dirib Gombo
    • Walda
    • Moyale
These new believers are now being integrated into their local churches for continued spiritual growth.
 
Church Planting & New Mission Areas
 
In 2025, the ministry expanded into new locations:
  • New ministry sites were established in Badanota and Marsabit Town, laying groundwork for future church planting.
Worship Environment Improvements
 
  • A rental worship space was secured for the Moyale congregation.
  • This addressed previous challenges caused by:
    • Flooding during rainy seasons
    • Strong winds
    • Safety concerns with temporary shelters
  • Electricity and essential utilities were installed, creating a safer and more stable worship environment.
Financial Overview
 
Mission expenditures in 2025 increased compared to the previous year. We thank God for the sacrificial giving of supporting church members in Nairobi, whose partnership remains vital for sustaining the mission.
 
Ongoing Prayer Needs
 
Please continue to pray for the mission, especially regarding:
  1. Religious Opposition
    • Resistance encountered during evangelism activities
    • Limited openness among some communities to hear the Gospel
  2. Logistical & Mobility Needs
    • Limited transportation for ministry work
    • High travel costs that affect outreach capacity
    • Challenges in conducting follow-up visits
    • Financial pressures on missionary families
Additional Outreach Support
As part of our broader mission commitment, we also provided:
  • Support for Great Commission Ministry (Ethiopia)
  • Support — FOCUS Ministry
  • Support Bethel Children House, Adama
    • This center cares for abandoned children, children with autism, and those with various health needs.
  • Outreach Ministry & Humanitarian Support
    At Ebenezer Oromo Evangelical Church, we believe that the love of Christ must be lived out in practical ways. Our Outreach Ministry exists to bring hope, dignity, and compassionate support to those who are walking through seasons of deep loss and hardship.
  • We extend humanitarian financial assistance to widows who have lost not only their beloved husbands, but also the primary providers and pillars of their families. In many cases, this loss leaves families facing overwhelming emotional and economic challenges.  
    In addition, we assist those who are struggling under severe poverty and economic hardship. For some, daily necessities such as food, shelter, and medical care are ongoing challenges. Through the generous giving of our congregation and partners, we strive to provide relief and restore hope.
We thank God for what He has done through these outreach efforts and invite the congregation to continue praying, giving, and participating in the Great Commission.
