• Ethnic Groups: The region was populated by various ethnic groups, including Bantu and Nilotic peoples.

Trade and Colonization

• Arab Influence: From around 600 AD, Arab traders settled along the coast, establishing trade routes and cultural exchanges.
• British Colonization: In the late 19th century, Kenya became part of the British Empire, starting with the establishment of the British East Africa Protectorate in 1895.

Path to Independence

• Political Movements: The struggle for independence gained momentum in the 20th century, marked by the formation of the Kenya African Union and the Mau Mau Uprising against colonial rule.
• Independence: Kenya achieved independence from British rule on December 12, 1963, with Jomo Kenyatta as its first Prime Minister. The country became a republic in 1964.

CIYWR in Kenya
As with our other Revival outreaches, we purposely work with local pastors and religious leaders well in advance of our Crusades, during the Revivals, and afterwards. We have found this partnership to be the most effective in winning souls for Jesus Christ and making solid disciples of the new converts. Because of the large area, and population, we have found that we must be very strategic with our resources (both financially and with our time).

CIYWR At Work in Kenya
CIYWR’s evangelistic work in the Kenya includes Open Air Crusades (city and remote), Church Healing and Salvation Revivals, and Personal Outreach.

“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Acts 2: 38,39

CIYWR’s service work in the Kenya includes Hospital Visits, Ministering to the Poor, and local Church Growth and Outreach.

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.”
James 2: 20,24
