To prepare God’s people for works of service


Ephesians 4:12 says: “To prepare God’s people for works of service.” This is our theme as we minister in Africa.

East Africa School of Theology (EAST) is a Pentecostal Training Center shaping servant leaders for strategic global impact through Spirit empowered ministry. EAST has been vital in preparing ministers for Kenya and East Africa for over 25 years. EAST is growing by the hand of God to try to keep up with the phenomenal growth of the church. In 2001 EAST had 116 students. This year (2007) the enrollment is 524. Students are actively involved in student ministries and missions. Every term hundreds of people are won to the Lord through the students. Please pray for EAST as it seeks charter with the government, launches new extension sites across the country, and plants churches and conducts missions throughout East Africa. Thank you for giving to EAST. Every dollar given enables ministers to be trained to reach the lost of East Africa.

God has prepared us to teach. We are excited to go and fulfill God’s call on our lives. We are able to live in Nairobi, Kenya and teach at East Africa School of Theology (EAST).

EAST is a Bible college preparing men and women from all over East Africa for ministry. Students come from surrounding countries to become knowledgeable and effective in pastoring and ministering in their lands. They come hungry and eager to learn. They come with real questions from real life experiences wanting to learn so that they can fulfill God’s call on their lives.

The students are praying for teachers. When we visited in November of 1998 we taught a class on Romans and Galatians. The students were challenging and refreshing.
