About

It all started when...

My name is Nathan Kisakui Oloumu. I am a Maasai from Kenya. We live in Kumpa Location, Namanga Division, Kajiado District, Rift-Valley Province, Kenya, East Africa. We are located in the southern parts of Kenya which borders Kenya and Tanzania.

I am a graduate from the Bear Valley School of preaching extension school. I am the gospel preacher at the Church of Christ Leboo. I am working to help establish faithful congregations in Maasai land. We have started this effort of reaching out to many Maasai villages that have never heard the gospel with the gospel and we have established over 30 faithful congregations so far.

We are also working with the orphans and vulnerable children here in Maasai land. We have over 62 orphans under our care at this time. We have constructed a modern house {orphanage} that will accommodate these children. We are furnishing the orphanage at this time and we look forward to taking them in mid-December.

We have also constructed a Christian elementary school where the orphans’ children can get their education. The orphans will get their education here but also the children from the surrounding community can come and learn here. Those who are not orphans are coming from their homes study and go home in the evening but the orphans study and remain in the orphanage.

We are having a men training program where we teach all the men in our congregation every first and third Saturdays of every month. We have been doing this for a year now or so and we look forward to starting a school of preaching on January near year. All the plans are in place and we are prayerfully looking forward to having a school of preaching. We will take 40 men for train in every intake.

The great challenge that we face here as a community is the lack of water. There are no wells in several villages. People will walk for over 7 Kilometers to get to the nearest water source. As for the orphanage will need help to get a well and also get tanks to harvest the rain water. The wells are drilled at a deep of 200-250 meters deep. The cost of drilling a well and equipping it is $ 18,000 { this included the drilling, equipping and tanks installation}Detailed invoice here. Please help us in this matter.
