About Missionary Training Colleges

WEC understands the importance of proper training and preparation for cross-cultural mission. Hence, we have several colleges around the world, which specialise in training Christians for mission.

Teaching includes input on theology and biblical interpretation, along with mentoring, and practical guidance on evangelism, outreach and ministry skills. Hands-on experience of outreach is also a core component of this training, enabling students to put the theory into practice.

With colleges in Australia,  Kenya, the Netherlands, and New Zealand (in English), Brazil (em português), Mexico (en español), residential and online training is within reach for any aspiring missionary.

About East Africa

WEC works in 9 countries of Sub-Saharan Africa, and also seconds workers to partner organisations and churches in other African countries.

Our teams seek to work together with local churches to show and speak of the compassion of Jesus to those who have not heard in order to see churches established among them.  

WEC in Africa also seeks to train, mobilize and facilitate local Christians for cross-cultural mission through our Africa Sending branch, and we rejoice in the opening of the new Anchor Missions Training centre at Kaserian, Kenya, in 2025.

We cannot give details online about all the countries, situations and opportunities we have found where you can serve in East Africa, but we will be able to tell you more when you meet us face to face.

This is an exciting time for the African continent - many challenges but also many opportunities. Why not join us in the adventure?

About Kenya

Kenya in East Africa has a population of over 47.6 million (2019 census). Kenya's capital and largest city is Nairobi, and its oldest and first capital is the port city of Mombasa, while Kisumu serves as an inland port on Lake Victoria.

Kenya's geography, climate and population vary from cold snow-capped mountain tops and forests, to fertile temperate climates in the west and rift valley, with semi-arid areas and deserts in the north.

Kenyan's coast was explored by Arab and Indian merchants for centuries. In 1414, the Chinese trader and explorer Zheng He visited the East African coast and the Malindi port authoritieswelcomed the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama in 1498.

In the 17th century, the Swahili coast was conquered by Omani Arabs, who expanded the slave trade to meet the demands of plantations in Oman and Zanzibar. The Portuguese started buying slaves from the Omani and Zanzibari traders. German missionaries Johann Ludwig Krapf (1810-1881) and Johannes Rebmann (1820-1876) established a mission in Rabai, near Mombasa, and worked among the Kamba people.

Britain took over sovereignty of coastal East Africa from Germany in 1890 and brought Indian workers to build the Uganda Railway from Mombasa to Lake Victoria and to introduce tea plantation.

In 1920, East Africa Protectorate was renamed Kenya after its highest mountain.1952 to 1959 the Mau Mau people rebelled against British rule. Kenya's first referendum was held in 1962 on the issue of Somalis living in Kenya. On 12 December 1964 the Republic of Kenya was proclaimed, and Jomo Kenyatta became Kenya's first president.

Kenya is a democratic republic with an elected president. Nairobi serves East Africa as a major regional commercial hub.

Kenya's climate varies from tropical along the coast to temperate inland to arid in the north and northeast parts of the country. Tea and coffee are traditional cash crops, while fresh flowers are a fast-growing export. The important agricultural sector is one of the least developed and largely inefficient

Tourism is also a major economic driver. Considerable land area devoted to wildlife habitats, including the Masai Mara, where wildebeest cross the River Mara during the Serengeti Migration. The Kalenjin people are renowned for their distance running.

Kenyans drink sweetened milk tea with chapati bread. Ugali (a stodgy dumpling texture made out of maize flour) is eaten with vegetables, sour milk, and sometimes meat or fish for lunch or supper. Other staple foods are rice, sweet potatoes and yams.

According to KNBS in 2019, Kenya had a total population of 47,564,296. The largest indigenous groups are the Kikuyu (8.1 million), Luhya (6.8m), Kalenjin (6.3m), Luo (5m), Kamba (4.6m), Somali (2.8m), Kisii (2.7m), Mijikenda (2.5m), Meru (2m), Maasai (1.2m), and Turkana (1m). Of these the largest unreached groups are the Maasai,Turkana,Oromo,Somali,Digo,Samburu and Arabs.

Around 74 languages are spoken in Kenya, but it's two official languages are English and Swahili. 

85.5% of  Kenyans are Christian, with 53.9% Protestant and 20.6% Roman Catholic.  Islam is the second largest religion (10.9% of the population), and Hinduism has around 60,287 adherants. Kenya has a growing Christian gospel music scene.

Pray for Kenya
Ethnic groups often clash over limited resources, particularly because of environmental fragility. Fast-growing population, widespread poverty, spreading urban slums, and urgent need for land reform, often creates tensions in society. The political scene is challenged with tribalism and corruption. Pray for peace, wise governance, and practical, sustainable, long-term solutions that work for the whole of the nation.

Kenya has a massive evangelical presence. Nearly 50% of the population are affiliated to evangelical churches, as well as Protestant, Independent, Anglican, and Catholic backgrounds! Pentecostals experienced rapid recent growth. Yet there is still corruption and Somalia shares a border, so terrorists and international drug traffickers use Kenya as a base. Pray for Christians to unite to oppose wrongdoing, and to promote policies that honour God. Kenya needs a just and honest government that will uplift the poor and punish the wicked.
