Kenya – a key country for
mission in the rest of Africa

Jan Ernst Gabrielsen lived with his wife Ingebjørg and their 3 children in Kenya from 1973 to 1979, working as a missionary in the Pentecostal movement called East Africa Pentecostal Churches. During the last 3 years the focus was on planting new churches among the unreached tribes in northern Kenya, and it was also during that time that he had contact with Bible school students from Sudan and Ethiopia who were part of church-planting work there. Since that time he had been visiting that movement to have meetings and seminars once a year until 2003, when it became 3 to 4 times a year. Now there are about 1,200 local churches in Kenya which co-operate in this church denomination that is still growing and has started its own mission activity which sends out Kenyan missionaries to many other countries and to unreached areas in its own country.


Kenya – a mission country which
sends out its own missionaries

The big Pentecostal movement, East Africa Pentecostal Churches, has sent many missionaries to Sudan, as well as to Uganda and Tanzania. They have partly been supported by Norway, but now they have started their own mission organization which collects monthly support in the churches in Kenya for the maintenance of missionary Fesus Yawa in Sudan.
