Jesus People Gospel Ministries

The church at the centre of it.

The congregation in Kahawa Sukari. The academy, the college and the feeding program all belong to this church, and visitors are welcome.

A church, a school, a Bible college, and a hot meal every day.

Kahawa Sukari, Nairobi, Kenya

Jesus People Gospel Ministries is a church in Kahawa Sukari, Nairobi, Kenya, led by Pastor Simon & Joyce Nderitu. Alongside it stand Jepegomi Academy, the Contextual Bible Training College, and the Food at School program.

Worship, education, training, and the meals that keep a classroom learning. It is one ministry, and all of it is the work.

  • A man standing at a lectern reading to rows of seated children

    The pupils' service, in the sanctuary at Kahawa Sukari.

  • A long line of children in green uniform standing outdoors at assembly, a teacher reading to them

    Morning assembly at the academy.

  • Children in green uniform queueing along a wall, plates in hand

    The Food at School lunch queue, every school day.

Current needs

Finish the kitchen with us

Every one of those meals now comes out of a kitchen of its own. A partner church in the United States built it with us, and it has been cooking every school day since. Three things would finish the job: a water tank, a proper floor where the children eat, and plaster and power in the dining hall.

  • The finished kitchen — plastered walls, a tiled roof and a chimney, standing in the school yard
  • A wood fire burning in the new jiko, a pot on the plate above it
  • Rows of red plates filled with rice and beans, laid out ready for the children

Get the children to school

The same partner church that built the kitchen has given toward getting the academy's van running again.

Beyond that, the school has outgrown a van. A 26-seater bus carries it as it is today and leaves room for the children still to come, and the whole cost of it is still to raise.

Meet them

Stand with the whole ministry

A gift to Jepegomi goes into all of it: the church on Sunday, the classroom on Monday, the college that trains the next teachers, and the meal a child eats at school tomorrow.
