About the ministry
A week at Jepegomi
On Sunday the congregation meets for worship in Kahawa Sukari. During the week, Jepegomi Academy teaches children from kindergarten to Grade 6, and every pupil gets porridge in the morning and a cooked lunch at midday. Alongside the school, the Contextual Bible Training College teaches the Bible to adults.
All of it is led by Pastors Dr Simon & Dr Joyce Nderitu.

About the academy
Current project
The kitchen upgrade
The academy's new kitchen and store room are built and in use, cooking for all 131 pupils every school day. A partner church in the United States funded the build.
The last stage is the dining area beside it: a water tank, a proper floor, and plaster and power in the hall.
Leadership
Pastors Dr Simon & Dr Joyce Nderitu
Dr Simon and Dr Joyce both hold doctorates. They lead the church in Kahawa Sukari and oversee the academy, the Bible college and the feeding programme.
Giving
What is being raised for now
Four projects are open: the kitchen's dining area, a bus for the academy, a new playground, and the equipment the Sunday services are streamed on.
Each has its own page, with photographs of where things stand and what is still needed.
