Impact Kenya-Nyahururu Launched

ELMIRA, ONTARIO - International Teams of Canada has adopted a Program in Kenya, to be known as "Impact Kenya-Nyahururu". This program, led by Wachira Ngamau and his organization "PACE Kenya", has a history of support from Harbour Fellowship Church in St. Catherine's, Ontario. Harbour Fellowship and International Teams are joining forces, to engage other Canadian churches and individuals to support this work in Kenya through long-term partnership, along with short-term teams and internships.

International Teams' partnership focus with PACE Kenya will include a Christian Academy, which welcomes orphans and street children, together with neighbourhood children. International Teams will also participate in a High School construction project, a community borehole project, a pastoral housing project and a school of theology.

Grindstone Church Team to Visit Uganda

Impact Uganda Leader Dave Adams will lead a team of 6 from Grindstone Church in Waterdown on their first ITCA missions trip to Uganda departing January 11.

The team will consist of Associate Pastor of Discipleship and Teaching, Matt Pamplin; Elder, Doug Veenstra; Paul Dear; Judi Martin; Irene Boonstra and Dave Adam's wife, Jennifer Adams. Gary Sharpe, Director of International Programs will also accompany the team. The Grindstone team will explore the possibility of a strategic partnership with Impact Uganda's national leader, Anne Mwangi.

During their inaugural visit, the Grindstone team will meet Anne for the first time and participate in the ministries she leads. They will teach at the ILTP (International Leadership Training Program) school, minister at the refugee ministry women's group, and serve in the children's feeding program.

A large amount of donated clothing will be distributed including 100 soccer uniforms. In addition, 25 backpacks and a digital camera have also been donated.

Two of the team members with construction experience will work on renovations and general repair in the ILTP building.

"This is a wonderful example of how International Teams helps churches help the poor," Adams said. "International Teams is brokering the relationship between a well-resourced Canadian church and a fledgling ministry to marginalized people in Uganda."
