Meet...the Junior Swanepoels

Grant, Abby, Caity, Loki, Owen and Miles

Here is a very special family. They live in Kurungu which is a 2-3 hour drive from Korr among people of the Samburu tribe.

I stayed with them several times in the last year, including the Christmas holidays. I greatly appreciated their warm welcome, discussions about missionary life, learning words in Africaans and playing with the children.

Grant teaches local men how to understand and teach the Bible. Lots of church leaders in Kenya lack a depth of knowledge about who God is and about the Bible. For many of these men, formal university training is not appropriate. Grant at the Kurungu Bible Training Centre aims to teach them the Bible so that they grow in their own faith, can teach the others and lead their congregations. 

He is also seeking to train other Bible teachers in the in order that they may teach others...ie set up more local Bible training Centres in northern Kenya.

Check out their Nomad's Pulpit Facebook page for details and news of their work as well as some of Grant's wonderful photography.
