Kenya Church Planting Initiative

Planting Churches
in Nairobi.

A locally-led, globally-connected effort to establish multiplying churches in Kenya — led by men shaped by the NAMS mission and ready to build.

NAMS Mission

Plant Multiplying Churches by Equipping and Training Pioneering Global Church Planters

Introduction

A New Season in Kenya

Kenya has long been part of the NAMS story. There are men and women in Nairobi who have been shaped by NAMS training, who understand what a disciple-making church looks like, and who carry a vision for planting one. This initiative is about releasing them to do it.

Following a season of prayer, reflection, and strategic planning, NAMS Network is formally re-engaging in Kenya with a clear structure, named leaders, and a commitment to accountability on both sides of the relationship.

Two ministry streams

Two Streams, One Goal

The Kenya team has organized their work into two complementary ministry streams, both oriented toward the same long-term purpose: establishing healthy, multiplying churches in Kenya.

Stream One

Fellowship, Leadership & Church Planting

Rebuilding the NAMS Kenya fellowship community, developing ministry leaders, and pursuing a church plant under pastoral and denominational accountability — with Kenya Assemblies of God oversight.

Led by Edwin Wang'endo Wanjiku
Stream Two

Skills & Sports Outreach

A six-month pilot reaching young people in three Nairobi children's homes through media skills training, football and netball ministry, and integrated discipleship — creating the relational networks from which future congregations grow.

Led by Victor Mbuguah
The team

Locally Rooted Leadership

This work is locally rooted. The leaders carrying it are not outside imports — they are Kenyans who know their city, who have been trained by NAMS, and who have counted the cost of what it means to plant a church.

Edwin Wang'endo Wanjiku
NAMS Ambassador, Kenya

Bachelor of Theology, Presbyterian University of East Africa. NAMS GAP Graduate. Pursuing pastoral preparation under Kenya Assemblies of God for church planting.

Victor Mbuguah

Accountability

Built for Accountability

Sustainable mission work requires clear accountability. Edwin and Victor report quarterly to NAMS global leadership, with an annual review each year. Any financial request goes through a formal written process reviewed by the NAMS board. We believe in building carefully, relationally, and with full transparency.

NAMS Network is a registered nonprofit. All gifts are tax-deductible and stewarded with full accountability to our board.

Give to Kenya

Be Part of Planting Churches in Nairobi

This is not a large campaign. It is a small group of faithful people asking a small group of faithful donors to stand behind locally-led church planting work in one of East Africa's largest cities.

Your gift goes directly toward establishing NAMS Kenya — funding ministry activity, making it possible for NAMS global to be present at key moments, and giving Edwin and Victor the backing they need to do what they have been trained and called to do: plant a church that plants churches.

Every gift, at any level, moves this forward.

NAMS Network is a registered 501(c)(3). All gifts are tax-deductible.
