The Maseno Project was set up six years ago after members of a North London church visited the Maseno District of Kenya.
During their visit they noticed that the area comprised of hundreds of tiny plots of land, that poor farming methods were being used, that crops were sparse and so people had little to eat and that many of the men who would traditionally have worked the land had left to work in local towns.
The team from North London felt that God was telling them to start Farm Schools to transform the lives of people in this area of Kenya by teaching effective farming techniques and by sharing the life changing love and power of God that all can enjoy. The Project is all about the Kingdom of God breaking through into the World.Soul survivor, St Peters and Christ church are apart of this Project. This summer, a group of us from Soul survivor went out to Maseno, to see what it is like in the area, and how it is being helped. We visited the farm schools, experienced church services and helped with the orphan feeding program. We also visited some child headed families and many other things.
The visit was an amazing experience and really helped show us how the project was changing lives of those in the community and those who were in the actual project itself. We saw many different people’s farms all at different stages of the project. The project doesn’t only teach them how to farm to bring the best results, but also teaches them of the kingdom of God and how there is a God that loves each and every one ofus.
