e393c251-99c0-404f-b4ac-34ea18e8cf3f Follow me: a disciple knows and follows Jesus When we look at the life of Jesus, it is very clear that his mind and his worldview were deeply formed by the Scriptures. As we read the Gospels, we see that he was literate, conversant, and passionate about the Word of God. And he calls his followers to be the same. A disciple of Jesus needs to understand and embrace the essential teachings of the Bible. Each month we will explore an essential doctrine of God’s Word through video and print resources. We hope that you will find these helpful in your discipleship journey.

We do not have to quit our jobs and move to a foreign country to participate in the mission of Jesus. We do it right where we live and work and play. Each month on this page we will offer practical guidance on how to join Jesus in the work he is already doing in the lives of those around us.

KENYA PAUL MBUTE Tell me more about your mission? Through Compassion International, our Githunguchu Children’s Center aims to release our local children from their spiritual, physical, social, and economical poverty. At Compassion, we enable them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults. What are some victories I can celebrate with you? Through our partnership with Compassion International and Cedarbrook Community Church, we have seen lasting transformation of our children through quality and affordable education, as well as the ability to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the community. We have also enjoyed hosting a team from Cedarbrook many times over the years and welcome you all back to Kenya again soon! What are some of the challenges you face? Our community has the challenge of a lack of basic needs and quality schools. Generational and widely-accepted poverty is a significant challenge to overcome here. How can I pray for you? Please pray that God enables us to service the entire community where our children’s center is located in Githunguchu. How can I support you? Cedarbrook members can continue to generously sponsor our needy children in Githunguchu (project KE324) through the Compassion International sponsorship program.
