Church planting
Hope Partnership planted one church in Nairobi in 2007 and is planning to begin four more in 2008.
The process begins when people are won to Christ through Community Health Evangelism activities or through follow-up with the parents of children sponsored by the Hope Partnership child sponsorship program.
The new Christians receive follow-up home visits from Hope’s trained social workers or Community Health Evangelists, who offer Bible teaching and discipleship. They are formed into home Bible study or cell groups for further teaching and spiritual growth. As they discover their ministry gifts and skills, they learn to use them in the group, and reach out to win others to Christ. These groups then enter an existing church or serve as the core team for a new church plant.
