 The Team
Keith and Kathy Ham, CMF missionaries since 1991, serve in Nairobi, Kenya, with the urban poor. They have four children: Karisa, Kelsey, Jesse, and Jonathan. The main strategy they use to empower the poor is Community Health Evangelism, where people come together to identify their problems and seek solutions, using available resources.

Lee and Anne Marie Pruitt have served in Kenya with CMF since 1998. In Nairobi they will be involved in CHE and HIV/AIDS projects and develop discipleship programs for national church leaders. They are the parents of five children: Danielle, Adam, Michael, Paul, and Grace.

Bryan and Kelly Brock arrived in
Kenya in June 2008. Although they are just beginning their service together, Bryan comes with a lifetime of experience: he was born and raised in Kenya, where his parents served as CMF missionaries for 30 years. The Brocks will assist with short-term teams and work with the CHE and microenterprise projects. |
 Wallace and Mary Kamau became CMF International Associates in 2008, but they have been working with the urban poor of Nairobi since 2000 and are the founders and directors of the Mathare Family Hope Center in the Mathare Valley slum in Nairobi. They formed the Hope Partnership with the Hams in 2004. The Kamaus are the parents of three children: Faith, Victory and David. The CMF team works with a dedicated team of Kenyan believers. All serve for the same goal: to see the poor empowered with hope and the good news of Christ. |
Intense training is involved in the transformation of the different slum communities, including training in micro-enterprise, HIV/AIDS hospice care, nutrition, hygiene, disease prevention, evangelism, and discipleship. The goal of the team’s activity is to see people in the slums take responsibility for their own physical and spiritual health. This is done through three main objectives: empowerment of the poor, equipping the church in urban strategy, and effective evangelism at the point of people's needs.
