Kenya

Kenya celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its independence in 2013. Kenya has the largest economy in East Africa. The violence that followed the 2007 national elections was a very troubling event for those who love Kenya, especially given the nation's importance. The national elections of 2013, however, marked a return to the peaceful transition of government, and most Kenyans are looking forward to the future with confidence.

ECLEA in Kenya

ECLEA personnel did their first teaching in Kenya in June 2007. We returned in August of that year. Since that time, ECLEA has been very active throughout Kenya. Most importantly, we have established a good and growing inter-denominational and inter-tribal ECLEA-Kenya committee of pastor-teachers. The fact that we insist on being inter-tribal is particularly important in Kenya which has 42 tribes and where, although sometimes unspoken, tribalism is an important issue. The ECLEA-Kenya team has been the most active of all the East African ECLEA teams in conducting all-African church leader trainings.


Here are updates from ECLEA's Kenya team concerning ECLEA's work in Kenya (older news accounts of ECLEA's work in Kenya and the rest of East Africa are located in the News Archive):


David Njeru, ECLEA-Kenya regional coordinator

Our very first ECLEA training in 2026 in Kabiria was concluded in an educational institutuion's hall which was well attended (18 Pax). The pastors were extremely excited because of the deep content of 1st Timothy which was well covered. 

The emphasis however was on the 15 qualifications of an overseer, pastor or a church leader. Many were particularly interested to know if one ought to score 100% of the 15 or there was a pass mark. Although this was a genuine question reflecting on the state of church leaders, I may sadly say that many pastors or church leaders fall short in one or more areas. Having said that, it was seen necessary for each leader to introspect and make amends with God in case there is a personal flaw.

The point of being above reproach was of great interest since being a public figure, it wasn't quite possible to know how the community may rate a leader. The best approach was to do the best and leave the rest. The other major aspect was the love of money - which is the root of all evil. In reality, money by itself is not bad since it  is the currency that local and global commerce responds to. All in all, money is an emotive subject that requires careful approach and handling.

In conclusion, ECLEA is doing a great job in making such well researched materials readily available to pastors and church leaders. The impact is tangible. 

Thank you Jonathan and all ECLEA supporters

Regards.
