Kenyan Missionary Assistance Fund

As the Lord’s work continues to flourish in Kenya, a growing number of faithful young men and women are receiving calls to serve missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These devoted disciples are eager to answer the Savior’s call to “go ye into all the world and preach the gospel” and to share the joy they have found in Him.

Some come from families of deep faith but limited financial means and others have no family support at all. Their willingness to sacrifice is profound—their desire to serve is sincere. Yet, despite their spiritual readiness, many lack the material resources required to begin their missions. The Kenyan Missionary Assistance Fund has been created to bridge this gap with love, compassion, and Christlike generosity.

Consistent monthly donations—offered prayerfully and from the heart—will allow this fund to grow and bless those who stand ready to serve. Your contribution will help provide the basic clothing and personal items each missionary must have when they report to the Missionary Training Center. These simple but essential items can make the difference between a worthy young disciple serving or remaining at home.

Your support lifts burdens.
Your kindness opens doors.
Your sacrifice helps send the gospel forth in Africa.

A Sacred Invitation

In many cases, the cost of these items is more than a young Kenyan convert or their family can afford. Yet their faith remains strong, and their desire to serve is unwavering. By donating to this fund, you become a partner in their ministry. You become an instrument in the Lord’s hands, helping prepare His servants and sending them forth with dignity, confidence, and love.

Every contribution—large or small—helps a missionary take one step closer to the field. As we come together in charity, we participate in the Lord’s promise that “the worth of souls is great.” Through your generosity, His work will roll forward in Kenya and throughout Africa.
