Since its opening in 1986, the AIC Missionary College in Eldoret, Kenya has trained over 240 students from many African countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Zambia.

One third of Africa’s 3,000 people groups have yet to hear the Gospel.

Here at A.I.C. Missionary College, Eldoret (Kenya), we have a specialized programme to train cross-cultural missionaries. Most of our students have completed Bible training and have already served as pastors in their home areas. Now they are preparing to go to the unreached.

FOR PRAYER

  • That the Lord will continue to send students for training and that they will be supported by their home churches, in finance and in prayer both through their training and in their future ministry
  • Pray for more teachers and the replacement for our current Principal Ally Chepkwony who has taken the position of coordinator for the AIC Missionary Board.
  • Pray for urgently required funding for development the facilities
  • Pray that the graduates of all mission training colleges in Africa will be effective in going to the unreached peoples of Africa.

Since its opening in 1986, the college has trained over 240 students from many African countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Zambia as well as some from Korea.

The emphasis of our course is practical; preparing missionaries and their families for actually living in cross-cultural situations and actually doing cross-cultural ministry. Some of the college subjects are Cultural Anthropology, Contextualization, the Missionary Family as well as Carpentry, Sewing and Cookery.

Recent college graduates, Stephen and Susan Ouma, have gone to the Pokot in Lodeng’o, Kerio Valley, where there is not a trading centre, a school nor a dependable water supply.

The people of Lodeng’o have heard the gospel in the past but now that there are missionaries living among them, visiting them and teaching them, people are coming to Christ.

The Missionary College course is a family based training programme. A married man who is accepted by the college must bring his family. Each student family (or single) lives in their own housing provided by the college and looks after themselves.

The college course is now two years in length. The first four terms (and the final term) are spent at the college in the classroom. During the second year, from April until the end of August, the students are on ‘Term Out’ in a cross-cultural setting with their families. Staff make regular visits to supervise and mentor. Valuable experience is gained in cross-cultural living and ministry.

Students graduate from the college with either a Diploma or Certificate in Missions, hopefully prepared to face the challenge of serving as cross-cultural missionaries.
