Donate to Phinehas and Deborah

Phinehas and Deborah are in a creative access location working with local believers to equip leaders, facilitate church planting and build gospel relationships. They are working primarily with three local tribes, reaching out to them with the message of Jesus.

They were called to serve in global mission in 2003 after serving in their home church for many years. They and their two teenage daughters love Jesus and are walking in His grace in response to His faithfulness to them over the years.

The challenges of their ministry include not only reaching out to the unreached with the gospel but also leading teaching and discipleship classes to help equip local church leaders to effectively lead, serve and plant churches in their home country.

Pray for Jakob as he explores and prepares for where God is calling him. He is currently learning French as an initial step for communicating in the region and type of work where the Lord seems to be leading. Pray for clarity as he investigates the possibility of joining a team working in a sensitive region where believers are few and the spiritual need for the good news is great.

Pray for the 240,000 Samburu of Kenya who live in remote North Central Kenya, dispersed between Mt Kenya and Lake Turkana. Pastors and elders of multiple local churches among the Rendille and Samburu continue to meet to read and study God’s Word. In June, five oflocal those men gathered to learn how to study the Bible (hermeneutics) and are moving on to expository preaching through a curriculum called SOMA. Pray for these men as they sharpen each other. Pray for their spiritual growth, the growth of their families, and the growth of healthy churches in Northern Kenya.

Creative Access

We use ‘Creative Access’ to refer to nations, areas or ministries where there is great hostility towards Christianity and where traditional ‘missionary work’ is not possible. Workers, therefore, need to be ‘creative’ in how they proclaim the liberating news of Jesus Christ. In North Africa alone, 200 million people from 472 unreached people groups are unreached with the gospel. That’s 200 million people unknowingly heading for a Christ-less eternity.

Church Development

We hope that our church development work with local African churches will lead them to be centres of hope and love that draw more people to Jesus.
