Alan and Pauline Jordan

Sent from Ross-on-Wye Baptist Church

The Jordans serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki in the county of Laikipia, northern Kenya.

Alan and Pauline’s journey into cross-cultural mission started in 1993, when they felt the Lord’s call for Alan to leave his job as an RAF aircraft engineer and serve him somewhere on the mission field. They served with AIM for two years, working with AIM Air in Nairobi. When they returned to the UK, Alan finished his Theology degree at Bible college and Pauline ran the family home, but the desire to return to serve in Africa remained.

In January 2019 they moved to Marsabit in northern Kenya to be part of a larger team working alongside the Africa Inland Church (AIC). Marsabit is 550km north of Nairobi, and is the political, social and economic centre of northern Kenya. It is also home to eight distinct people groups, including the Samburu, Gabbra, Borana and Rendille peoples. They spent three years building relationships with the local Bishop and church leaders.  Alan taught the BTCP program at the new Northern Bible Training College, helping pastors grow in their knowledge of the Bible and training them in their pastoral ministry.  For a short time, Pauline taught English to the Bible students and then in January 2020 she helped to set up the AIC Marsabit Primary School.

In March 2022 the Jordans moved to Nanyuki, where they are continuing to teach the Word of God.  Alan teaches the Bible Training Course for Pastors (BTCP) to local church leaders from various denominations. Pauline’s ministry is with the white Kenyans and she helps to teach Sunday school at the British Army base as well as offering hospitality to the many missionaries passing through their home.

Alan and Pauline Jordan serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki, northern Kenya. On Saturday 2nd August 2025 the first BTCP (Bible Training Course for Pastors) Graduation took place in Nanyuki, Kenya. Alan has taught this course in Nanyuki over the last two-and-a-half years, delivering over 500 hours of classroom instruction to Christian leaders from various church denominations. There were sixteen students who graduated with their certificate of completion. Also graduating were fifteen students with a certificate of completion from the teacher training course, which will enable them to teach the BTCP course to their own churches and people. They were trained by Edwin Ojodo, the BTCP coordinator in Kenya north. Pray for the graduates to put into practice all that they have learned and live fruitful and faithful lives in service of Jesus.

Alan and Pauline Jordan serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki, northern Kenya. The evening sessions and the Saturday teaching sessions of the Bible Training Course for Pastors/Leaders (BTCP/L) programme are reaching their climax, studying the final book, concerning Mission, Evangelism and Discipleship. The only problem is the students are all concerned about what to do next with the time they commit each week studying the course! They have suggested studying a diploma, or seminars on various topics. They just love the fellowship, teaching and fun they have together. Pray for wisdom for Alan as it leaves him in a quandary as to what the Lord is leading him to do next. There are a few students who will need to do catch up classes during July before the graduation. Pray for the first Nanyuki Graduation on Saturday 2nd August when many friends, family and dignitaries will join the celebrations.

Kenya

Kenya gained independence from Britain in 1963. Since then British tourism has been a key element of Kenya’s economy, however, unemployment, poverty and crime remain high. Whilst the majority religion is Christianity, Kenya’s ethnic diversity and vast countryside means there are still many unreached with the gospel.
