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.
