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. 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.

Alan and Pauline Jordan serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki, northern Kenya. Alan is preaching in a Kikuyu village today at AIC Matanya, where two of his students attend. When the Jordans were there last, a man named Elias told them he was once a drunkard and on drugs and had nowhere to live. “However, these people (pointing to the small congregation) told me about something else which could fill my life with far more satisfaction than alcohol.” He told them Jesus is his friend, “and now He is all I ever need”. The church attendees have since appointed him as caretaker of the little church, so he lives in a small room, built on the side of the church structure. Pray that Alan will be able to encourage and feed these people the truth of the Word of God.

Alan and Pauline Jordan serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki in the county of Laikipia, northern Kenya. Praise the Lord for enthusiastic students. A group of 9 studying “Hermeneutics; Bible interpretation and study methods” needed to attend lessons nearly every day. “We asked for prayer that they would attend – they did and even came more than they said they would. Praise God!” Pray that what they are learning would help them and others to make Jesus known and follow him.

Alan and Pauline Jordan serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki in the county of Laikipia, northern Kenya. Give thanks for God’s provision for Alan and Pauline to help source a 5,000-litre rain collection tank for Pastor Andrew*’s village. Pray that this tank will be a blessing to the village and provide clean drinking water for the people. Pray that those believers in the village will remember Jesus as the source of Living Water (John 4:14) each time they drink from it and will continue to trust in Him and share their faith with others. Please pray that Alan and Pauline will be able to continue to support Pastor Andrew* and his village as he cares for the spiritual and everyday necessities of life.

The Jordans serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki in the county of Laikipia, northern Kenya. Alan has been working with the Africa Inland Church to design and get plans drawn up for a Bible College to be built on the AIC Equator land which was given to them by missionaries many years ago. Praise God that the building of the College is ready to commence, all that is needed is funds. Pray that God will provide generous givers to give towards the project to buy building materials and tools.

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. LEARN MORE

Bible & Theology
