Paul and Elizabeth Makau

Sent from The Full Gospel Church (AOG), Chadwell Heath

The Makau family have moved to Kenya to join the AIM team working at the Africa International University in Nairobi.

Paul and Elizabeth began serving with AIM at Africa International University (AIU) in Nairobi, Kenya in 2022. AIU is a private Christian university that offers Christ-centred leadership training to church leaders so that they can transform their communities. Both Paul and Elizabeth were involved in training, discipling and mentoring church leaders in the UK for a long time. Paul led the campus of a Bible College, and Elizabeth studied Christian Leadership and missional courses while working as a nurse in the NHS. They will using their knowledge, experience and skill to teach biblical, Christian leadership and missions subjects at AIU.

They are excited to be involved in training and equipping much-needed church leaders from different parts of Africa at AIU to equip them to preach the gospel to unreached people groups within the continent. They do this by identifying new missional communities, training leaders and supporting them during their training and accompanying them during their outreach activities.

Paul enjoys teaching the Bible and will continue running a weekly Bible study programme. Alongside her new role at AIU, Elizabeth hopes to continue one-to-one witnessing, evangelism and discipleship programmes and prayer. Their children Daniel and Grace have joined Rift Valley Academy, AIM’s school for missionary children.

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.
