Chris and Sarah are based in Kijabe, Kenya. Chris is the Personnel Director for Rift Valley Academy (RVA) and Sarah teaches at RVA.
The Powers lived and worked among the Shibushi unreached people in Mayotte from 2010-2019. Mayotte is a small tropical island located in the Indian Ocean. It became an overseas department of France in 2011 and has since become the home of many immigrants from Africa and neighbouring islands. The islanders practise folk Islam but French development has also brought a modern secular culture to the island. The Powers make short visits to Mayotte to maintain their relationships in the community and encourage the AIM team there. Chris continues to be the Unit Leader for Mayotte.
In 2019, the Power family moved from Mayotte to Nairobi, where Chris and Sarah began serving in the Southern Region office. Chris serves as the Region’s Personnel officer and is involved in placing new missionaries in the region and ensuring they get the support they need to thrive. Sarah served in Member Care and was a coach for Southern Region until the family moved to Kijabe at the end of 2020 so that Sarah could teach at Rift Valley Academy. She currently teaches French and is also the UK guidance coordinator for the school. Both Chris and Sarah have many opportunities to invest in the lives of students through mentoring, Sunday school, evening activities and sports coaching.
