ESSMS 01 - 14 Days AKenya
Mission Safaris
Day 1 Thika
Our
visitors arrive on a Friday and are picked from the airport by one of
our beautiful and comfortable tour vans. They will spend the night at
Blue Posts Hotel, which is situated about 50km south of Nairobi in a
beautiful town called Thika. This is a beautiful hotel and probably the
only one in the world that is situated between two Water Falls - Chania
and Thika waterfalls. It is also next to the world famous expansive Del
Monte Pineapple Farm.
Day 2 Beat the Jet Lag & Local Tour
On the second day, the visitors are taken around Thika town where
they will in particularly enjoy the scenic vegetation of the
world-renowned coffee plantations and also visit the Fourteen Falls - a
river with fourteen falls at one place - that is a beauty to behold!
They will also be shown the areas where they will be undertaking
development/church projects in the coming week.
Day 3 Lets go to Worship - African Style
This day falls on a Sunday. Our visitors will be taken to attend
church in one of the fastest growing churches in Africa - The Christian
Church International, Thika. It will be an experience of a lifetime to
enjoy Spirit filled worship in a local church.
Later in the Afternoon, the visitors will visit the projects where they
will be working with a briefing with their local co-workers.
Day 4-9 It's Time To Work - for the glory of God
This begins on Monday. The visitors will have one full week work in
a community/church building project. They will work and partner with
other local people to bring up a project that will go a long way in
helping the local community to alleviate poverty, ignorance and disease.
Those who wish to be engaged in evangelistic activities will have the
opportunity to go out in the streets together with local evangelists and
win real souls for Jesus. It will be an exciting and life changing
experience for the visitors who will be involved first-hand to help the
locals.
Beginning this Monday, the visitors will leave the hotel and start
living with the locals in specially selected homes. This will help
create lasting relations, cultural exchange moments and harness a deeper
understanding of the daily life of each other. It will be like being in
your own home away from home. What about shared culinary techniques,
bonding, friendship, and devotions, to mention just a few of the
benefits.
Day 10 Experience the Diversity of Worship
Our visitors will have the opportunity to go and visit other
churches and gain different experiences of worship among the local
people. It can be organized for the ministers to get an opportunity to
minister in music, word or otherwise in these local churches. A large
dinner will be arranged for all of them together in a local home.

will be an experience to remember. This last night will be spent at Blue
