From a Small Seed to a God-Sized Mission

Our Mission

Our ministry is driven to provide education through school teachings, evangelism and mentorship to create a pathway to higher learning and sharing the Good News of the gospel.

Our Vision

Our vision, through education and mentoring, is to help develop thriving communities and create an environment of safe, structured school programs and a means to learn and apply biblical teachings.

The beginning

In 2012, Boniface and Margaret first traveled to Tanzania with just $2,500 raised through the support of others. With the help of a local pastor, they spent 2–3 weeks sharing God’s Word and encouraging the community to turn away from harmful traditions like early marriages and female genital mutilations. These realities deeply impacted Margaret, stirring in her a calling to champion the dignity of women and share the love of God with both men and women in the community.

The call to esoitnarok

In 2016, God led Boniface and Margaret to the village of Esoitnarok — meaning Black Rock or Stone. During an outreach event where they showed the Jesus Film, one man asked a question that changed everything.

“Others have come before — they take photos, show interest, and never return. Are you coming back, or will you do the same?”

That question confirmed their calling. Boniface and Margaret, along with their three children, Kimberly, Kevin, and Kendrich — moved closer to Namanga, Kenya.

With just $495 a month, they began serving where God had called them, even though the journey to Esoitnarok still required 15 hours of travel.

To proclaim Christ so that the Maasai may know salvation and freedom in Him.

To teach the value of women and girls and affirming their worth in God’s eyes.

To transform traditions through the power of the Gospel.
