Assembly Aid Abroad

From BrethrenPedia

Assembly Aid Abroad: In 1998, a 'Facts For Faith' magazine was sent to Nigeria, and from there back to South West Kenya. An invitation came from a small group of believers to visit them, and in early 2000, Albert Fairweather went for three months to Kenya with the conviction of God's call, living among the people and teaching them mainly under trees and in isolated places. He has visited each year since then.

The blessing of the Lord was evident from the outset, and over the years many have been saved and New Testament churches planted. Each church is autonomous, with elders to guide. Government regulations require registration of churches, and this is under the name of 'Brethren Assembly Fellowship, Kenya'.

'Assembly Aid Abroad' grew out of a need to support a growing number of evangelists and teachers as the people are poor, living by subsistence farming. Our conviction is also to provide Bibles in their own language, then Hymn Books, chapels and bicycles for workers.
