GCW Church Mobilization | Harvest Mission Church-Eastlands Nairobi
GCW Church Mobilization | Event Held at Harvest Mission Church-Eastlands Nairobi
by Minister Isaiah Kimani, GO! Kenya Director
NAIROBI (KENYA)
July 9, 2022
On the 9th of July, Global Orphan Relief-Kenya, in conjunction with Harvest Mission Church in Eastlands held a Great Commandment Workshop at their church
On this day we were a bit challenged by the weather, but there were 90 ministry leaders in attendance that brought together many in this community.
Things went well despite the harsh Kenyan, cold morning winter. We had 90 registered attendees and 50 GCW commitments at the conclusion of the event.
The energy and the Spirit anointing pervaded the room. Eastlands is a low-income area of the city of Nairobi, but the people showed commitment and engagement in discussions. We look forward to fruitfulness and growth from this workshop
We are confident that based on the enthusiasm and willingness of this group, God is going to do mighty things in their community for the betterment of orphan children.
All for the Glory of God in obedience and adherence to (James 1:27).

Church Mobilization is our newest initiative launched in February 2022. We are currently working with local area churches to co-host Great Commandment Workshops where we bring together multiple subject matter experts to discuss the why and how to serve the poor generally, and orphan children specifically. We will track the impact of children served through this effort to justify continued investment; however, we have no plans to be funding the care of children through this initiative. We have held ten Great Commandment Workshop events since our launch in February 2022:
Beyond the financial commitment of the workshops, this effort is to be indigenous, self-propagating, and self-supporting. Our objective is to engage local churches to expand our GO! network, mobilize the church body to serve orphaned children, and to advance the Kingdom through demonstrating the Gospel to others. Through these workshops we are:
