East Africa
Africa is an enormous continent, so we have divided our areas of focus into East, West, South, and French-speaking Africa. Our ambassador for the East is Kenya’s Charles Cheruiyot, who has been a partner with us for many years. Each partner in each nation is a strong leader who brings a unique skillset and a heart for Christ to the table.
