June 21 - July 2, 2018

Missions of Hope International (MoHI) is working in the Mathare Slums of Nairobi, Kenya and has extended their ministry into other regions of Kenya. Their focus is to share the love of Jesus Christ by bringing holistic, sustainable, and long term solutions to the impoverished residents of Kenya. Through their work, MoHI is seeing a transformation among the communities. One by one individuals are seeing ways out of the trap of poverty. Family by family, community by community lives are being improved and people are able to look into the future with hope.

The Parkview team will be working with MoHI to serve the communities of Pangani (right next to Nairobi) and Napuu, Turkana (a northern region of Kenya). Our teams will be facilitating VBS in both regions and doing outreach programs to further MoHI’s ministry.
