Episode 42 - A Decade in Kenya - Unique challenges, ethical questions when cultures collide, geographic diversity, strong tribal traditions, and a deeply welcoming culture. Why it’s been a favorite destination for volunteers for the past ten years.

Join us for a special episode of Inside Missions as we celebrate a significant milestone: 10 years of Maranatha Volunteers International’s work in Kenya. With more than 1,200 structures built, including churches and classrooms, and more than 2,000 volunteers deployed, the impact on the ground has been immense. Our panel dives into the unique challenges and blessings of working in Kenya—a country defined by its incredible geographic diversity, strong tribal traditions, and a deeply welcoming culture.We explore the philosophical and ethical questions that arise when our work intersects with remote, nomadic communities, and discuss why volunteers consistently report such a deep, life-changing connection to their time in Kenya. From the bustling streets of Nairobi to the remote tribal lands of the Daasanach, discover how these interactions have shaped not just the landscape, but the hearts of everyone involved. Whether you are a long-time Maranatha supporter or new to our mission, this conversation offers a profound look at the enduring legacy of service and relationship-building in East Africa.Thanks for listening!
