On the African Railway





This is my new friend and brother in Christ, Pastor Paul - NEW LIFE RESTORATION CHURCH.

Stretching from the Indian Ocean westward through Kenya to Uganda into the very heart of Africa, the African Railway connects half a continent. It also runs through the middle of a Nairobi slum by the name of Kibera. It’s estimated at 1 million residents and growing. The population includes migrants from rural areas seeking jobs and a better life. Most are disappointed. Others include refugees from Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia.


Students @ Restoration Academy


At the edge of the Kibera slums is the “NEW LIFE RESTORATION CENTRE and Academy which is both a church for the community and a school for 230 grade school children.
It is run by Pastor’s Paul & Grace Mbithi. They report “We look forward to starting adult education programs in our church for the illiterate people in the Kibera community.” Using the LEI method, now the parents will be learning to read along with their children.

May God continue to smile on their work and witness.
