NEGST Alumni move for peace
On March 7, hundreds of Kenyan pastors, led and mobilized by NEGST Alumni, began an historic journey across the country. Called “Msafara”, the mission was to pray, listen, and bring peace to Kenya's five largest city centers. The journey began in Mombasa, on the eastern coast. The cities chosen were ones broken and hurting from the post-election chaos.
Along the route, the Msafara team gave out 100,000 Care Packs, donated by churches and individuals throughout the nation. By March 17, on arrival in Kisumu on the western border, the team had encouraged thousands, providing basic supplies and food, praying and offering God’s physical and spiritual healing. NEGST can rejoice that in keeping with our calling to "excellence in African Christianity" our graduates are leading the way in demonstrating godly responses to current issues. Many other members of the NEGST community were involved in ways too numerous to name here.
