Reflecting on Our Ministry Work in Turkana: A Journey of Faith and Growth
This year has been a transformative journey in Turkana, and we are filled with gratitude and excitement as we conclude our ministry work this year.
Launching the ACK Turkana Evangelistic Team: During the Diocesan Youth Conference, we saw the birth of the ACK Turkana Evangelistic Team, ready to move the wheels of the gospel forward. The energy and commitment of the youth are a testament to the future of our mission.
Church Planting in Turkana: Early this year, AMA initiated a Healthy Church training project in Turkana County. The participants have been actively engaged, and we visited every village where new churches have been planted and witnessed the incredible work God is doing through His Church.
Our next challenge is to ensure that every new planted church is roofed. We visited ten new church plants this year, and seeing them worship under trees during the rainy season and drought spells has been both humbling and challenging. Pray for us that God will release the resources needed to roof these new churches and that the gospel will continue to spread in this region.
Thank you for your support and prayers. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of many.
Empowering Women in Faith: AMA Participates in Uganda Women's Conference
Anglican Missions Africa (AMA) was honored to be part of the women's conference held in the Bugedi Diocese of the Church of Uganda from 25th to 27th November 2024. In partnership with Rev. Canon Rebecca Nyegenye, Provost of All Saints Cathedral Nakasero, AMA facilitated the two-day conference in Busia, Uganda.
The conference was a huge success, with 110 women from the diocese in attendance. The event provided a platform for the women to come together, share their experiences, and grow in their faith. AMA was privileged to facilitate the conference, which aimed to empower and equip the women with spiritual guidance and support.
Through this conference, AMA demonstrated its commitment to supporting the spiritual growth and development of women in Africa. We are grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this event and look forward to continuing our partnership with the Church of Uganda and other churches in Africa and beyond in future.
The Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Katakwa Diocese successfully launched its Mega Mission, a massive evangelism outreach effort aimed at spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ to the community.
The mission kicked off with a powerful commissioning service led by Bishop Okude, where 200 local missioners and 700 visiting missioners were commissioned to go out and share the Gospel. The service marked the beginning of a week-long outreach effort that reached thousands of people in the diocese.
As a symbol of the mission's launch, the AMEC flag was handed over to the Nakuru Diocese, marking the next mega mission scheduled on 15th - 25th May 2025.
The Mega Mission was a significant event in the life of the diocese, and we are grateful for the prayers and support of the ACK family. We believe that this mission was a catalyst for spiritual awakening and growth in our community, and we are excited to see the impact it had.
We are thankful to God for the success of the mission and for the many lives that were touched by the Gospel. May God continue to bless and empower our missioners as they serve Him!

Empowering Clergy and Laity for the Mega Mission
We give thanks for the successful Pre-AMEC Training held in ACK Diocese of Katakwa, in preparation for the upcoming Mega Mission from 13th-17th November 2024. Approximately 568 participants were trained and ready to be commissioned to share the Gospel in their communities. The training, which began with the clergy, was then cascaded to various archdeaconries across the Diocese, equipping them for effective mission and outreach.
We are grateful to Bishop John for creating this opportunity and spearheading the training.
A recent Healthy Church Training event was successfully held at ACK St. Paul's Kanamkemer, Lodwar parish in Turkana, bringing together 46 enthusiastic participants from the local community. Over the course of a week, the training covered a comprehensive range of topics including, finance, stewardship, and church administration. As the participants return to their various ministries, we are excited to see the positive impact that these new skills will have on the Turkana missionary area, empowering leaders to build healthier and more effective churches.
Kitale Diocese Launches Church Planting Movement with Evangelist Training
In a bid to expand its reach and spread the Gospel, the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Diocese of Kitale has launched a church planting movement. The initiative kicked off with the training of approximately 50 evangelists who will roll out training for church planters at the grassroots level. The ambitious plan aims to plant 140 new churches and double the number of parishes in the diocese. The training was facilitated by Anglican Missions Africa (AMA).
The Healthy Church training program was officially launched by Bishop Dr. Chemengich at the ACK Diocese of Kitale.
