The history of the Kenya Mennonite Church is filled with surprises. A first surprise is the arrival of the first Mennonite missionaries at Shirati on the shores of Lake Victoria in north-western Tanzania. They arrived in a dhow in 1934; that is why the cover of this book includes a dhow. They settled not far from the Kenya border. A second surprise is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the newly developing Mennonite church at Shirati in 1942. A third surprise is tow primary school students at Shirati who, in 1942, were touched by the Holy Spirit. they left their studies fro some weeks to preach in their homeland, Kenya. Although they were beaten be opponents of the Gospel, those who repented became the beginning of the Mennonite Church in Kenya. A fourth surprise is the Kenya Mennonite Church expanding from location to location, from language group to language group, from broken relations to restoration, from failure to rejoicing in the surprises of the grace of Christ. That is why the cover includes a congregation gathering for worship. This book is the fruit of many story tellers from across the church, from Malindi's Indian Ocean shore to Uganda's Lake Victoria borders. The challenges and surprises of a church in mission are described in this history. So are the stories of faithful followers of Jesus who formed congregation wherever they went. The Kenya Mennonite Church History is an account of the peace of Christ transforming conflict. This church history is the story of people from societies and languages accross Kenya being brought into reconciliation with God and with one another.
