"I believe iServe will give the volunteers a unique, life-changing and fulfilling experience as they work in various placements in Kenya I fully endorse and recommend the programme" Paul Kamaku,  former Careforce Volunteer.

 My Story: Jacob Kennedy owuor

My name is Jacob Kennedy Owour I come from Rachuonyo District, Kasipul Kabondo in the Western part of Kenya. I joined iServe Africa  for the first year in September 2008. My placement is The Sheepfold Ministries (TSM) which  reaches the unreached people groups. When in Nairobi, I work in TSM’s office helping in report writing and in the Awareness Department. Apart from being in Nairobi I also go to the Mission fields in different parts of the country especially the north and coastral areas. Being in Garissa for the first time was exciting. I learnt a lot concerning the mission field and the challenges that missionaries go through.

This apprenticeship has been a period of learning especially when it comes to the work in the office. I have been changed in my way of thinking about the word of God. I am not the same person again. My understanding on the gospel ministry is improved.

I look forward learning more from TSM about mission. I thank God for iServe Africa for the worthy opportunity it has given to me. I encourage the young graduates to consider joining this program before they embark job seeking. The sacrifice has been made for us by Christ himself. We only need to yield ourselves to him so that he can use us. Pray with me that I will be able to know exactly what the Lord wants me to do after the program.
