Thompson Trails - Missionaries to Kenya

The Kisumu school has been closed since November 2002, but will now be opening as a branch campus of E.A.S.T. (East Africa School of Theology).

The Assemblies of God has been very effective in following the 2 Timothy 2:2 principle: Train
faithful men who will train faithful men who will train faithful men who will train faithful men.
This has been done by establishing Bible schools everywhere the Assemblies of God has sent missionaries. The Kenya Assembly of God is continuing to grow at a very fast rate, with a five year plan to double from 4000 churches to 8000 churches by 2014!

* We need pastors for these new churches!
* Pastors need to be trained in a Bible School!
* E.A.S.T. Kisumu Campus can house up to 96 residential students ‐ both men and women!
* Plans include both day and evening classes for residential and non‐residential students.

We are excited about having students back on the campus again! However, there is much to do before they arrive! Our assignment ‐ To get the school fixed, repaired, renovated, spruced up, cleaned up, and have it ready for classes in September 2009!

So much to do ... so little time!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Windows are broken, toilets and showers don’t work, there is no refrigerator, the stove has been
trashed, and cooking is done outside on stones; Desks and chairs are broken or missing, and there is not enough dining room space, classroom space, or chapel space; New chalkboards, white boards, and other teaching necessities are needed; There is no library or computer lab! The dorms are in need of complete overhauling, with new mattresses, curtains, paint, and security doors. The entire campus needs to be painted, both indoors and out, and the yard needs a lot of TLC! The list goes on and on...

The costs of repairing and renovating are great!

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GET THE BIBLE SCHOOL READY TO RE‐OPEN IN SEPTEMBER!

By investing in the renovation of the E.A.S.T. Kisumu Campus, you will be helping to train pastors to reach the lost in Kenya.
