INTRODUCTION

We give glory to God for the opportunity to serve in the Marimanti Mission, held from 27th April to 11th May 2025. Under the spiritual guidance and leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Mount Kenya University, this mission was carried out across four key sites in Tharaka Nithi County: Marimanti, Kaarwa, Kithunguri, and Kasarani.

Rooted in prayer and the theme “A Still Small Voice,” the mission aimed to share Christ’s message of love through word and service. This report outlines the mission’s organization, activities, outcomes, and financial stewardship. It also captures the lessons learned and the spiritual impact witnessed. We remain deeply grateful to God for His leading and to every individual who contributed to this work of faith.

Through the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, MKUSDA Church, through the Church Board, mandated a Mission Committee of fourteen members to plan and actualize the 2025 mission. The committee was tasked with the responsibility to prayerfully plan, coordinate, and implement all mission-related activities.

The appointed members are as follows:

  1. Eld. Boaz Oliech
  2. James Ondiek – Chairperson
  3. Adongo Peris

SECTION 1: MISSION OVERVIEW & ORGANIZATION

 

Mission Background

The Marimanti Mission was a coordinated evangelistic initiative organized by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Mount Kenya University. Conducted under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the mission focused on four outreach sites within Tharaka Nithi County, namely;

  • Marimanti
  • Kaarwa
  • Kithunguri
  • Kasarani

The campaign was carried out over a period of two weeks.

 

Mission Theme and Text

The chosen theme, “A Still Small Voice,” called participants to serve from a place of spiritual attentiveness, humility, and sensitivity to God’s leading. Drawing from the example of Jesus Christ, the mission emphasized holistic ministry that addressed both spiritual and physical needs.

The key text was Isiah 30:21 and the key song SDAH 714/ NZK 15.

 

Planning Process

Outlined below is a comprehensive overview of the various stages, considerations, and collaborative efforts that were undertaken during the planning phase of this evangelistic campaign. This process involved prayerful deliberation, logistical coordination, strategic site selection, and the mobilization of resources and personnel to ensure the mission’s success.

 

meetings

Considering the availability and convenience of the committee members, it was agreed that planning meetings would be held every Tuesday, commencing at 2:00 p.m., to allow for consistent attendance and effective coordination of mission activities.

 

Mission site

In preparation for the Marimanti Mission, a number of potential outreach sites were prayerfully considered within Marimanti District, which served as the host region for this evangelistic campaign. The goal was to identify strategic locations that would maximize spiritual impact, accessibility, and community engagement.

A total of fifteen proposed mission sites were initially presented for consideration by the planning committee, after the first pre-visit. These included:
Tharaka Central, Kathithi Kambui, Mwarange, Nkararu/Kasarani, Kirwiro, Kiaru, Makirioni, Kithiori, Makutano, Gachoroni, Nthaara, Bondeni, Maroria, Makomango, and Kaarwa. Each of these locations was assessed based on factors such as population density, spiritual need, logistical feasibility, and the presence or absence of active Adventist ministry.

Following thorough deliberation, site visits, and discussions guided by prayer and counsel, the committee unanimously agreed on four key mission sites to serve as the evangelistic centers for this campaign:

  • Marimanti
  • Kaarwa
  • Kithunguri
  • Kasarani

These four sites were chosen not only for their strategic positioning but also for their readiness to host comprehensive mission activities. Each site represented a unique mission field, with diverse spiritual and social dynamics, offering fertile ground for holistic outreach through preaching, medical service, youth and children’s ministry, and personal visitation.

The selected sites became the core focus of the mission, allowing for the optimal deployment of resources, personnel, and spiritual efforts to bring about lasting impact within the district.

2.3 Baptismal Report/ spiritual Engagement

During the campaign season, many lives were touched and hearts stirred toward the love of Christ. The efforts made bore fruit as souls responded to the gospel call, choosing to begin a new journey with Jesus through baptism.

“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” — Luke 15:10 (KJV)

This reminds us that every step toward Christ is celebrated in heaven, and so should it be among us. The table below represents the baptismal count per site and the total.

Scope of Follow up progress.

Language will be altogether feeble to enable me narrate the details of the much that has been achieved in this missionary field in details, however this report is a summarized overview of the notable progress that has been wrought in this site over the mission impact and follow up efforts.

We received a young Sabbath school, a year old at the beginning of our two week mission, It consisted of an average membership of 19 individuals By the grace of God at the end of the mission we had Baptized 21 members,

The Degree of how the objectives have been achieved.

  • By the grace of God the Baptized members left under my care have been retained, in the various churches and especially those in the host Kaarwa Church
  • There has been a notable wave of revival of dormant and uncommitted members of the church,
  • visitations, distribution of literature and opening scriptures to the willful has largely been attained, smoothly due to the thorough mission impact,
  • Persistent visits and appeals to potential prospects
  • Teaching the members every Sabbath has been vital and clearly a needed effort, reasoning with the congregants’ diverse Biblical truths over the 7 Sabbaths,
  • Highschool ministry, at Kaiga Kamwe on permitted days has been resourceful in reaching the youthful locals,
  • Chances given to speak to the Sunday congregation has been vital in reaching most of the locals and a part of our potential prospects

There has been notable revival, with dominant and members recommitting to the weekly worship

Current assessment meant of the Kaarwa Church.

Through mission, and follow up efforts the Church has undergone significant advancement, we now have roughly 31 “known adult ” members

  1. Daniel kinyua
  2. Geoffrey
  3. Mutuma
  4. John Kathenya
  5. Esther
  6. Amos and family
  7. And a host of locals,

Findings and recommendations.

  • The sin of drug addiction has highly taken bondage of a host of locals including relatives to church members, the menace adultery and witchcraft is also a threat to the people of God both in church and the locals
  • There are many immediate relatives to many church members and concerts yet to be convicted of the truth
  • There is a great need for silent evangelism in terms of literature both in the church and outside to remain as a constant witness,

Financial reports and mission follow up expense:

  • The heavens have funded the Follow up efforts through diverse means.Including, Ksh.4000/= facilitation from mission committee,
  • Local Church provision in terms of Rent and other supplements
  • Well-wishers And locals’ generosity,

 

Conclusion.

The mission impact still lingers on, the solemn work of preparing a people ready for the coming of the Lord is steadily progressing, this is but a mere estimation in human eyes of the progress , but I firmly trust there is much that is done and to be done by unseen Heavenly messengers in coordination with willing human links ,onward and upward, we will still launch out into the deep!

The low hanging berries has been harvested, the blooming seed watered, God will bring the increase in due season.

ACHIEVEMENTS, CHALLENGES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

ACHIEVEMENTS

The following are the achievements of the mission committee during the whole of the mission planning and execution period.

  1. Impressive Target Realization: An impressive 70.64% of the target amount was achieved, totaling Ksh 683,247 out of the projected Ksh 942,032.
  2. Strong Volunteer Turnout: Over 100 missionaries participated across the four sites, contributing skills, time, and effort.
  3. Daily Structured Programs: Consistent execution of daily Bible studies, prophecy classes, children’s programs, and health sessions.
  4. Well-Mobilized Resources: Despite not reaching the full budget, 70.64% of the projected budget was raised and utilized efficiently.
  5. Effective Collaboration: Strong cooperation among departments, especially leadership, P.A., catering, and literature.
  6. Diverse Ministries: The mission included health talks, family life sessions, prophecy seminars, children’s ministry, and welfare services.
  7. Extensive Literature Distribution: Dozens of Bibles, Steps to Christ books, and hymnals were shared with the community.
CHALLENGES
  1. Unprepared Children’s Teachers: Inadequate orientation or absenteeism affected the quality of children’s ministry at some sites.
  2. Lack of Follow-Up on Discover Guides: No clear system existed to track the distribution or utilization of the study materials.
  3. Lower-than-Expected Missionary Turnout: Some sites operated with fewer missionaries, stretching available human resources.
  4. Language Barriers: Communication difficulties limited effective engagement with residents, especially in deeper Bible studies.
  5. Financial Shortfalls: Only 70.64% of the budgeted funds were raised, limiting the mission’s full potential.
  6. Regulatory and Planning Delays Hindered Medical Outreach:
    Due to late-stage planning and regulatory constraints, the mission committee was unable to implement the intended medical missionary program. This limited the scope of holistic outreach, particularly in addressing the physical health needs of the local communities—an area that had shown high potential for engagement and impact.
Recommendations

To improve future mission efforts, the following measures are proposed:

  1. Timely Preparation of Children’s Materials: Distribute all supplies and curriculum to sites at least one week before deployment.
  2. Training for Children’s Teachers: Offer pre-mission workshops and resource kits to equip those handling children’s ministries.
  3. Power Backup Investment: Secure portable generators or solar lighting kits to maintain uninterrupted evening programs.
  4. Improve Missionary Mobilization: Launch early, targeted recruitment campaigns with clear expectations and incentives.
  5. Language Preparation: Offer basic local language training or assign translators to enhance missionary-local interactions.
  6. Diversify Funding Streams: Engage church alumni, local sponsors, and online donors to broaden the mission’s financial base.
  7. Structured Post-Mission Follow-Up: Assign follow-up teams or speakers timelines for Bible study continuation, baptismal classes, and church integration.
  8. Comprehensive Mission Evaluation: Conduct detailed post-mission reviews to gather feedback, identify gaps, and document lessons learned.
  9. Associates’ utilization: The committee and the church at large should find the best way to utilize our associates as mission speakers and even follow up ministers to help in cost cutting.
  10. Literature sensibility: The literature given to members should be sensible in a manner they should not be overfed after the mission with too much literature.
  11. Mission policy: A mission policy should be laid at hand to help the church avoid unnecessary conduct in the mission field and in proper training of both members and speakers.
  12. Post mission: post mission is the most important part of the mission so it should be well coordinated and checked upon to be able to have a smooth harvest and prospects transition and retaining.
  13. Committee selection: A committee should be selected earlier for mission planning and to give them adequate time.
  14. Mission writeup: A mission writeup should be circulated earlier to help in members’ preparation towards the mission and to be well acquainted with the mission field.
  15. Mission acceptance and support: Everyone should own the mission and take it a s a personal initiative to support and encourage others to attend to see through this great commission given to us by Jesus Christ.
Conclusion

While challenges arose, the Marimanti Mission was a spiritually fruitful and transformative endeavor. The leadership of the Holy Spirit and the dedication of the team led to changed lives and new beginnings. With the insights gained and improvements proposed, future missions can achieve even greater impact in spreading the everlasting gospel.
