StoneHouse New Land

You may be wondering why you should help missionaries buy land? Good question.

We’re living here in Kenya and establishing ministries to spiritually and physically feed many hungry people. In Kenya tribal unrest is strong as was fully played out it in the post election violence of 2007.




We have established 4 churches, encouraging people from different tribes to live together in harmony, taking care of one another, growing in Christ.

Our LEARN program, (Letting Educational Adoption Reshape Nakuru), helps sponsor children by paying school fees for those who are impoverished. We have a primary school, StoneHouse Academy, helping children get an education so they will be able to break the chain of poverty. Many of these children come from broken homes with the mother being the sole support of the family, and orphans being raised by grandmothers who often are widows trying to make ends meet. We also have Kenyan children coming from stable families who are able to help with keeping the school running as they pay school fees. Together these children from different backgrounds are taught to accept and befriend one another bringing different perspectives of everyday life into harmony. We are able to employ teachers, which also gives them a means to support their families. We have a sewing center where women are taught the skill of tailoring. Our first graduate has surpassed our expectations and has a growing business of her own, designing and making dresses for girls. She is amazing and helps us in whatever way she can. We have widows and abandoned women, as well as stable married women learning to sew. The center has a store front so people passing by stop in to give us jobs mending, making clothes, curtains, and embroidery.


We have partnered with other missionaries here in Nakuru, offering nutrition classes, general medical and eye clinics, to help people who can’t afford proper medical care.

African Shepherds Alliance is growing as well. These are pastors from all over Kenya and some from Tanzania and Uganda. They come for bible teaching and encouragement to take back to their churches. They are thirsting for the scriptural faith that was delivered to the early church, and their thirst is being quenched.

In our ministries we are focusing on teaching Kenyans to do the work. As we work together they, and we, are learning so much. They’re taking up responsibility for meeting the needs of their people by serving and ministering to them and they are doing so well.

Having our own land has given us the potential to build homes for ourselves and our Kenyan staff so we can eventually eliminate paying rent. In nine months the land will be paid for. We’ll build as economically as possible using natural resources available to us. We’ll be able to grow our own food and have farm animals – vegetables, goats, cows, sheep, chickens, eggs, and milk. We’re digging a well for water. We’ll bring electricity in but hope to be able to use solar power as we can afford it.



So, this is an exciting time for StoneHouse Ministries. We need your prayers and support, without which we could not continue.

The construction has begun and people are donating towards the project, so that we can complete the house which will begin to facilitate our missionaries and guests as they come to visit and work with the ministries. As you can see, it is made of stone. God is so good to have given us the resources for building our new home. All the stone if mined from our land and the laborers are crafting the buildings out of those natural resources.

Our God is faithful and we are trusting in His loving Hands.

Your Kenya Missionaries,

David and Cynthia Taylor
