For more than a decade, Burnt Hickory has partnered with Swahiba Youth Network to minister to the people in the slums of Nairobi. Through the building of a Ministry Center in the heart of the slums, we aim to aid the people of Kenya for years to come. We regularly send teams of varying ages to help spread the gospel and aid those living in utter poverty. From providing food and resources to leading children’s ministry events, we have sought to bring the love of Christ to those who might not experience it any other way.

Kenya Sponsorships
In 2012 Burnt Hickory Student Ministry traveled to Nairobi, Kenya for a mission trip. This was the start of a relationship with Swahiba Youth Networks and Peter Abungu. Since that time the relationship has grown and we have sent 11 missions teams and over 300 individuals to assist in the ministry of Swahiba Youth Networks. Currently there are over 40 teenage girls being sponsored by BHBC members in Kenya. If you would like more information about the ministry in Kenya contact the missions team at .
