We had another great trip to Machakos Kenya from September 11th to the 25th of 2015. This was our 5th trip there since 2007 and there have been some major changes both in the church at AIC Katissa and in the town of Machakos. The church now has 3 floors built and all it needs are the walls of the 3rd floor and roof to go. This year instead of working on the kitchen, a picnic area, or a well, we concentrated on getting ready to go up to the third level of the church. We helped recycle the boards and nails that were used for pouring the concrete supports. The six 20-ish year old males we worked with pulled rusty nails out of recycled boards in flip flops for 3USD a day. Neal Whitson, Joshua Kiilu, Mark Miller and myself did not wear flip flops and we did not get paid $3 a day. Since the development committee at Africa Inland Church Katissa wanted us to use all of the $12,000 USD that we brought we did not have a medical clinic this year.

North Christian Church’s Joshua Kiilu hardly considered himself a leader.
“I always saw myself,” said Kiilu, “as more behind the scenes.”
Until the people in his povertystricken hometown of Machakos, Kenya, desperately needed help. Then he gradually stepped to the forefront.

Dear Family and Friends,

This letter is written with sincere thanks for all the support that was given for the trip to the African Inland Church Katisaa in Machakos Kenya. Eight of us left on June 17th and all of us returned safe, sound and BLESSED on July 3rd. We took about 800 pounds of Medical and Theology Textbooks, presents for church leaders, Youth Choir T-shirts, yarn for the Women’s knitting group, 6 Prayer Shawls, 50 handmade wash cloths, medical equipment, clothes and shoes for the orphans and widows, 450 dental/school kits and 150 pairs of glasses. The 10,000$ that we brought with us is being used to pay for a well at the church and to continue building the church.

The Old kitchen that was being used.


The 2013 Mission trip to Kenya is over and the team is back from Kenya. This was the 4th trip and even though the team was made up of 4 people, Joshua Kiilu, Neal Whison, David Bain and Ashley Burton, we were able to build a new kitchen for the AIC Katisaa church, while they await their permanent kitchen that will be located on the 3rd floor of the new building.

African odyssey: help for Kenyans, inspiration for Hoosiers Native son leads Columbus church members on a mission that opens eyes as it touches hearts
In Machakos, an impoverished city in Kenya, school supplies are so scarce that children share everything -- even something as small as a pencil.
"You're humbled to see kids breaking a pencil so that another kid can have a pencil," Joshua Kiilu said.

Kiilu, a native of Machakos, relocated to the U.S. more than 20 years ago, but he hasn't forgotten his hometown. In 2007, with the support of North Christian Church in Columbus, Kiilu began making trips from Indiana to Machakos to build an educational center.
