MAKING CHANGE
Together, Kensington and POM are committed to a holistic ministry
Since 2003, Kensington has partnered with Pokot Outreach Ministries (POM) to reach the Pokot people of western Kenya. Together, Kensington and POM are committed to a holistic ministry that aids in both physical and spiritual needs. There are estimated to be over one million Pokot, living in some of the harshest conditions on earth, but we consider them to be family.
AREAS OF IMPACT
For two decades, Kensington has had a special relationship with the Pokot people of western Kenya. It started with Kensington’s Founder Steve Andrews and his friendship with Julius Murgor in seminary. Julius, a Pokot himself, shared his vision of giving every Pokot the opportunities to hear the gospel, access clean water, and receive an education. In 2003, Kensington began its partnership with Julius’ organization, Pokot Outreach Ministries (POM). Now under the able leadership of Reuben Meriakol, POM, and their U.S.-based extension, Harvesters International Ministries, are developing leaders, planting churches, caring for orphans, digging wells, giving medical care, empowering women, and more!
