We will target villages that have educated pastors already serving their own people but have a desire to do more. We hope to buy land, build a church, school, feeding center, medical clincs, toilets, and water well. All of these communities will be staffed by qualified local Kenyan people. There are are very few facilities exactly like this around Mombasa. Real 4 Christ believes that if we can meet some of these basic needs in these villages, we will have a long term, eternal impact.

CORPORATE 4 CHRIST
We will have small group settings for the corporate business people within Mombasa. As God begins to change their lives, we will show them how they can reinvest in their own people by introducing them to struggling pastors within neighboring villages that need mentoring and financial support. Real 4 Christ will help each of these business people discover God's Purpose for their lives and how they can "give back" to thier community.
Currently there are only a few qualified Counselors in Kenya and the majority of them do not follow any Christian principles when advising their patients. The Kenyan people struggle with some of the same issues in marriage, child rearing, addictions and relationships as the American people. Having the added "issues" of many cultural differences found in Kenya further complicate their lives.
Chris and Lisa have over 15 years of experience and training in Christian counseling. They will use this knowledge along with personal trials God has brought them through to bring hope to those who are struggling in various areas of their lives. By sharing Gods love with those who are hurting, providing biblical based guidance and encouraging involvement in their community church, God will bring healing to the people of Kenya.
The process of marriage in East Africa is very different than in America. Most men must pay an extravagant dowry to the parents of the woman he wishes to marry. Many times the price for their bride is more than they can afford and the financial burden can be carried for many years into their marriage. As a result, the number of couples who decide to live together without marrying has reached a proliferate number.
Real 4 Christ Ministries wants to see a life change for these couples and be involved in training them on God's "dowry plan" on how to have a happy, healthy marriage.
