Vic Verchereau welcomes Dr. Wallace Kamau and Mary Kamau, who are co-founders of Missions of Hope International.
They are the latest guests for six segments with Vic Verchereau on Leadership Lowdown.
In 1992 a Kenyan church worship leader introduced Executive Director, Mary Kamau (then a college student), to his former home on the streets of Nairobi. This visit to Mathare Valley profoundly affected Mary’s life and inspired Missions of Hope International future work (MOHI). Around the same time, Wallace Kamau, Mary’s future husband and co-founder of MOHI, also felt led to minister in Mathare Valley as a college student.
They started talking about long-term ministry to families in Mathare. From their own volunteer experiences, they knew what didn’t work, so-called “hit and run” efforts that provided temporary services but no lasting commitment to the community. They also recognized the type of ministry that would work best: Reaching children as an entry point into families, then the community, to bring about lasting, holistic transformation.
Out of these connections, Missions of Hope International was formed. Serving 50 children in one section of the slums to more than 16,000 children in 23 different communities throughout Kenya. MOHI schools are holistic resource centers that provide a quality education, basic health care, job skills training, microfinance loans, counseling and other services.
Vic Verchereau gets the Kamau’s to share their story and amazing journey. They decided to follow God’s lead and impact the world around them. Listen in as we hear the story of the spirit of giving and changing the world where you can.
