Turkana Community Ministry
The Turkana are a proud and strong people. They live in a harsh semi-arid area of North Western Kenya. They are historically nomadic, taking the livestock wherever they can find food and access to water. In 2004, Keshule Edapal (who is Turkana) and his wife Ali moved their family to the major town of Lodwar, in Kenya. With lots of prayers and trusting God over the years, they formed relationships with some wonderful people who have become integral to the work that the Edapals continue to guide and support from the UK.
The Turkana Community ministry is involved in Church Planting, using the model of friendship, evangelism, discipleship and mentoring. They offer adult literacy classes for both church members and non-members, and minister through a community gardens. Boreholes with solar pump systems for water security and teaching people how to grow food are a huge part of the ministry. They are also involved in sponsoring children to attend school, and have seen God’s faithfulness to the commitments made in the realm of education.
