Our mission statement of purpose is,“to honour God by making Christian literature & resources available & accessible to all nations, to help people come to faith and maturity in the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The vision continues in Kenya...

CLC Kenya, started in 2007 achieves its mandate through partnerships with international ministries with content relevant for the East Africa community and Africa at large. It also partners with the local churches and ministries to be able to spread the Word of God through channels relevant to the specific organizations.

 

 

THE ETHOS OF OUR MISSION IS BUILT ON FOUR CORE VALUES
To have FELLOWSHIP between members and others of the family of faith which we achieve through ACCOUNTABILITY of our activities, accept responsibility for them and disclose the results in a transparent manner.

To have a personal walk of HOLINESS with God and a desire to be holy before God. We achieve this through TRANSPARENCY by having clear policies and leadership practices that honour God and give a powerful Christian testimony of holiness and trust to our communities and other CLC workers.

To have a willingness to SACRIFICE all for our Savior and Lord to a point where we go outside our comfort zones. We achieve this through INNOVATION where we adopt new technologies, training, practices and strategies to provide for the needs of those we serve.

To live a life of FAITH and trust in the living God. We achieve this by pursuing SUSTAINABILITY in financial status that allows us to do ministry in an effective way while investing in future leadership to ensure our ministry and vision will continue with passion.
