    How Missional Communities Are Changing the Church in Kenya | Pastor Justin Dean | Kenya Kronicles

    What happens when a youth pastor in the Quad Cities meets a discouraged missionary in a coffee shop? Eighteen years later, it has led to sponsored children, a water well, new churches and a growing network of missional communities across Kenya. On this episode of Kenya Kronicles, Ken Peel and Rev. Joshua Ngao of Fishers of Men Ministries sit down with Pastor Justin Dean, lead and founding pastor of Sacred City Church. Justin shares how his youth group sponsored all 30 children Joshua brought to them, what surprised him on his first trip to Kenya, and why he went from suspicious to “all in” once he saw the ministry for himself. Justin and Joshua explain how missional communities, everyday believers making disciples over meals, service and Scripture, have transformed churches in Kenya. What started with a single training visit has grown to 22 missional communities across 11 churches. They also talk about the hunger for sound biblical teaching, the need to train more pastors in Swahili, and how the ministry is moving forward after the loss of Pastor Kennedy.

    Memories That Still Feel Like Right Now

He also opens up about how different a Kenyan graduation ceremony is from what we're used to here — parents dancing their kids in, joy radiating from the whole community. Part of the Kenya Kronicles series from Fishers of Men Ministries, hosted by Ken Peel with Joshua Ngao.

    The Trip to Kenya That Changed How a CPA Saw Ministry

    The Trip to Kenya That Changed How a CPA Saw Ministry A ministry can look impressive on paper and still be a mess behind the scenes. Tom Hammar explains why Fishers of Men Ministries stood out to him immediately—and why going to Kenya changed the way he thinks about giving, accountability, and what real impact looks like. Ken Peel hosts the conversation with Joshua Ngao, president and founder of Fishers of Men Ministries, and Tom Hammar, the CPA, board member, and former trip participant who helped oversee the books long before he ever stepped foot in Kenya. What starts as a finance conversation becomes something much bigger: a firsthand look at how donor trust is built, how overseas ministry can be verified, and why the human side of the work matters just as much as the numbers.You’ll discover: Why Tom was drawn in by the ministry’s lean overhead and unusual financial transparencyHow EFCA accreditation adds a layer of accountability donors should care aboutWhat changed when Tom finally traveled to Kenya and saw the ministry in actionHow child sponsorship becomes a real relationship, not just a monthly giftWhy Joshua says the most important work is preparing children, families, and communities for the futureJoshua shares how Fishers of Men serves through water wells, churches, schools, mission communities, and child sponsorships across Kenya. Tom adds a rare donor and CPA perspective, including what he tells other financial professionals to look for before supporting any nonprofit or ministry. This episode makes the case for something simple but powerful: when money is handled with integrity, it opens the door for life-changing work. And when you see that work up close, it becomes impossible to think of sponsorship, giving, or missions the same way again. Essential listening if you care about faith-based impact, financial accountability, or finding a ministry you can trust with your support.
