Kenya Trip Recap | Holy Trinity Church

On August 4, a team of twelve from Holy Trinity Church, led in part by Neopolis Interim Director of Global Operations, Sully Curtin, traveled from Chicago to Nairobi to spend a week visiting Neopolis ministry partners in Kenya and East Africa. They visited churches, schools, ministry organizations, and homes and learned about what the work of the gospel looks like in Kenya, and how the Western church can best partner in it.
