Bringing food, shelter, and education to children. Rooted in the Gospel and discipleship.

We believe those whom we rescue from the streets should be plugged into a local body of believers which the New Testament calls the church. We are church oriented in all that we do.

Our Story, Our Mission:
Bringing Hope to Africa

In 2010, Josh and Kelsey Lawrence stepped into the beautiful nation of Kenya with a simple but powerful vision: to plant a church that would bring both hope and transformation. What began as Calvary Chapel Eldoret quickly grew into a beacon of light — renewing lives, strengthening families, and inspiring communities across Africa.

Over the past 13 years, our journey has taken us from the dusty plains of rural villages to the bustle of major cities. Everywhere we go, the needs are immense — children without food or shelter, women trapped in poverty and abuse, and entire communities without the hope of Christ. We have seen firsthand that poverty is more than hunger or lack of clothing — it is hopelessness. And the greatest tragedy is that so many who suffer have never heard of Jesus, the Savior of the world.

That is why our mission is both physical and spiritual. We provide food, clothing, education, and shelter, but we also share the good news of Christ, who alone can bring lasting healing. Our focus is not only to rescue children and support underprivileged women but also to plant churches that will disciple, nurture, and transform. Because we believe, as Jesus promised, that “the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church.”

At GCM, we are convinced that real change only happens when the body and the soul are cared for together. This conviction shapes everything we do: building Hope Homes for orphans, creating safe spaces for women, and equipping local churches to shine as pillars of truth in their communities. Each act of service is an act of worship—an offering of love to the God who calls us to serve “the least of these.”

“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” — James 1:27

“Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.” — Proverbs 14:31

We remain humbled and grateful for this journey. Despite the challenges, the reward has been immeasurable: seeing lives changed, communities revived, and hope restored through the power of Jesus Christ. And this is only the beginning.

Together, we can make a lasting difference,
one life at a time.

Bringing hope and transformation to communities through the Gospel, discipleship, and compassionate care.

A world where every child knows God’s love, grows in faith, and thrives with the support of the local church.

Making an Impact

Planting New Churches

We believe the church is the backbone of society and the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. The foundation of GCM is the church where people can be encouraged and receive discipleship.

Training Missionaries

We train both native and foreign missionaries to serve in Africa. This training will enable those to go and be effective in the various ministries they will be serving in.

Rescuing Women

We rescue women who have been sexually or physically abused, often left vulnerable and pregnant. We bring them out of danger and provide safe, temporary housing.

Building Hope Homes

We rescue orphans and put them in one of our Hope Homes. The children who have become family will be taken to one of our local churches and discipled .

Drilling Wells

We dig wells or drill bore holes to provide clean and sustainable water to locals.
