You can be the answer to someone’s prayer.
For over 13 years, Josh and Kelsey Lawrence have faithfully served in Kenya, pouring their hearts into the people and community of Eldoret. Shortly after getting married—and while expecting their first child—they followed God’s call to plant Calvary Chapel Eldoret, which has since become a thriving, hope-filled church. Now raising their three children, all born in Kenya, the Lawrences continue to lead with love, humility, and vision. Josh also serves as the founder and leader of Great Commission Ministries. Your prayers and support help sustain their ongoing mission to reach, disciple, and bring the Gospel to those in need.
United by a shared passion to serve orphaned and vulnerable children, Storm and Sophie began their journey together through the New Routes Foundation, an NGO they founded soon after marrying in 2018. After moving to Eldoret, Kenya, they became deeply rooted in Calvary Chapel Eldoret, where Storm served as a pastor and led the men’s ministry, and Sophie taught and discipled women with grace and wisdom. In 2022, following God’s call, they returned to South Africa to plant Calvary Chapel Dolphin Coast in Ballito. What began as a small home Bible study is now growing steadily as God continues to use their faith and dedication to reach hearts and strengthen believers through the teaching of His Word.
Born in Goma, Congo, Daniel was raised in a pastor’s home and gifted with a passion for music and ministry. In 2015, his musical talent brought him to Eldoret, Kenya, where he joined Calvary Chapel Eldoret and served faithfully in worship and young adult ministry. After marrying Susan in 2020, the couple felt called to return to Congo with a renewed vision—to plant a church committed to teaching God’s Word verse by verse. In 2021, amid challenges and instability, they founded Calvary Chapel Goma. Through small home fellowships and evangelistic outreach using music, Daniel and Susan continue to see lives transformed and a growing community rooted in Scripture and hope.
Jake Hendrickson serves in Eldoret, Kenya, where he combines his skills in the trades with his passion for ministry to glorify God and bless the local community. Having always worked in building, repairing, and creating, Jake now uses these practical abilities to make a lasting, eternal impact—especially through his work on GCM construction projects, which support the growth of local ministry and community development.
He completed the School of Ministry at Calvary Chapel Bangor, which equipped him to step into full-time ministry with purpose and dedication. Guided by Jesus’ words in Luke 18:22, “Come, follow me,” and motivated by the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18–20, “Go and make disciples of all nations,” Jake seeks to live a life of obedience and service in every aspect of his work.
Eldoret has become home, and Jake is inspired daily by the faith, resilience, and joy of the people he serves. His prayer is that in every interaction and every project—especially his work on GCM construction projects—people see Jesus more clearly than they see him.
Jake is deeply grateful for those who pray, support, and encourage him, knowing that their partnership makes this ministry possible and contributes to the incredible work God is doing in Kenya.
McKenzie Hobert is a missionary serving full-time in Kenya, walking in a calling sought diligently through prayer and fasting. After her first trip to Africa in 2023, it became clear that the Lord was leading her to serve communities in Eldoret through Calvary Chapel Eldoret and GCM.
She began her journey with a two-month missions trip, where she supported children’s outreach, community evangelism, and local church ministries. Later that same year, she was accepted for a six-month internship at GCM. During that time, McKenzie coordinated mission travel, planned community outreaches across the city, helped organize GCM events, produced digital content for ministry communication, and served wherever there was a need.
Her work extends beyond the walls of the church. She has helped distribute food to vulnerable families, shared the gospel on the streets, and invested in learning Swahili to better connect with the community she serves.
McKenzie is now serving as a full-time missionary in Kenya, committed to long-term discipleship, community outreach, and strengthening local ministry efforts. Her heart is to continue building relationships, supporting ongoing missions work, and serving in whatever capacity the Lord directs.
