The Christian Fellowship Churches (CFC) and Child Care Ministries (CCM) in Busia, offer holistic ministry leadership training and care to people in their local communities. In the recent past, these communities have experienced wars, hostile nomadic tribe invasions, HIV/AIDS, disease and poverty. Although matters have been improving, some of these issues remain everyday realities for the community. The ministry offers the Good News of Jesus while showing and practicing His love.
CFC/CCM provides micro-loans, education support and vocational training for churches and pastors, and other local people in their communities. Vocational training is becoming increasingly popular as there is a growing awareness that traditional tertiary (university) education does not guarantee that a person will be able to get a job or earn a living. There has also been a good, and growing, uptake of Foundations for Farming training. At present, 220 families are being assisted, 50 children are being supported into schooling, 20 elderly, disabled or chronically ill people are being helped, 179 families are accessing microloans and 40 people are in vocational or agricultural training.
