Church Planting

11. Peace Building
• Friends are committed to
uphold Quaker peace
testimony in Samburu.
• For years the Samburu have
fought with neighbouring
Turkana and Pokot people.
• These ancient clashes are the
result:
– Limited grazing areas
– Scarce water resources.
– The practice of cattle rustling.
• Many innocent lives are lost.

12. The leaders of the Samburu
Mission are seeking to
establish a lasting peace by
– Proclaiming the message of
Christ’s peace.
– Engaging key tribal leaders.
– Hosting peace negotiations
among warring groups.
– And plan to teach AVP
(Alternatives to Violence
Program) classes.

17. Medical Care
Samburu Friends provide
medical care to the
community as away of
reaching out to our
neighbors with the healing
love of Jesus Christ.
Friends have one
Dispensary in Loltulelei
that serves approximately
10,000 people.

18. Losuk Upper Hill
Friends built a nice
dispensary at Upper Hill
in Losuk to serve both the
Samburu and Pokot
people. Unfortunately it
was destroyed during the
post-election violence of
2008. We are praying
about re-establishing
critical medical services in
this area.
