What is Mwamba Church Ministries International?

Origin and Brief History
Mwamba Church Ministries International (MCMI) is a Christian organization established in 2000 by The Rev Emmanuel Chemengich (Coordinator) in conjunction with The Rev. Rock Schuler (Chairman), Rector, The Church of the Holy Trinity, Lansdale, PA; The Rev. Marek Zabriskie, Rector, St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Whitemarsh, PA; and Bishop Stephen Kewasis of the Diocese of Kitale in the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK). Rev. Chemengich, a priest born, trained, and ordained in the same Diocese, plans to return to Kenya upon completion of his studies here in the U.S. "Mwamba" is a Kiswahili word for "rock" and represents the stability that Mwamba Ministries seeks to establish for the Kenyan Church.

Mission Field
Mwamba Ministries targets the area covered by the Anglican Diocese of Kitale stretching 400 miles north-south, and 200 miles east-west, situated in the north-western corner of Kenya, East Africa. Kitale Diocese has an Anglican Christian population of 150,000 people and 44 clergy serving it. 75% of this region lies under a semi-desert climatic condition, hence economically disadvantaged. Kitale Diocese is a newly formed diocese having been established in 1997.
