Eph 3:15 “From whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.”

Is a community fueled by a love for God and His Kingdom and the desire to make that love known in practical tangible ways in the community? Our hearts beat with a passion to see people and communities thrive and live out their full God-given potential. We carry a special passion to see the children and youth in our communities realize and begin to walk out their leadership capabilities as they are fully part of the process of community and systemic transformation. True transformation in an intergenerational endeavor. It is our joy to see fathers and mothers rise up in the Kingdom to support and raise up champions of Kenya who carry the mandate of changing our society through the power of love and truth. They are today’s leaders, a source of inspiration and motivation for national transformation.

Being African, we are keenly aware of the struggles and hardships faced by Africans in general, but Kenyans in particular. We live and breathe by the knowledge that through Christ, these struggles can be overcome and that there are solutions to every single one of the problems we encounter on a daily basis as a nation. We have given our lives to finding those solutions, by mobilising a generation to be creative and innovate. We noticed that art was not an arena that had been fully exploited to affect societal change. Our God is Creator and He wants us to be creative in addressing problems just as He is. Our ministry uses the arts to engage our people and reveal the Father’s heart and innovate and infuse life into our communities.

By engaging our people through the arts, we want to begin to see the emergence of young people as leaders in the community who are able to challenge the status quo and evoke new thinking. Art is not just being limited to the performing, literary and fine arts, but just as God does, to see art as an expression of creativity in all spheres, therefore scientific creativity and innovation as art, entrepreneurship as art, leadership as art. The queen of Sheba was amazed at the wisdom and creativity with which King Solomon ruled (2 Chronicles 9:3-4).

“Pastor Bill Johnson from Redding California describes wisdom as the expression of excellence, creativity, and integrity.”
