From the point of our calling to missions in 1990 until today, The Master's Mission has been an essential part of our work here in Kenya.  Having been born and reared in an urban setting in the U.S., you can understand our fear and trepidation when confronted with the prospect of living in the bush of Africa. However, the training I received from TMM not only gave me the biblical training I needed but also the technical abilities to succeed in this hostile environment.  We learned how to cut firewood, start a campfire, and acquired skills in hiking, camping, fishing, and learning how to locate a source of water. All of these experiences helped us undertake the task of pioneering a new mission outreach in the bush of Maasai land.
