International Missions
Walking alongside communities, one nation at a time.
Our international work is built on partnership — long-term relationships with local leaders, churches, and communities that know their people best.

Kenya.
Loving, serving, building.
A team from Shiloh traveled to the Getembe Orphanage, Kisii, Kenya to serve the students and staff. Together with local leaders, we delivered mattresses, school supplies, uniforms, and other essentials — and completed improvements to the campus the children use every day.
Our goal is not a one-time visit. We partner with local leaders so the work continues long after the team returns home — sustained by relationship, prayer, and ongoing support from the Foundation.

The road to sustainability

On the ground
Locally led, day after day.
Poultry income
Daily egg collection and sales are tracked, with proceeds reinvested into feed, seed, and produce for the children.
Garden of Hope harvest
The first vegetables planted in the garden have been harvested — some stored, some already on the children's plates.
Supply forecasting
Hygiene and sanitary supply usage is monitored so future purchases match real need, not guesswork.
Community partnership
A local shop now extends the village a standing discount in recognition of the ongoing partnership.
"One Church. One Mission. All Nations."

Our approach
Missions that last.
01
Partner first
We build long-term relationships with local pastors, chiefs, and community leaders before a single team travels — because they know their people best.
02
Serve on the ground
Teams work side-by-side with partners, engineers, and villagers — building, teaching, encouraging, and caring for practical needs, together.
03
Sustain the work
This does not stop here. We return, we tend the field, and we continue to fund what our partners tell us is most needed next.
What's next
Continuing the work — in Kenya and beyond.
The next return trip to Kenya is planned for January 2027. Every gift funds tuition, supplies, and the infrastructure that keeps Getembe moving toward self-sufficiency.
