Mission
Supporting, promoting and encouraging mission at home and overseas
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

“Empowering families to create healthy communities”
YADA partner with families in identifying the desires and dreams of the community and finding solutions to create sustainable change while always pointing to Jesus, who alone offers hope and abundant life. We are not interested in simply offering aid, but rather, beginning with and centred on continual friendship, empowering the community to lead the way while encouraging the prioritisation of the spiritual, physical, and emotional care of each person.
Living in Bujumbura and working mainly with the Batwa people, a small and vulnerable people group living on the edge of the city dump, Nicola and Ezechiel seek to:
– Encourage children to go to school through child sponsorship;
– Provide safe spaced for children and young people to play;
– Empower families to support themselves through small business enterprises.
Stephen and Angelina Cowan
PCI in Kenya
Stephen and Angelina Cowan
Stephen and Angelina have been serving amongst the Samburu and Turkana people in Samburu County in northern Kenya since 1989. They serve with PCI’s partner in Kenya, the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) and are based in Tuum with other strategic outposts at Seren and Wuaso Rongai.
Their work of the past 30 years has built a strong foundation, introducing the Bible and Jesus to the Samburu and Turkana people. This has been done practical ways, by building strong relationships, as well as preaching. Cultural thinking is still very strong, and only a few families would seek to put Biblical values above cultural expectations.
Stephen and Angelina have three children. Caragh and Jason are now in further / higher education in the UK. Annissa is still at boarding school in Kenya.
Shore Street have sent multiple teams over the past ten years to support the ministry in Tuum by running Summer Youth Camps.
