A bridge of faith between Kenya and Germany.

Christian Missions Centre — Machakos exists for one vision: increased access of the Gospel in Germany.

Our story · “The Ark”

Rooted in Machakos, reaching to Germany.

The dream of a missions centre was born in the 1990s. In 2009 the Lord drew our founders to Germany — Caroline studied in Kassel for two years while both served in a local church — and it became clear that Europe had grown into a needy ground for the Gospel.

Returning to Kenya in 2011, they sought a piece of land and let God till it. A mentorship camp began in 2016; brick by brick, timber by timber, a modest facility rose. We named the long project “the Ark” — a reminder of God's redemptive triumph, and the heartbeat of the centre.

CMC is registered in Kenya as a Trust, advancing the Gospel through facilitation, training and relevant support services.
