LIA Regional Office & LIA Kenya

Mission

History

Before LIA was registered as an organization, the vision was first piloted by Florence and Festus Muindi in Maasai land, Kenya in the years 1996-98. By the time they went to start the ministry in Ethiopia, some strategies for integrated care and wholistic ministries were already formed. After the launch of LIA in Ethiopia, Florence returned to Kenya in 2004, both to respond to recognized needs for wholistic ministry in the country, and to establish a base for LIA to facilitate reach into the countries in the region. The Kenya country office was established and registered as a non-governmental organization.
