Tenwek Hospital is one of the world’s largest Christian mission hospitals. Nearly a dozen medical missionaries are serving in long-term assignments there. Many are accompanied by spouses and children who live among and serve Tenwek’s community and neighbors.

These dedicated missionary families are a powerful witness for the Gospel. They demonstrate the love and compassion of Christ and his church through acts of service that improve the lives and futures of their Kenyan neighbors. They also are instrumental in strengthening the influence and impact of local churches.

The missionaries listed below are currently serving at Tenwek Hospital. You can connect to their recent blog posts in the column at left or by selecting from the names below. You can use the links under some names to read stories about these families that have appeared in FOT’s Tenwek Today newsletter.
