Welcome to our Blog! What are the goals of "Africonnection"? To further the Kingdom. To help North American friends make a connection with the lives and experiences of their brothers and sisters in Africa. And to give North American friends an opportunity to partner with Africa Nazarene University as it supports the Kingdom through the Church of the Nazarene in Africa.

Kenya and America


Just as the "Africonnection" wants to connect Americans with Africans, Kenyans like America and things American. In a recent Newsweek article which ranked countries in terms of their favorable perceptions about America, Kenya ranked in the top three with a 74% favorable rating. National Public Radio indicated that American country music from the 1970's and 80's is very popular, with Kenny Rogers a particular favorite.
