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.

Cute Kids, Sobering Thoughts


As Nancy and I think about the ANU opportunity, we can't help but think about the beautiful children we're seeing. Africa and Kenya are facing challenges that will almost certainly impact their lives: the AIDS epidemic, violence in neighboring countries, and poverty. According to UNICEF the life expectancy of Kenyan children at birth is 48 years. The message of Jesus Christ and the power of Christian higher education are essential to the future of these children and the future of Africa. No pressure :-)
