Real Life Stories
Kahawa Media has been blessed with a team of extremely creative people who generate ideas for new ministry products every week. Of course, we do not have the time, resources or people to start a new project every week, and so we ask:
- What’s the issue?
- What does the Bible say is the answer?
- Who’s the audience, and what do they like?
- Can we make something that will be relevant to the audience, and convey the Biblical answer to this issue?
- Can it be made affordably?
- If we made it, could we deploy it in an impactful way?
By answering these questions, we can quickly determine if an idea should go on the board for future consideration. With a lot of prayer, we then determine which new projects to undertake as existing projects move from creation into distribution.
In all of our media products, we strive to present the gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that is easily understood by the target audience. Our media products call people to take actions that will bring fruit in the kingdom of God. Evangelism tools invite non-Christians to accept Christ, discipleship tools encourage believers to grow, and missions tools equip churches to spread the good news to the ends of the earth.
Our History
Over the decades that this ministry has been active in East Africa, we have been called by several different names. Our current name, Kahawa Media, is only the most recent. Looking back at the different names that we’ve had, we can clearly see how God has blessed us at each stage, and how He has expanded our vision and increased the reach of the ministry.
