Projects

Through the Proclaim Ministries, we seek to send missionaries to serve, plant churches, support pastors, establish programs for handicapped orphans, and for facility construction, services, food, material goods and supplies needed to assist those in need.

Each year our project list is updated when projects are completed.  Sending missionaries is always a high priority, along with identifying and meeting special needs of the children and orphanage.  The descriptions that follow provide a view into those activities Proclaim Ministries is seeking to support.


Main Road and Entry Areas Paving Project

We want to alert you to a new opportunity to bless the orphans at the In Step Children’s Home in Kenya. This is the first announcement of the Main Road and Entry Areas Paving Project. It is the first of its kind and is designed to address yearly rain issues for both children and missionaries. Designed to cover an area of 11,000 square feet, it will be the largest surface area upgrade project ever completed at In Step.


The Project will cover the entire main entrance and drive areas that wrap around the campus Main House. Currently, this area is all uneven and rutted red clay. When it rains, as it does for 8 months each year, it turns into a sloppy, slippery, gooey mess. This translates to countless hours spent by the children and the staff cleaning shoes, clothes and floors to remove the red clay. The rains don’t just drizzle there, they pour down in torrential sheets of water quickly collecting on the ground. To be specific, in just 8 months over 45 inches of rain falls on In Step in the average year.

Sending Missionaries to In Step Children's Home 

Each year Proclaim Ministries has enabled Tracy & Tamara to serve for 2 to 4 months at the In Step Children's Home in Northwest Kenya. Six years ago they said “Hineni” Lord! (Here I am) use me! They have continued to hear God’s call to serve these precious little ones each year.  

In Step Children’s Home has grown to over 206 orphans. Their Mission is to protect, love, educate, and provide medical and long-term care to the abandoned, orphaned and abused children of Kenya. 

 What makes In Step Children’s Home unique is that it accepts the youngest of these children, some only days old when they arrive. You can be part of the amazing In Step story that is about God’s Grace and His Abundant Love in providing for these children by joining us as Missionary Partners in the prayerful support of our missionary service.  

This is why your prayers as a Missionary Partner with us who are able to serve in person are so important. 

 While home in the States they serve in outreach programs in their church and community. For them, sharing the love of God has no boundaries.


Other Future PRojects

Operations and Maintenance building

This may sound strange but a critical feature of being able to keep a 206 orphan's home running is its maintenance.  Spread out over 20 acres, the In Step Children's Home has many buildings and facilities that require daily maintenance.  Currently, only this 15 x 20 foot "shop" is serving the purpose of tool, supply and work area for those responsible for the maintenance of the orphanage. 

 A 60 x30 foot slab is already in place and available.   All that is needed are the walls and roof.  This expansion would make a big difference to the ability to keep needed tools, supplies, materials and a larger covered workspace available for use.


Connecting Sidewalk Network

Walks connecting dormitory, dining hall, kitchen, and main house are all red clay. The mess during the rainy season daily creates hours of additional cleaning of floors and clothes, and maintenance that paving connected paths will eliminate.

deaf/Blind CareGiver in the Stepping Stones Care Unit

In the Stepping Stones Care Unit, there are two young girls who are both deaf and blind.  Their care needs are special and require a care partner who will be dedicated to their wellbeing.  This caregiver would provide the additional attention needed for them to be brought into the Stepping Stone community interaction.  Having someone to sit with them, help them learn to explore their worlds and be more self-sufficient is our goal.
