Loving Your Neighbour Practically

In eastern Kenya, a village community has been experiencing the practical outworking of the Good News since 2017. Nestled in the interior of Kilifi County’s coastal region, an organisation called Love Your Neighbour - one of Links’ Act4You clients - is sharing the Kingdom of God through hands-on projects such as livestock rearing, vocational training, women’s empowerment, and disability awareness initiatives.

In August, Sam, our Africa Region Director, together with Isaac from our Links Africa Hub, visited Love Your Neighbour to lead practical training in agriculture, first aid, and disability empowerment. As the organisation continues to grow, it plans to establish a model and training farm where people can learn sustainable farming techniques. Staff and volunteers were encouraged to see how easily they could improve local soils through organic thermal composting. In this region, the soil is sandy and degraded; with renewal efforts and consistent irrigation, the land will be well-suited for growing staple crops and fruit.

Another highlight of the visit was meeting the Inuka MED group as they prepared to launch a loan programme for 10–15 borrowers in the coming months. The group has worked diligently to set up their committee, and we’re eager to see how these loans will impact the poorest in the community.

Loving your neighbour certainly includes praying for them and offering spiritual discipleship - but it also means walking alongside them, meeting practical needs, and helping transform their daily lives. We believe Love Your Neighbour will see even greater community transformation in the years ahead. Please pray for them, and, if you are able, consider supporting their mission.
