The Background Johann Ludwig Krapf and Johannes Rebmann arrived in Kenya in 1840’s and first established Christianity among the Mijikenda. Christianity is strong in the urban areas of Kenya where the populace can support church workers through tithes and offerings. In the rural areas, there is less financial resource resulting in a poor access to churches and trained church workers. Overview Silent Stones Alliance started about after observing poverty, illiteracy and hopelessness among the people in rural coastal Kenya. We realized that the problem was spiritual in nature and that we could reverse the situation by providing hope through the Word of God. We therefore support the planting of churches in rural Kenya as this is one of the most effective ways of spreading the Word of God. How We Started This background informed the formation of Silent Stones Alliance LLP to increase the spread of Christianity in Kenya. In April 2013, Silent Stones started by operating by depositing and deploying financial resources for the benefit of rural churches. The first activities included purchasing public address equipment for missionaries, bibles for the faithful and new converts including prisoners.
