Women in Action

2013 National Conference

This past Sunday, we journeyed to the community of Kigumo, in Kenya's Central Province, with Aaron's parents, Cecil and Marie Kenny, to participate in the ACC&S's annual Women's Celebration. Well over 2500 women representatives from each of the ACC&S's 9 regions gathered for a day of worship and solidarity as "Women in Action" at the Kigumo Bendera Boys Secondary School.

Erica was invited by the ACC&S moderator, Dr. Julius Karanja, to give a key address to the women. She shared about the importance of the Church as the full body of Christ, encouraging the ACC&S to continue to value the diversity and unique contributions of every person, and for women to embrace God's purposes for them in the communities where they have been place.

who have walked together for almost 40 years. It was a privilege to meet past-moderators and leaders of the ACC&S who had been a key part of the original discussions with CBM leaders like John Keith and Bob Berry back in the early 1970's when our partnership began.

Women with a strong voice!
