Njoro Nursing and Counseling Center, Molo Girls Hostel, and United Orphanage and Academy
The Meeting House began work in Kenya through The Kenya Partnership, a National Capital Presbytery (NCP) “presbytery-to-presbytery” program with Elburgon Presbytery, located in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya's highland region. It was intended to bring together Christians from around the world to spread the news that God is alive and at work in our relationships. This partnership has resulted three exchange trips between the National Capital and Elburgon Presbyteries. In 2003 17 NCP delegates spent three weeks in Kenya, visiting parishes, working in medical clinics, and collaborating on partnership objectives and future plans. In 2004 a Kenyan delegation visited Washington, including the Meeting House. Since 2005, the NCP has continued relationships with projects initiated under the Partnership under the auspices of the NCP Kenya Network.
In July, 2006 a joint group from the Meeting House and Westminster Presbyterian (Alexandria) visited Elburgon Presbytery, and received extraordinary hospitality from the Elburgon members. The two groups shared worship, fellowship, planning. During this trip, a visit was made to the United Orphanage and Academy in Mois’s Bridge in western Kenya which is home for 42 children many of who were orphaned by HIV/AIDS children, which the Westminster congregation founded. The Meeting House made a followup visit to Kenya to spend time at the orphanage and to visit the Njoro Nursing and Counseling Center and Molo Girls Hostel, two projects started under the partnership and supported by the Meeting House.
The Meeting House is coordinator for the NCP Kenya Network for the Njoro Nursing and Counseling Center and the Molo Girls Hostel and is an active in the NCP Global Missions Executive Committee. The Meeting House provides financial support for medical supplies and water projects at Njoro Nursing and Counseling Center and for facilities development at the Girls Hostel in Molo, as well as support for the United Orphanage and Academy. In 2006 the Browns, medical missionaries in Kenya, spoke at the meeting house in the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa and Rev Phyllis Byrd, Associate Pastor at St. Andrews Church in Nairobi and coordinator of the PC9USA) youth volunteer program in Kenya, spent a week visiting with members of the congregation and speaking at the Meeting House.
