History
Origins
The Kanisa la Mennonite Tanzania (KMT), which was planted by Eastern Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities (EMBMC) in the 1930s, spread the gospel to Kenya throughout the subsequent decades.[3] Pastors and church members in primarily village communities were responsible for the evangelistic activity.[4]
