His Healing Hands in Kenya
CURRENT PROJECTS
1
We Provide Water Sanitation & Hygiene Education
In Kenya, 12.5 million people do not have access to an improved drinking water source, and only 33% of children younger than 5 years old receive adequate treatment for water-borne diarrhea. In Western Kenya, for villages along Lake Victoria the situation is even worse.
So Paul's WASH ministry hopes to reach thousands of students and their families in Kenya with life-saving information about how to get, handle, and use water.
Paul is currently working in fifty remote rural villages: Nyamboyo, Kokwanyo, Kargi, and the Kibera slum to name a few. His program grew out of his master's degree work and is based on successful water hygiene programs used worldwide.

We Host Short-Term Teams
Is your church or medical team heading for Africa? Consider Kenya and consider Owino Ministries as the host.
We can coordinate your accommodations, transportation, and provide appropriate needy people who will benefit from your team's work. We want to see that your short term trip has long term impact on the local people and that you experience fellowship and a mutual building relationship from our partnership.
There are opportunities throughout the year for individuals and groups to join our local teams and share in making the message of love of Christ known by word and action.
Pine Lake Church Mission team served and worked with Paul and the locals for two weeks in the remote village teaching hygiene, bible study, having fellowship, giving relief food, medical treatment, and building bathrooms and toilets.
One of many things that short term missionaries do is working with the locals to build latrines in remote villages and share love of Jesus at the same time.

The Apostle Paul said, "I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some. Now I do all this because of the gospel, so I may become a partner in its benefits" (1 Cor. 9:22-23).

Evangelize & Make Disciples of Christ
The Great Commission (Mat. 28:18-28) is our prime ministry. We are committed in showing and sharing the love of Christ Jesus to a broken and lost world. I agreed with Keith Falconer who said, “I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light."
As Christians we are commanded to be a doer of the word. Our ministry is a small ministry in Kenya but it has a big calling to evangelize and make disciples of Christ. We achieve these through a wide range of outreach activities shown in the pictures on the right.
Whether in villages or on a fund-raising tour to the United States with His Healing Hands, Paul cis called to preach the word of God.
Jillian, a missionary volunteer, is helping in one of the schools we partner with to share the love of God by giving her testimony on how Jesus change her life. This encouraged the pupils to love God.
We care for various childrens' needs in our ministry ranging including feeding, clothing, educating, providing health services, and most importantly teaching them God’s word.
