Kenyan Missionaries
Steve and Nancy Peifer went to Kenya in 1999 after the loss of an infant son to
a rare genetic disease. With their older sons, JT and Matthew, they went seeking
healing through an effort to lift themselves out of their sorrow by serving others.
Their service was through Africa Inland Mission and involved being house parents
to children at Rift Valley Academy (RVA). What began as a year experiment turned
into a full time way of life, as they sold everything, left corporate America, and
have now been full time missionaries at RVA for five years. The service of the Peifers
is not limited to their duties at RVA but has extended into the surrounding poor
Kenyan communities through beginning and sustaining a lunch program to feed desperately
poor school children and even provide amazing computer centers at two schools. Both
of these projects are ongoing and growing through funds donated by hundreds of people
throughout the U.S. who follow the Peifer mission through thoughtful emails Steve
periodically sends out. In these messages filled with humor and frustration, sadness
and joy, Steve gives a glimpse into his life and those of the Kenyans he has come
to love. The past emails have been collected and published in a book. Following
is a link which will give more detail about the Peifers and access to all Steve's
past emails.
