Scripture Mission Voi

Our ministries

2009-09-08T07:28:00.000-07:00

Scripture Mission Radio (SMR) is the radio department of Scripture Mission East Africa (NLM East Africa) and has been operational since 1982. The department runs a number of ministries- some directly linked to the Radio Ministry and some as support projects.

- SIFA FM 107.7
- Gospel Music Production
- Project Hannah
- SM Conference Facility-Voi
- Fruit Farm and Fish Ponds

Our strength and motivation are based on the truth that, the lost will never believe in Christ until they hear the message about him. For, “…faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ” (Rom. 10:17). You are welcome to privilege and joy of partnering with us as we partner with Christ in building His Church.

Fruit farm and fish ponds

2009-09-08T04:51:00.000-07:00

In an effort to raise our local income and to link with the community around us, Scripture Mission runs a small farm with approximately 90 orange trees, 2000 Moringa trees, and a 1200 seedlings’ nursery. In addition the farm has three 14-metre-diameter fish ponds stocked with Tilapia.

Besides being an income earner, the farm and fish ponds ensure our ministry’s contact with the community around us through educational tours and the sale of seedlings and tilapia fingerlings to farmers.

Project Hannah

2009-09-08T04:42:00.000-07:00

Project Hannah is a new women Ministry in Scripture Mission. The ministry aims at sensitizing, educating and mobilizing women to pray for issues affecting women all over the world. With its base in the United States, the ministry distributes a monthly prayer calendar, each month focusing on a particular country. The calendars are then distributed to thousands of women prayer groups who, in addition to their own local needs are challenged to pray for women in other countries as well.

Project Hannah Voi initiative is the first in Kenya and has 14 women prayer groups with 130 active members to date. These women meet in a home of their choice and at a time and day they can all agree.

In addition to the prayer movement, Project Hannah runs a thirty-minutes’ weekly radio program- Women of Hope. The Radio program also deals with women related issues - marriage and family, hygiene, women rights, etc.- and is prepared and presented by women. The aim of the programs is to raise, sensitize and motivate women on their role and right in the society, while they look at God as the author of the family and the provider of every good in this life and the life to come.

Our guesthouse

The guesthouse at Scripture Mission can accommodate groups as well as single travellers for an overnight stay and meals.

Voi is situated along the road from Nairobi to Mombasa, close to one of the gates of Tsavo East National Park. If you plan to drive from Nairobi to the coast, Scripture Mission Voi will be a perfect place to spend one or more nights. You will be able to see the site where NLMs mission work in Kenya started in 1971, and experience the bird and animal life in one of the largest national parks in Kenya.

From the guesthouse in Voi

SM Conference Facility-VoiThis is a seventy- bed conference facility with every basic need for a workshop, seminar, business planning retreats, family retreats, and group holidays. The facility is located only 3 km from Voi town, thus ensuring both proximity to town services and the silence we all treasure while on a seminar or retreat.

Scripture Mission Conference facility is well-suited for short evangelism missions, and missions educational tours. We have in the past hosted a number of Norwegian Folk High schools, the TeFT group and other organized groups. Again, being only 5km from the famous Tsavo East National Park, the guest facility is well suited for game drives and people interested in wildlife research in the park.

Money collected from the conference facility goes directly into the Radio Ministry. Your stay at the Scripture Mission conference facility helps somebody hear the Gospel. Come stay with us! Come partner with us!

Welcome to Voi!

SIFA FM 107.7

2008-02-21T06:28:00.000-08:00

Since January 2008, Scripture Mission has been running a local Christian FM Radio in partnership with TransWorld Radio, Kenya. SIFA FM is the name of the Radio, and is an answer to many years of prayer in Scripture Mission.

The Radio is located at Scripture Mission, Voi- 350km South East of Nairobi. The 600w transmitter is on the highest peak in the region and covers a 250 km radius of strong signal area.

Being situated in the Coast Province of Kenya, Sifa FM covers a big portion of the Muslim concentration in Kenya, including the major towns along the coast. The potential audience is estimated at 3 million, and includes people groups that are basically 100% Muslim. Scripture Mission runs a 3hour-broadcast block daily, which translates to 36 twenty- minutes’ evangelism and discipleship programs per week. 6 programs out these are specifically targeted to Muslim listeners.

TransWorld Radio, takes the rest of the time with local programs and a satellite Radio from Transworld Radio, South Africa. All together Sifa FM runs 24hours of Gospel and socio-economic broadcast daily.

We have available airtime for a variety of issues- Evangelism, missions, marriage and family, youth programs, children programs, women programs, HIV and AIDS, wildlife conservation, peace and reconciliation, and farming, among others.

Gospel Music Production
The Sound Studio at Scripture Mission has a state of the heart facility for analogue and Digital audio recording and production. Hundreds of local groups have recorded their music in this studio over the years. Recently the studio acquired a Digital Multi-track sound card enabling us to conveniently record both large groups and single artists. The goal of our sound studio is to help you record your music first for ministry purposes, but still music that will compete well in the market.
