We are a Team of people from two distant nations who share a common heart for the country of Kenya and her people to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost.

Vision

API USA partners with the pastors, churches and Kenyan leaders to proclaim the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of Kenya in both word and deed.

Mission

API USA is committed to providing fiscal, intellectual and corporate resources to the people of Kenya by:

  • equipping local pastors and leaders to effectively serve their congregations and communities and to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of Kenya
  • implementing a comprehensive healthcare delivery system with a concentration in primary care
  • developing a three-tiered model to care for orphan and vulnerable children (OVC)
  • improving faith-based schools through teacher training and the implementation of effective learning methodologies
  • adding an evangelistic component to many of our areas of ministry to serve as a catalyst for church planting as well as the growth of existing churches
  • providing micro-finance loans to pastors and others to stimulate entrepreneurial initiatives
  • implementing community development projects that will provide safe drinking water and markedly reduce health problems caused by pollution from indoor cooking fires

History

In 1993, Pastor Milton Sarara of Eldoret, Kenya established Agape Project International as a non-profit corporation. Its purpose is the Christ-centered holistic development of the people of Kenya through the presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and their social, physical, mental, educational and economic development.

In 2000, Terri Kruger, wife of Darby Kruger, met Pastor Milton at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association World Evangelism Conference in Amsterdam. That chance meeting grew into a personal relationship between the two families through prayer, regular communication, and regular visits to each other's homeland.

In 2007, Darby Kruger, Pastor Mike Sandberg and Gary Scherer made their first joint trip to Kenya to determine the feasibility of purchasing a hospital and to conduct the first annual API Pastor's Conference in western Kenya with Pastor Milton Sarara and 10 other pastors. While the hospital was ultimately sold to another organization, the Kenyan pastors and the people they served captured our hearts and the desire to create an entity to serve the Kenyan people was realized.

In 2008, Agape Project International USA or API USA was created as a religious non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation to support our Mission to the Kenyan people.
