The Urban Ministry Institute
Nairobi, Kenya
Pathway began a partnership with the Kenya TUMI (The Urban Ministry Institute) satellite in 2012. They had their first class graduate in 2018. TUMI overcomes four barriers that face urban church leaders facing efforts to receive theological education.
• Cost: Many will never be able to afford the cost of traditional seminary education.
• Education requirements: Many of God’s chosen leaders have little more than a high school education.
• Proximity: Most urban leaders have a full-time ministry, family, or a full-time job. Moving to attend Bible College is difficult.
• Cultural relevance: Most of what is taught in U.S. seminary does not equip an urban pastor.

Missions of Hope International
Pathway has been partnered with Wallace and Mary since 2007. Their vision is to see transformed lives through the hope of Christ in disadvantaged communities in Kenya and beyond. Their mission is to educate, empower, restore, and redeem through holistic transformation in Christ. They serve in a network of urban slums in the capital city Nairobi, Kenya. The slums cover less than three square miles and host over one million people. Most households are headed by single mothers. They are beginning to serve in several remote villages that are predominately Muslim or traditional African cult regions. Our partnership is in the Mathare Valley at Mabatini.
