After the post election violence that rocked Kenya in January 2008,
Mary Mungai joined other “Chapelites” in visiting the Mai Mahiu
settlement village where we were seeking to help resettle IDP's.
When Mary visited she was completely moved by their plight, and
she started pursing different ways to help them. This included
helping them start up farming activities on the property they were
on, and also helping educate one of the children with severe
physical and mental disability in the camp. A year ago, Mary also
donated an acre of land close to the village, to give additional
space for these IDP's to farm and grow both self-sustaining and
income-earning crops. She also wanted the land to be used to
begin a church. Her generous and kind spirit, and her passion to
resettle these who have had a hard time picking up from their
difficult circumstances, is a great example of Christian compassion.
For this we award her an Oscar.

Mbichi Mboroki is a lawyer and an advocate of the High Court
of Kenya. In 2010 he joined Plug-In, and it completely
transformed him, giving him a new perspective about
practical Christianity, especially after his evangelism and
Mercy Mission experience. For his 6 month ministry internship,
he was assigned to lead a group in ministering to the prisoners
at the Short-term prison near Chapel (at Jamuhuri Park). His
internship service has been exemplary, and the impact on the
prisoners amazing, for which we give him an Oscar. Many of
the released former prisoners now look on Nairobi Chapel as
their church because of the work Mbichi and his team is doing
there. This year we have therefore assigned 2 church planting
Pastoral Trainees to begin a Sunday service there, and to help
reintegrate the former prisoners back into society. Mbichi and
his wife Lois also lead a dynamic E-group that meets every
Sunday in their home..
