This small chapel was built in 2014 very near another Hope Center that was started by Marilyn Newman. The Hope Center School of Il-Kerin was turned over to the local community as self-sufficient. Seeing the need for more churches in the area, Marilyn Newman helped Pastor Samuel Karema construct this building and provided a much-needed motorbike for him to minister to people throughout this extremely rural area.

Pastor Karema currently oversees this church of about 35 adults. 70 children from the local area attend services on the weekend, with 50 of them coming for Children’s Bible Club on Saturdays.

As there are other schools in the vicinity the greatest need here is for a small medical clinic which could lead to a fully functioning hospital in the upcoming years.

Plans are in the works for this first medical clinic in this area to be built.  Lord willing, construction of this facility will be complete by the end of 2021.
