Kenya: Tabitha Ministry

Tabitha Ministry is an outreach to Kenyan women who live in the area surrounding Tenwek Hospital. Since missionary Linda Spriegel started a Bible study in her home in 2005 for village women, the ministry has grown to more than 200 Bible studies that meet weekly in the villages.

Many of the women attending these studies are widows or live in extreme poverty, so they do not have their own Bibles. However, through Tabitha Ministry, the women are given the opportunity to earn a Bible by memorizing Scripture. To date, more than 10,000 women have earned their own Bibles through the ministry.

Tabitha Ministry partners with local churches to empower them to help the poor among them. Working together, cows and new homes are provided for the neediest. Tabitha also helps provide seed and fertilizer, minimal medical care, emergency food support, and small business start-up funds. Between this practical help and Bible studies that emphasize individual worth and responsibilities in Christ, thousands of women have been empowered to change their families and communities.
