Maasai Outreach Mission

  • Evangelism and church planting
  • Education and leadership development

In the vast grasslands of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, the semi-nomad Maasai people graze large herds of cattle, sheep, and goats. While the tribe has maintained its rich culture for centuries, they lack clean water, sustainable food sources, adequate healthcare  and education, and, most importantly, access to the good news of Jesus Christ presented in Word and deed.   

Bishop Pastor Simon Muntolol founded Maasai Outreach Mission (MOM) in 1984 with a holistic approach to mission. Pastor Simon contextualizes the gospel in a way the Maasai can understand and receive while still embracing their culture. In response, the number of MOM churches have increased sevenfold. Since 2007, the Reformed Church in America and MOM have cultivated sustainable community development principles and led a church planting movement through digging wells, supporting education, training teachers, developing church leadership, and providing healthcare for underserved, remote Maasai communities.

Support current needs for this missionary/partner

Give to Maasai Motorbike - Kenya
MOM membership has increased considerably over the years from 39 churches with 4,000 members to over 130 churches with more than 15,000 members. The congregations struggle and sacrifice to support their pastors and evangelists. A team of approximately 15 pastors along with Bishop Simon Muntolol provide pastoral care to these congregations. They travel extremely long distances up to 60 miles miles by foot. Motorbikes will enable them to provide better oversight of their congregations. The congregations will cover the fuel, maintenance, riding equipment, licensing and registration of these vehicles.
