Solace Education Center & Gospel Ministry
Kilifi, Coastal Kenya · Rev. George Yohana & Priscillah Masha
Prepared for Door Creek Church Leadership and Missions Committee · September 2026
Partnership Overview
Door Creek is invited to partner with and adopt Solace Education Center & Gospel Ministry as a missionary work, led by Rev. George Yohana and Priscillah Masha. The ministry serves roughly 350 children, with 28 teachers and 5 support staff, in Kilifi on Kenya’s coast. The congregation worships on Sundays in the school dining hall and longs for a permanent church home.
Mission in brief: proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, educate children, strengthen families, equip leaders, and serve the vulnerable through sustainable Gospel-centered ministry—across evangelism/discipleship, Christian education, church planting, pastoral training, and compassionate outreach.
