Outreach is about extending the love and message of Jesus to those outside our church community. It's an expression of the Great Commission, where Jesus instructed His followers to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20).

Pastor Henry Jahonga — Pastor Henry’s story is a God inspired tale about a young man who decided to serve God by growing a school and church in Kenya, Africa. In 2008, when this school and church were still a dream, Pastor Henry spent time at a Bible school in Germany. The friends he made heard him speak of this desire and over the next 6 years prayed with him to pursue this dream. These German friends were among the first to support him financially to start his school.

Mutanda’s Anointed Community Academy began modestly and has since grown to serving over 300 students in grades K-8, as of 2025. Pastor Henry is currently planning to add high school classrooms in the fall of 2025.

Olivet added our support to this work in 2021, and both Henry and his wife Jane, want to thank you for this support over the years. Olivet has helped provide the school with finances that secure quality educational materials, daily nutritious meals, monies to build new classrooms(pictured), lap top computers, materials for building the church, and added all-important prayers and well wishes. Henry and Jane would be happy to host any members of Olivet if a trip to Kenya is in any plans, where you could see the work first-hand. You have helped improve so many lives and make dreams become a reality in Kenya!

Olivet also gives away 10% of its undesignated offerings to a variety of other ministries locally, nationwide, and across the globe.
