Joe + Kim Cluff

  • Country: Kenya
  • Ministry: church planting, leadership training

Their work

Joe and Kim minister as partners of Community Christian Church (CCC) in Kenya.  CCC is the result of church planting, nourishing, and encouraging efforts begun by CMF in 1978 among unreached peoples in the Maasai and Turkana regions of Kenya.  Since those first days, the evangelism efforts have resulted in 150 churches with more than 11,000 members.  Their numbers include congregations beyond those original two regions, encompassing other tribal areas.  Most of the numbers represent Kenyans living in disadvantaged areas from the slums of Nairobi to the arid savannah of Samburu.

Joe and Kim partner with CCC in the areas of leadership development, expansion of the church, and
community development.  During the past three years, they have been involved in continued mentoring of church leaders, equipping leaders through education and technology advancements, encouraging missional efforts of Kenyans reaching Kenyans, helping with drought relief, and teaching Community Health Evangelism (CHE) skills.  

A closer look

In July 2011, Joe and Kim began a 9-month furlough seeking to renew, retool, and refresh before returning to Kenya for another 3-year term.  At this time, they are seeking new partners in ministry through prayer and financial support.  

They have two children, Sophia (2010) and Theo (2012).
