EPOCH Missions Gala

Last night we had a group of about 40 people come out and support our Executive Director Kim Pace at the Epoch Missions Gala.  We were so thankful that so many people made an effort to make it to the event.  The night was a huge success.  There were 18 finalists who were doing awesome Kingdom work both overseas and here at home.  It was such an encouragement to hear what the Lord is doing.

One of the fun things that Kim decided to do was wear Indian clothes to the event.  Since much of our work and our new climbing gym are centered in the Indian community in Nairobi, it seemed like a fitting way to draw attention to what the Lord is doing within that community.

Kim was one of 3 finalists in the People's Choice award.  There were 7 categories and only the nominees for the People's Choice award were able to share with the audience about their work so we were so thankful that Kim was able to do that.  In the end, she was awarded 2nd place in the category and received a grant for just under $2,500.  Kim is humbled by the honor and so thankful that so many people made it to the event!
