RAHMI aims at planting contextual cell churchs in African countries and regions beyond through home cell group fellowships much as it was in the early church (Acts 2: 46-47 KJV). The contextual cell church operates on the 5x5 cell church model whose basic principle operates on small groups (cell groups). It is the most effective church planting of the twenty-first century. The biggest churches in the world are cell churches - an example of which is the Yoido Full Gospel Church with over 700,000 members - in Seoul, South Korea. The cell church exists as a means of empowering people of all classes by training them spiritually and physically through home cell groups. The contextual cell church emphasizes local and global missions through cell group evangelism, cross-cultural summer missions, open air preaching and mass crusades. RAHMI operates cell group fellowships in homes as avenues of building families, marriages, and unity in the body of Christ as well as national unity. Cell churches contribute in the teaching of contextual theology as Dr. Kiura and his wife Reverand Bancy Kiura are personally mentoring the lay leaders of the small groups. Spiritual and numerical church growth through home cell groups has been shown to be significant.  

RAHMI started the first ministry church in a rented hall in Nairobi in February of 2006.  Since that time, the church has grown from 25 initial members to over 200 regular attenders.  There are also 13 healthy, active cell groups meeting in many of the neighborhoods.  The church has reached the capacity of the rented hall and is looking for a location near the center of Nairobi in which to buy some land and build a larger facility as God provides the resources.  The church's leadership team is constantly planning new ways to reach the lost and unchurched.

The church is currently focusing it's efforts on "spot" evangelism - a unique concept in our curlture.  This consists of usually 2 day crusades organized by the church members.  They go to a "spot" in a neigborhood, and call people to them through music played on public address systems.  Once the crowd has gathered, Dr. Kiura begins to share the gospel.  The Kenyan people are hungry to learn about Jesus and receive the hope that can only be found in Him.  Before the end of the crusade, many are accepting Christ.  Up until now most of the efforts have been in the large slum areas in and around the center of Nairobi.  During June and July of 2007, the church will also focus it's efforts in some of the middle class neighborhoods.  This is being done in an effort to strengthen the financial base of the church so that even more people can be reached.

In addition to the above work, the ministry is organizing short and long term missions visits by some of the ministry partners that will focus specifically on sharing Christ by visiting the homeless centers; prisons; handicapped centers and nursing homes and working with children in the many orphanages that are spread throughout Nairobi.  They are also trying to disciple the new Christians by forming new cell groups.  Dr. Kiura is working with the leadership of the church to organize monthly fellowships for the purpose of building spiritual relationships with other believers.  This will include the sharing of personal testamonies, pastoral messages, and encouraging Christians to use their unique gifts and talents for service.  The ministry is also organizing some theological training seminars for both the lay pastors that are growing out of the ministry's evangelistic efforts and also for existing pastors who want to grow theologically.
