What did missionaries do in Kenya?
In the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Christian missionaries came to the Kenyan coast to convert Africans to Christianity. To fulfill this aim, they concentrated their efforts on teaching Africans Western education and translated portions of the Bible into African dialects.
When did the First missionary arrive in Kenya?
Modern Christianity in Kenya dates from 1844, when a CMS missionary settled near Mombasa, but little progress was made until the 1870s. A settlement for freed slaves established at Freretown, near Mombasa, prospered, and the first Kenyans were ordained in 1885.
