MBI Started in Nairobi, Kenya in 1986
It was started as Manna Bible Institute, an interdenominational Bible College based in Nairobi Kenya since 1986. They are registered with the Ministry of Education in Kenya, and now in Florida as Manna International Bible Institute to offer degree programs in religious related programs.The MBI team spent time in Mukono, a suburb of Kampala, which is the capital of Uganda with the second-year class of the Manna Bible Institute Uganda (MBIU). Excellent instructors from Manna Bible Institute Kenya taught the biblical courses each morning via the Zoom platform. In the afternoon, Rosewood instructors shared with the students on topics related to end time theology with an instructor from the US on Zoom, and then transformation maturing ministry and the rising apostolic church establishing kingdom ministry live for the remaining courses each day.
MBI joined with Rosewood Apostolic Center from Florida in 2018 to develop a training program for pastors Uganda. The training was in Biblical, Theological, Transformation, and Kingdom ministry.
The MBI/Rosewood team opened up a satellite school in Komamboga near the capital Nairobi, Uganda. They called the school Kairos Apostolic International (KAI). They taught classes for very enthusiastic first-year students of the Manna Bible Institute Uganda (MBIU) at the Komamboga site. It was their first exposure to the God-given mandate to bring the transformation maturing message and the apostolic kingdom mission to Africa. They were very receptive to the training, and despite some Internet outages and other challenges, we praise God for a very successful opening.
The course work included the beginning of trauma training, and the team shared many examples from the history and culture of Uganda that revealed the great need for healing from extreme trauma. They expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to be healed personally and to learn how to bring healing of trauma to others as they activate Kairos Apostolic International (KAI).
I also had the privilege of visiting the home of a member of the extended family of the KAI team at the close of this week. I have felt so welcome and cared for by all those that I have encountered on this journey, and now as I enter my last month here, I know that I will miss them all.MBI had the privilege of visiting the home of a member of the extended family of the KAI team.

Besides the full daily program of studies and practice, the team is now preparing to officially establish Kairos Apostolic International (KAI) and assume their responsibilities in the operation of the center. As part of this process, we made plans to renovate a specific building on the Elim property to be used as the official home of KAI. All of this required extra planning meetings that occurred after the evening meal. I am blessed to be sharing and working with this dedicated team of ministers!
There was a training meeting for regional leaders in the strategy for establishing the house church ministry that was part of the apostolic model for the early Christian community. It was this model that Jesus taught His disciples and was responsible for the transformation of most of the known world during the first three centuries after His death and resurrection. As a result of this gathering, a fellowship of these leaders was formed and a commitment to begin the process of creating house churches and moving their congregations from the traditional pastoral church model to the 5-fold ministry apostolic model.
