Pokot
The Pokots are pastoral nomads who move with their livestock throughout Baringo County in Northwestern Kenya. They practice animism, with many religious rituals and traditions. Despite numerous mission efforts, the Pokots are still considered unreached with the Gospel. Challenges such as harsh living conditions, lack of running water and electricity, violent cattle raiding, and malnutrition due to food scarcity and frequent droughts contribute to their neglect and inaccessibility. Additionally, they are entirely neglected in areas such as healthcare, food security, education, water, and road infrastructure.

Key Leader
George Nyaundi
Our Eastern Africa Regional Leader, is married to Grace Boke Nyaundi and they have four boys and three girls. With a career spanning over two and a half decades, he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his work in pioneering business, leadership development, disciple making and church planting. George’s transformative journey began when a missionary family introduced him to Jesus in his Kenyan village, leading to a deepening passion for faith. He connected with All Nations in 2014 and since then has worked among the Pokots to plant churches and businesses. He started his own barbershop near the Pokots.
Since 2016, All Nations’ Kenyan fieldworker has focused on church and business planting among the unreached Pokots. Through a community member, a former bandit, they have established nine churches with about 300 believers. This individual began sharing the Gospel with young men in the community who were often involved in trouble, such as cattle theft and tribal conflicts. Currently, 80 young men, known as the Reform Warriors, have come to faith. They have transitioned to beekeeping and honey sales, which has resulted in less fighting.
This project aims to train people, make disciples, and plant churches. The goal is to see a transformed community in the next five years through business initiatives, enabling them to multiply discipleship patterns and church planting movements within their communities and beyond.
