Bible Study Discipleship for Women

Each week during market days, Pokot women and young girls walk miles and miles to the market to sell milk and other things, and in turn buy food for their husbands and children. They are subject to a harsh cultural norm that has taken root in much of Kenya. Their unselfish love for their children, and their leniency toward their husbands, drives them to sacrifice a great deal in order to adapt well in their community. The women cherish their own effort and give love without expecting anything from their husbands — to them, love is not reciprocal, and so they love without selfish ambition.

WMK believes that Pokot women can act as good disciples and can help spread the word of God. WMK seeks to give Pokot women the first opportunity, by offering free DTS scholarships to selected and pre-interviewed Pokot women, who will undergo the three-month DTS. We plan to put up a special class for the women, separate from the men, to avoid a cultural clash. WMK will thereafter involve the women graduates in door-to-door evangelism and village Bible storytelling.
