Our compassion for Kenya
We desire to make disciples by proclaiming the true Gospel, while meeting spiritual and physical needs in Kenya.
We are AFM Ministry Inc, a Christian public charity operating our mission as ‘Mercy Ministries-AFM Africa’ in Kenya. Jeff & Stephanie Bys direct our missionary work locally in Kenya, where God has called us to serve.
In Kenya, with the partnership of many donors like you, we have formed a church, children’s home for at-risk and orphaned children, and a free primary and secondary school.
We also serve the widows and needy in our local community with food and material needs, sharing the love of Christ to all whom we are given opportunity.

Jeff Bys pastors and leads Mercy Baptist Church that is operated on our Mercy Ministries campus. The Church meets in our multipurpose pavilion that sits between our primary school classrooms near the front entrance of our campus. We have a weekly prayer meeting and service each Sunday.
Jeff & Stephanie Bys direct and lead Mercy Children’s Home which houses over 100 children. The Bys family lives in the home raising the children as one big family. This was our first building, built in 2017, and by God’s grace we have been able to add many buildings to support the growing ministry work here.
We began Mercy Christian Academy in 2019 and MCA is 100% free for all students. We have expanded and now have a high school on an adjoining campus. Our schools are also open to the local village children who are not able to attend school due to their impoverished situations.
As part of God’s calling to care for those around us we started meeting pressing needs. Before we even realized it, it had turned into its own ministry which we now call Village Outreach. We work towards meeting various medical, food, education, and housing needs in our village and those villages around us.
Come be a part of what God is doing, bringing life and hope in Kenya!
