Originally meeting under the mango tree, Nazareth KCC in Marafa, Kenya hosted a Kingdom Business seminar. Invited by assistant pastor and dolly maker, Sami arranged for this training for these very humble people.
Following that training, the church erected timbers to mark their frame. Adding iron sheets to the roof would take some serious saving.
Their sacrificial giving in such a humble place inspired
Surprised by Hope to share in the joys of community and select this in Marafa
as the recipient of the 100 Christmas Dolly gift for 2020.

Who Qualifies
- Several criteria qualify a church
to receive the 100 Christmas Dollies gift.
- Attending a Kingdom Business
conference.
- Applying Christ-centered business
lessons toward positive change in the church. We acknowledge that there
are many ways to apply our lessons and that not all of them are tangible.
However, our goal is to leave a tangible, long-lasting legacy and so we
aim at selecting churches making physical improvements.
- Evidencing self-motivation toward
tangible church goals without expecting this gift.
- Experiencing life in community
where our gift is but a small portion among the giving of many members.
- Choose the one (or several) dollies calling your name.
- Make a tax deductible donation of
$25 per dolly using PayPal, or send a check in the mail to
the U.S. address at the bottom of the home page. Don’t forget to include
your dolly number(s) in the comment field.
- On Christmas day we will provide a
hot meal to the church and a simple Nativity message to the children with
a gift of all the sponsored dollies.
- Watch for a picture of your dolly
with his or her new Kenyan mommy or daddy on social media or via email.
- Then we’ll use your dolly donation
to invest in the construction for Mountain of Glory Church in Ganda. Watch
for future progress updates.
- Pray regularly for the child who
received your dolly and for the church.
