Marti Ward Communities for Christ (MWCC) is a non-profit organization that spreads the love of Jesus to rural communities in Kenya and it’s surrounding areas.

MWCC was born in 1992- when Marti Ward made her first trip to Kenya at the age of 75. Marti passed in 1999, but the ministry carries on through her daughter and son-in-law, Michelle & Jim Thompson, who direct MWCC in the United States. It is also carried out through through the diligent work of Protus Onchana, who is the MWCC Director in Kenya, as well as the board members who strive to keep the mission growing strong.
