Mission Trip to I Can Fly Academy 

Machakos, Kenya

February 23rd thru March 6th, 2027

Open to members of New Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and their guests

Please join NMC in our mission trip to support the I Can Fly Academy.

The I Can Fly Academy is a mission-minded organization dedicated to serving vulnerable children and youth living within impoverished villages throughout Kenya. Since its youth initiative began in 2008, they have provided quality education, rescue programs, shelter, meals, and enrichment activities to scores of children affected by extreme poverty, female genital mutilation, early marriage, tribal war, abandonment, and children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.

They have a proven track record of breaking gender disparities and educational barriers for children from disadvantaged communities.  Reducing oppression and cultural abuses is their core objective. They make it possible for children and youth who would normally be excluded from educational opportunities to have a formal education in Kenya.

The New Mt. Calvary Mission trip will work with the I Can Fly Academy to support their mission and advance their community. Specific missionary activities will be coordinated by Pastor Givens and Pastor Dawson, based on the needs of the school and community.
