We are African-American missionaries that have been apprehended in Christ to serve Him in Kenya.
Michael and Kay Johnson have been involved with overseas missionary work since 1984. Their work has included a brief trip to Zaire (Congo), where they worked in Tandala Hospital for a period of 7 weeks and again to Kenya in 1987 for a period of 7 weeks. They began full time work overseas in 1989 when they were accepted with World Gospel Mission of Marion, Indiana to work at Tenwek Hospital in Kenya East Africa.
Michael was born and raised in Chicago Illinois. Kay was born and raised in the Ann Arbor community of Michigan. They both knew Christ as Savior when they met and married while Michael attended the U of M medical school and Kay attended Eastern Michigan University.
The Lord called them to Kenya after a few years in private practice in Philadelphia.
The Johnsons now make their home in Kenya to helping provide health care to the over 30,000 street children of Nairobi and to help in the training of Kenyan physicians. They are also involved with several development projects, providing schools, water sources, farming and medical assistance to underdeveloped communities. Through these ministries, many orphaned children are now being placed in Christian families by adoption and foster care.
The Johnsons have four children, Elijah a surgical resident at University of Nevada Hospital in Las Vegas Nevada. Christina is a junior at University of Phoenix studying business. Emmanuel is junior at Temple University studying English and Political Science and Keturah a freshman at United States International University in Kenya. Their home church is Tasker Street Missionary Baptist Church in South Philadelphia
