Steve & Trina Pennington
Country/Region: Africa
Mount Hope Supported Since: 1992
Steve and Trina have served in East Africa for approximately 24 years. They began their service in Kenya among an unreached people group focused in evanglism and discipleship. In 1997, they shifted from Kenya to Ethiopia where they served in various capacities for 10 years, including: Moderator, teaching, preaching, Academic Dean and Acting Principal of Addis Ababa Bible College, Sunday School developer, Missionettes, among other things. In 2007 Steve was asked to serve at the East Africa School of Theology as Academic Dean and to assist with EAST’s government charter. During part of this time, Trina served as the Moderator of Team Kenya (AGWM). They served the new ministry, Live Dead, as the Team Leader Overseers of Live Dead East Africa. Live Dead is an initiative to plant churches among unreached people groups through teams (www.live-dead.org).
Currently, Steve serves as the Area Director for East Africa & the Indian Ocean Basin. Steve and Trina have the joy of serving seventeen countries in EAIOB. AGWM teams minister in fourteen of those countries, and there are thriving AG churches in at least eleven. Six of these countries still wait for powerful AG churches. Steve & Trina dream of a thriving AG national church in every country in EAIOB, and powerful local AG congregations within walking distance of every believer.
Steve and Trina are blessed with three children, a daughter-in-law, and a son-in-law, all of whom they deeply cherish: Josiah and Elizabeth Pennington, Priscilla and Reed Burr, and Micah.
