President William Ruto on Sunday March 3, 2024 joined members of the Salvation Army Church at Ulinzi Sports Complex, Nairobi in celebrating 100 years of spreading the Gospel in Kenya.
The Salvation Army in Kenya started through the efforts of three railway builders who came to Kenya in 1896 to work on the construction of the Kenya -Uganda railway.
As one of the earliest churches in East Africa, the Salvation Army has been a steadfast beacon of hope, bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of Kenya for a century.
Meanwhile, First Lady Rachel Ruto commended the Salvation Army for their commitment to go where they are needed most, even in difficult circumstances, which exemplifies the spirit of being soldiers of Christ.

At the same time, Mama Rachel Ruto noted the numerous areas of alignment between the Salvation Army and the Government’s Bottom Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
“These common interests present opportunities for collaboration that can further strengthen our collective efforts in areas such as women’s economic empowerment, national tree-growing campaigns, technical vocational training, and healthcare,” noted the First Lady.
