The Bajun people for many years have been known as a group ignorant to secular education, with the claim that, secular education was introduced by missionaries and suspect that it was a trap to convert them to Christianity, and therefore held on to  Islamic education which made this community to be underprivileged, since the Kenyan government considers the secular education to be very important and the one that qualifies one to be employed in the government, amongst other organizations, this left the Bajun community to depend mainly on fishing, .attracting tourists, and selling their land for their survival.

This people group is also well known to have succeeded in resisting the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and according to the statistics they are 1.00% Christian, with no known church for Bajuns. Since they are closely knit as families and are predominantly Muslims. The spirituality of the group is on three levels. There are those who have a fundamental attitude, some believe that all religions lead to God. The third group is searching for the truth. They are constantly bombarded with conflicting views between Islam and Christianity, but the close family ties and the deep roots of Islam prevent them from looking to the gospel as a solution. They have done everything they can to totally close themselves as it was in the city of Jericho at the times of Joshua (Joshua 6:1)

In the year 2005 the Lord opened doors for the gospel to be preached to the Bajun people group by allowing some life changes that the Bajuns have never experienced before.

1. The hotel industry declined in Kenya creating a high desire of secular education to obtain other jobs.
2. Decline in Bajun fishing methods, replaced by modern fishing and marketing, motivating for secular education for other occupation.
3. Decline in Islamic religion due to many crusades preached around and many reasonable Christian charities, making the Muslim community to compare with the Muslim charities and made them not to appreciate the Islam religion on that basis.
4. The gross misbehavior and immorality of the Bajun children due to drug abuse resulting in

                                    -a threat to the community

-desire to have another effective teaching apart from the Islamic for moral behavior.

5. High demand of land due to population growth made them to look for land somewhere else, hence breaking the close knit as one family.

When this door was, opened, the lord showed this door clearly to the Pastor whom he also revealed to him that the only effective strategy to reach the Bajun people group is through children ministry. This is because the Bajun Community and all the other people groups who follow the Islamic religion along the Coastal region of Kenya, teach their children to resist to the gospel since in child stage and if one witnesses an adult Bajun is just considered to be provoking him or her and just for the purpose of offending him/her. It was realized that it is good to begin with children because that is where they begin and if you approach an adult Bajun you are already too late. By considering this fact and the working of God at their midst, there were three children projects proposed as follows:

1. Taking the children to a mission school and sponsor their education. This is for the purpose of having a conducive place for sharing the gospel and a full church programme covered by the school.
2. Initiating Christian Children programme such as VBS. This is for the purpose of teaching the children God’s ways.
3. Offering the children with basic human needs such as food, clothes and medicine.

The lord then privileged the pastor to share this vision to many other committed and sensitive pastors and church members (both local and international).

In 2003, Masha was invited in the United states of America by the Waldron’s family through Miss Polly Waldron a member of Jersey Baptist church who had met Masha on a VBS mission trip at Mijomboni Baptist church where Masha was pastoring and touched to sponsor his Theological education.

While there he met his divinely joined brother Michael and his wife Donna who invited him to their church First Baptist church of Heath Ohio and introduced him to their pastor and the children ministry.

In September, the same year Michael visited the Masha’s family in Kenya and officially launched the CBEM-AFRICA.

In June 2007, Pastor Masha was invited with his wife by First Baptist Church of Heath, Ohio and the George’s family, to the Global Impact Celebration, where he was privileged to share his vision to the church.

First Baptist church caught the vision and in February the following year, that is 2008, a team of six including the Pastor joined Chafisi Baptist church children mission.

 In May 13^th the same year, First Baptist Church through the committed members resolved to begin with the first proposal (taking the orphan children to a mission school) and they were able to sponsor 42 children, 20 among them being Bajuns and the other 22 from other communities so as to cover them which was faced by many challenges.
