KAJIADO NORTH STATION ESSENTIALS AND MISSION CONDUCT
The KAJIADO NORTH STATION (KNS) Seventh-day Adventist Church full-heartedly invites you to join us in our Mission outreach (07th - 21st December 2025) to preach, teach and do all that pertains to soul winning. It is our prayer and hope that you derive both pleasure and satisfaction from this holy duty.
NB: List to be populated in due time.
The following facets prescribes, proscribe and direct the conduct expected of each missionary to ensure adaptable coexistence and the wellbeing of everyone. This is of necessity, to also ensure acceptance by, and honor from, the local community to break prejudice that may otherwise hinder the Mission work.
Missionaries will participate in various daily duties and responsibilities to keep the accommodation facilities clean. Missionaries will be divided into groups and put into a rotation. These duties foster a sense of unity and responsibility. Skiving from duty is discouraged. The sleeping and waking up times are to be strictly adhered to. To every possible degree, the missionaries are required to spare enough time for sleep to avoid fatigue and sluggishness in day time activities. It is required of every missionary not to interfere with others during their sleep time.
The mission program is to be strictly adhered to. The wake-up time, sleep time, serving time and all other sessions are to be guarded jealously. Every missionary is to follow the program pattern. In case of abnormal conditions that may limit abidance, let it be reported to the management in time.
As much as possible, the missionaries are to remove from their association anything that divides them on tribal lines. For this reason, only national languages - English and Swahili, will be adapted as the languages to be used on site (With exceptions to translations made for locals in their dialect)
The dress code of missionaries is to break prejudices with local communities. It is to earn the respect of the community by meeting their expectations of the highest standards of morality, to the extent that they do not violate the Seventh-day Adventist Church principles of decency, modesty, simplicity, morality, economy and health. Ladies are to avoid shorts, pants, short dresses/skirts (let the dresses and skirts reach below the knees when seated.) Clothes are to cover up the body, duly but not tightly, fully but not to sweep the street. During exercise, ladies will put on track suits or sweat pants. Ladies shall have their hairs naturally made up. All who shave shall adopt uniform hair shaving. The hair must be simple, decent, neat and natural. Shaving different styles shall not be tolerated. Also to be avoided at all times are tight clothes, sleeveless clothes, exposed chests, exposed armpits, jewelry, exposed boxers, vests and other inner clothing, strong perfume, make-up, stilettos, wristbands, rugged jeans, and any other clothing that expresses vainness of thought or indecency of appearance. Men are to avoid shorts and t- shirts with funny writings during visitation. All t-shirts worn during visitations are to be either plain or church-themed.
Proper food will be supplied for meals. No caffeinated beverages be brought on site (e.g., coffee, certain types of tea, energy drinks, etc.). Under no circumstances will any illicit tobacco, alcoholic beverages and flesh foods be tolerated on site. Biscuits, ice creams, mandazis and every such thing (outside the prescribed meals) will not be condoned. Meals will only be taken at the stipulated times. Aimless Snacking is to be avoided.
The missionaries are to exercise self-control and temperance in their associations. Undue anger is to be avoided as much as possible. Brotherly love and kindness are to be exercised in all associations. Use of sharp and condemning words is to be avoided. Kind regard of fellow missionaries is the center of Christian coexistence. Leaders are to exercise tact and gentleness in giving instructions and reproofs. Man-lady conversations are to be engaged in only as they fit missionaries' and community acceptance. Undue attention is to be totally avoided to prevent misunderstanding, skiving and slothfulness in mission duty. All misunderstandings will be solved by the department of discipline.
During the prayer and fasting days, proper self-discipline is to be maintained. Snacks and buying of food to eat in the place of meals skipped is to be avoided. Buying and cooking of personal or special meals will only be done when communicated to the catering department in time.
The mission will have an official in charge of discipline to whom all unbearable misunderstandings will be channeled. All missionaries are encouraged to live in Christian forbearance and love. Prayer is to remain the first resort in the presence of conflicts.
The SDA church identifies the 28 Fundamental Beliefs as a succinct summary of our doctrines, as derived from the Bible. Consequently, doctrines contrary to this body of beliefs are not to be advocated publicly and in the course of soul winning. Violation of this principle will be promptly dealt with and result in immediate dismissal. Personal positions are to be laid aside when in opposition to the doctrines of the church body. Controversial subjects within the Seventh-day Adventist church are to be avoided or wisely approached to prevent open conflicts before the community.
The mission has committee officials in charge of various departments. All missionaries are required to obey instructions adapted in order to ensure the wellbeing of everyone in the mission site. The departments include Mission Coordinator, Treasurer, Catering, Literature Coordinator, Reporting Coordinator, Chaplaincy Ministries Coordinator, Children's Coordinator, Time Keepers, Gents' and Ladies' Representatives (also in charge of hygiene), Speakers Coordinator, In-Reach Coordinator, PA Custodian, Music Coordinator and Physical Exercise Coordinator, among others. In case you are not in agreement with any instruction given by any leader, approach him/her gently and express your reservations. In case you do not feel that your concern has been adequately resolved, approach the coordinator, or any other sitting leader. To avoid misrepresenting the mission, do not communicate minor camp challenges with external parties. In case of major non-personal issues, kindly communicate to the coordinator first before communicating to external parties.
Every missionary is expected to engage in door-to-door visitation. For reasons such as sickness, engagement in health camp, literature and children department, cooking (when the rotation group is in kitchen), or any other significant reason, one may be exempted from visitation but only after the permission from the camp coordinator.
Members are discouraged from eating food in the houses visited. This is to avoid aimless snacking and unprecedented stomach conditions. However, at all times, let wisdom, prayer and discretion be exercised. Missionaries are to take record of the names and conditions including the need for bible studies, prayer, counseling, medical care, clothing, food and finances. The church will aim to assist to the extent it is capable.
In the evening, missionaries will sit with the local people in the market place as the open-air sessions go on. At the end of every evening session, missionaries are advised to talk to the locals about the sessions and get feedback in the form of questions, compliments, complaints, concerns and requests. Significant feedback is to be communicated to the Visitations Coordinator. Missionaries are advised to master the names of locals interacted with, know their homes and commit them to prayer.
Missionaries shall always move in groups, particularly in the evenings. To avoid misunderstandings two missionaries of different genders are not to interact unreasonably in the dark under any circumstance.
Everyone is expected to maintain a high level of discipline in their personal life. Bathing is to be done daily; only clean clothes are to be worn. Missionaries are to engage in personal prayer, meditation and study of the bible at any free time. Idle conversations are to be avoided. Secular music (even as phone ringtones), watching movies, reading novels, and such other amusements that are contrary to righteous practice are to be avoided. Any conduct that is against the church doctrine shall not be thought of or engaged in.
These guidelines are meant to ensure peace, harmony, charity, sanctity, focus, efficiency, equality and obedience to God for all missionaries throughout the mission period. While we may not assure you of pristine comfort and luxury, we believe that you will be sufficiently comfortable to perform God's work with pleasure and peace of mind and heart. Above all, seek to have supreme love for God and selfless love for one another and such holy affection shall cover a multitude of sins.
NB: All missionaries are expected to stay for the entire two weeks of the mission, except in case of an emergency that necessitates them to leave.
I …………………………………………Purpose in my heart to abide by the code of conduct for the duration that I will be in mission. I understand that action will be taken in cases of persistent violation of this code. I understand further, that reason and religion expect of me to appreciate this code of conduct and support its being upheld by everyone. I purpose to use my senses, free will and influence to encourage obedience by all to it, including by myself.
