Since its founding by Elaine Barnett, a now retired Africa Inland Mission (AIM) missionary, Little Lambs has operated under AIM’s oversight with their administrative support.
AIM is focused on career missionaries and church planting. Little Lambs really doesn’t align with their focus and there are no longer any AIM missionaries involved in its’ operation. For that reason, we were asked by AIM to find a new organizational “home”. Though initially unwelcome news, the transition has unfolded as a journey guided by God's hand.
Initially all the options we found were either vary tactical in nature or required significant changes in our operating model. We were discouraged and running out of time. Then God made his plan clear by introducing us to East Africa Partnership! The organizational transition took only a few weeks. We could not be more please to announce that Shepherd’s Little Lambs is now a project of East Africa Partnership (EAP).
While this marks a significant change, the day-to-day operations of Little Lambs remain almost entirely unaffected. This ensures that the vital support we provide can continue seamlessly, without interruption or distraction.
In this new partnership, we have identified ways to mutually benefit each other, given our shared focus on Christian character development and education. Exciting developments are on the horizon, and we anticipate sharing news soon that will be a game-changer for our little lambs.
Stay tuned for further updates!
