John and Kendra Enright worked as missionaries in Africa since 1973 unitl John passed away suddenly on December 26, 2017 in a tragic road accident.

     Kendra continues to live near the Kafakumba Training Center and is officially retired. John and Kendra were involved in the construction of a Leadership Training Center when war started in the Congo in 1998 and they had to leave.   

     Since 1999 John and Kendra worked with the United Methodist Church in Zambia. They helped build the Kafakumba Training Center as their base, and from there were able to continue many of the same programs they had in Congo, particularly the Kafakumba Pastors' School. John started many development projects, working in partnership with Zambians in the areas of woodworking, agriculture, and business. Kendra has two grown sons, Brian and Nathan. Both boys and their wives are currently living in Zambia. 

Robin runs Kafakumba Christian School (KCS)  and spends a lot of time as a full-time Mom with the family. Since his father's death, Nathan oversees the honey company, Treetop (formerly DBA Bee Sweet) and keeps busy helping run the Tilapia Hatchery and getting more beehives scattered around Zambia.  Nathan is John's youngest son and was raised here in Central Africa. 

Naomi is our Kafakumba Clinic Administrator and does an amazing job of keeping us all going the right direction!  Naomi received her Master's Degree in Community Health at Purdue University in Indiana.  But her greatest credentials are her compassion for people and passion for what she is doing.  She is also the eldest daughter of Pastor and Mrs Kilembo.

Pastor Kilembo is the Director of Kafakumba Training Center and is an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church. Therese leads "God's Kids," teaches sewing classes and is part of a local women's group. In addition, she is still raising 1 child at home while 2 of her children are attending universities in Zambia and 1 is at Purdue University. 

Novias is the Head of our Well Drilling/Repair Team.  He was trained by Alan R. a native from Indiana when the rig was first sent from a Rotary Club in Indiana, so he's virtually a Hoosier!  He leads our team well and is not afraid of hard work!  He and his team continue providing quality water for local communities, churches, schools and clinics.

Rabbeca is our hospitality coordinator and is often the first smile you see welcoming you to Kafakumba Training Center when you come to visit.  Rabbeca is newly married to Gabriel!

David and Amber Steury have 3 children, Colton, Cade and Cylas, and are an integral part of the Kafakumba Ministries.  Amber is busy with her 3 children but still finds time to help manage some of the guesthouses and consult on most of our construction and interior decoration.  David has his Masters in Electrical Engineering, but his job description involves much more than that - encompassing construction, repairs and maintenance and auto mechanics.  

Mark and Jamie moved out in June 2024 to join the ministry!  Jamie has a background in teaching and absolutely loves kids!  Mark is an RN and will be an integral part of the medical work at the clinic.  We look forward to seeing how God will use them in ministry at Kafakumba!

Nate and Elinda (Enright) Steury arrived at Kafakumba in mid-2013. They serve the Church here in Zambia in several ways. Since John's death, Nate does some accounting at Bee Sweet Honey, helping Nathan Enright in the management aspects of the business. 

     He is also here to provide support for the United Methodist pastors in Zambia and is himself a pastor of the English speaking congregation at Kafakumba Training Center. Elinda is a nurse and an online professor of nursing. 

     Nate and Elinda were both born and raised as MK's (Missionary Kids) in Africa. Elinda was born in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) to Ken and Lorraine Enright, and Nate in Kenya to Ernie and Sue Steury. 

     Their oldest son, David and his wife, Amber are also currently working at Kafakumba Training Center after moving here in December, 2015.
