Kenya Anglican Men’s Association (K.A.M.A), is a men’s fellowship in the Anglican Church of Kenya whose aim is to equip men to transform the family, church and society through the gospel of Christ. The first men’s fellowship in the Anglican Church in Kenya was commonly known as the Father’s Association in the late 1990’s. In the early 2000’s, the Province harmonized the various Diocesan Fathers’ constitutions, and established the current Kenya Anglican Men’s Association (KAMA). The committee came up the KAMA motto which is derived from Joshua 24:15b, “…as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Kama Theme 2022
The KAMA Theme for 2022 comes from John 10:10b which says, “Wholesome life for men and their families.” Jesus was affirming that he is the true shepherd who is unlike other shepherd who had come before him. Jesus says these were hirelings and thieves. The purpose for Jesus to come is that we may have life and have it in fullness. This is contrary to the thief whose key purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy. As the KAMA mission states, “To equip Anglican men to transform the family, Church and society through the Gospel of Christ,” this year, we endeavor to help men experience fullness of life in their families, church and society.
