Dear Freshers,

Welcome to the university and welcome to Western Outreach Ministry! 🎉

As you start this exciting new chapter, we want you to know that you’re not alone. Starting university can feel overwhelming with new classes, new faces, and a new environment. However, it’s also a great chance to grow in your faith, deepen your walk with Jesus, and find a genuine Christian community.

At the University, Western Outreach Ministry (WESO) is eager to meet you. Whether you’ve been a Christian your whole life, just started exploring faith, or still have many questions, you are welcome here.

✨What is Western Outreach Ministry?

Western Outreach Ministry (WESO) is a Para-church ministry that was founded in 1986, first as Western Student Outreach Ministry. It was composed of born-again university students from the then four public universities who had a desire to see people in western Kenya turn to Christ. Our goal is straightforward: to know Jesus and make Him known.

📅 What to Expect During Fresher’s Week

This first week is a great opportunity to connect—not only with campus life but also with a Christian community that will support you through every challenge and joy of university. Here’s what’s planned: 

  • Welcome events—games nights, coffee meetups, walks, and more. These are relaxed spaces to meet other Christians.
  • Prayer and worship—start your uni journey grounded in prayer and praise.
  • Ministry search support—we’ll help you explore ministries to find one you can call home.
  • Free food and real conversations—because who doesn’t love a free meal and a good chat?

🙌Why WESO Matters

University is a time when your faith can be tested, but it can also be a time when it thrives. Being part of WESO offers you: 

  • A family of believers who will support and pray for you
  • Opportunities to serve, lead, and grow your gifts
  • A mission bigger than yourself—to share the love and hope of Jesus on campus
