Their stated mission is to see "Christ-centered churches established among all African peoples." AIM established the Kapsowar Hospital in 1933.

Vice President Of Kenya
The deputy president of the Republic of Kenya ( Swahili: ''Naibu Rais wa Jamhuri ya Kenya'') is the principal assistant of the President of the Republic of Kenya. History Prior to the 2010 Constitution of Kenya, the deputy president was known as the Vice-President, and the President had the power to appoint and dismiss the Vice-President at will.

In addition to this change in appointing responsibility, unlike in the previous Constitution where the Vice President usually held a secondary role of being a Cabinet Minister, the new Constitution mandates that the Deputy President is not permitted to hold any other state or public office and shall only perform th ...
