Moses Sinet Pulei has been a friend and partner in mission with the Strang family since 1988.

The relationship began when Moses joined a two-year discipleship Bible study led by Fred Foy Strang. Before long, Moses had become much more than a participant in the group — he became part of the family. He and the Strangs’ young son Jesse (Tadjeu) became inseparable friends, and Moses lived with the Strangs during their years in Africa.

That bond continued across continents. When Moses later came to the United States to study, he once again made his home with the Strangs.
What began through a small Bible study nearly four decades ago grew into a friendship, a family bond, and a partnership in ministry that continues today.

Bright colors, intricate patterns, and generations of skill.

Cecily “Naserian” developed a deep appreciation for Maasai beadwork while spending time with women from villages throughout the area. She learned the craft alongside them while also helping connect individual artists and cooperatives with shops and outlets where their work could be sold.

Celebrating the art also means celebrating the women who create it.

One of the most meaningful parts of the Strangs’ early work was simply spending time together.

Those relationships helped shape an approach MSPF continues to value today: coming alongside communities, listening and learning, and encouraging the gifts and traditions already present.

Faith can be expressed through the beauty and creativity of every culture.

Fred “Tauta” Foy pioneered the use of traditional Maasai beadwork in clergy vestments and church decorations, choosing to celebrate indigenous artistry rather than simply importing outside traditions.

MSPF continues to encourage the unique ways art, music, and culture can become expressions of faith.

Behind every strand of beads is an artist.

In the early years of the Strangs’ work among the Maasai, Cecily “Naserian” spent countless hours with Maasai women learning their craft, building friendships, and helping women understand the true cost and value of their work so they could set fair prices.

Beautiful art, made by incredibly talented women.

Take a look at the beauty, tradition, and meaning behind Maasai beadwork.

For generations, Maasai women have transformed colorful beads into intricate works of art. Each piece reflecting incredible skill, creativity, and cultural tradition.

Over the next week, we’ll share more about the artists, the Strangs’ connection to this beautiful craft, and the ways MSPF has worked to encourage and celebrate indigenous Maasai art and expression.

Our desire has never been to bring “our version” of church growth to the Maasai people.

Instead, the Strangs have sought to offer Biblically grounded teaching and resources that local Christian leaders can interpret and apply within their own unique and beautiful cultural contexts.

This has included continuing education for regional clergy and lay leaders of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa, using resources such as the Walk Thru the Bible program.

We believe strong ministry grows through local leaders who know their people, understand their communities, and faithfully apply God’s Word where He has placed them.

That conviction has guided MSPF for decades and continues to shape our work today.

Investing in Christian leadership also means looking toward the next generation.
Over the years, the Strangs have had the privilege of walking alongside the Maasai

Christian Youth Fellowship, supporting young people as they grow in their faith, develop as leaders, and share the Gospel with others.

Through training, encouragement, and support for evangelistic outreach, including MCYF’s Christmastime ministry, these young men and women are being equipped to serve within their own communities.

We are grateful to see a new generation continuing the work and encouraging others in their walk with Christ.

Training did not always happen in a classroom.

Through Theological Education by Extension, Tauta o Naserian, Fred Foy and Cecily, traveled to outlying areas to provide on-site Biblical teaching and resources.

Materials were left with regional study groups so learning, discussion, and discipleship could continue long after each teaching visit ended.
That investment has carried forward through generations of local leaders who were equipped to serve their churches and communities.

It is a reminder that lasting ministry is not about creating dependence. It is about equipping people to carry the work forward.

From their earliest days among the Maasai people, the Strangs believed one of the most important contributions they could make was to disciple, train, and equip local Christian leaders.

They often said, “We are working ourselves out of a job!”

In the 1980s, the Enkomono loo Evangelists, or Fellowship of the Evangelists, brought men and women together from across a wide region for several days of worship, fellowship, study, and encouragement. Sometimes fifty gathered, sometimes one hundred, traveling great distances to learn together and encourage one another in the work God had called them to do.

The goal was never simply to lead, but to equip others to lead.
