Brief History
PACE was founded in 1989 with the purpose of providing spiritual and economic development to the marginalized rural and urban communities among people of African descent in Africa, the USA, the Caribbean, Brazil, Australia.
When Wachira Ngamau was a graduate student in America, he realized that Christians of African heritage was in a unique position as missioners to the world. Because people of African heritage have shared histories of slavery, oppression and the struggle for self – identity and self – actualization, Wachira embraced the idea of Pan African Christian Exchange. He organized a mission trip back to Kenya with mostly African American Christians in 1989. This trip provided an opportunity for cross–cultural bridge–building ministry with Black and White Americans and Africans. For over 25 years, Africans, African Americans and non–Africans have served Africans through PACE Ministries.
