As of January 1, 2012, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) reported 10,922 members in one stake, two districts, 39 congregations (seven wards[1] and 32 branches[1]), and one mission, in Kenya.[2][3] On April 2, 2017 church president Thomas S. Monson announced that a temple would be built in Nairobi.[4] HistoryThe first Kenyans baptized into the LDS Church in Kenya were the family of Elizaphan and Ebisiba Osaka, who were baptized in 1979. The first LDS missionaries began serving in Kenya in 1980. There was only one LDS missionary couple from then until 1989, when the missionary couple was withdrawn. Joseph W. Sitati, who had joined the LDS Church along with his family in 1985, was designated the lead elder of the church in Kenya at that point. In February 1991, he met with Daniel arap Moi, president of Kenya. Later that month the attorney general of Kenya gave Sitati and a few other church leaders a form signifying the church was officially recognized. In July 1991, the Kenya Nairobi Mission was organized, with Larry King Brown as president. The first LDS meeting house was completed in Nairobi in 1994. In 2001 a stake was organized, with Sitati called as president. Sitati later became the first general authority from Kenya.[5] Membership history
