It will complete the community development in a village where &#8212; at the turn of the century \u2013 AIDS, malaria, unemployment and poor education prospects had left a feeling of hopelessness across the generations.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Christian Community Centre will be our \u2018Jewel in the Crown\u2019,\u201d<\/em> says Quicken\u2019s founder, Geoff Booker. <em>\u201cIt will be a visible and safe place.<\/em> <em>It will bring together all the aspects a community needs to develop &#8211; it will be the heart of the village.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Facilities and activities planned include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Community Church, seating up to 500, bringing Christian worship, witness and teaching into the centre of the village<\/li>\n<li>Seminars to educate and counsel victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse \u2013 and to teach the community about its wider impact<\/li>\n<li>Educational seminars and workshops for all<\/li>\n<li>Leisure activities, such as pool, for young people \u2013 in a drug and alcohol-free, safe environment<\/li>\n<li>Family-friendly Christian film screenings<\/li>\n<li>A venue for the blessing of marriages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickentrust.com\/dev\/?page_id=701\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to help create the Church &amp; Community Centre<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"images\/linebreak.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Need for a New Church<\/h2>\n<p>Kabubbu is not short of churches and Quicken established a new one at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickentrust.com\/dev\/?page_id=313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trust High School<\/a> in 2006. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickentrust.com\/dev\/?page_id=669\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kabubbu Church<\/a>). It was thriving \u2013 but it didn\u2019t work for everyone. In fact, it was restricting the growth of the church locally.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s partly because while the vibrant nature of the worship suits the 300+ teenagers who attend Kabubbu Church \u2013 it\u2019s less appealing for some older members of the community. And for some local Christians, whose experience of education was not good, having to meet in a school was intimidating.<\/p>\n<p>Rather like the church spires of English villages, the new Church building in Kabubbu will be unmissable. There will be a prominent cross on the front visible over the roofs of the single storey shops in front of it. And it will be lit up.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI insisted that there was a tall cross,\u201d<\/em> says Geoff Booker. <em>\u201cI want it illuminated at night facing the centre of the village to state clearly to the community \u2013 many of whom are of other faiths including animism and witchcraft as well as the Muslim faith \u2013 that Jesus reigns, is alive and loves them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickentrust.com\/dev\/?page_id=701\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to help create the Church &amp;
