James and Chao Wanje
Marriage and Family Outreach
Pastoral and Church Leadership Development
Humanitarian Outreach
James and Chao Wanje have worked as missionaries in their nation, Kenya, for more than 10 years. After attending college, getting married and having their two boys (Morris and Francis) in the USA, they answered the call to return to their nation, Kenya, to carry on the family legacy of mission work with their own people.
The Wanjes are now investing their passion on the Coastal region of Kenya. This is the area where James’ father, the late Reverend Morris Wanje, invested more than 50 years in evangelism and discipleship of the natives. Reverend Morris Wanje was the first Baptist convert in the East African region. Before he went to be with the Lord in February 2014, Reverend Morris Wanje had started more than 67 churches, many of which are in the Coastal region of Kenya.
The Wanjes are passionate about carrying the legacy of Reverend Morris Wanje in the transformation of communities through the local church. Through Sowing Seeds of Joy Kenya, they carry out their passion by focusing on five pillars: Marriage and Family Outreach; Pastoral and Church Leadership Development; Evangelism and Church Planting; Training and Discipleship; Humanitarian Outreach that include Water for Life and Seeds Creation.

Global Missions Partnership & Sending Accountability
I am a missionary serving in Malindi, Kenya, sent through Sowing Seeds of Joy, Inc. and supported by local churches in numerous states in the US.
​
Although I grew up as a missionary kid, I once believed my own calling would take me far from Kenya. However, in June 2025, God redirected my heart while leading a church team to Malindi. Through village evangelism and personal encounters, the Lord revealed the depth of spiritual hunger in the community and reignited my passion for this region.
Today, I serve alongside Grace Around the World and She Stands Ministries, supporting pastors, ministry programming, discipleship communication, and media outreach. My calling is to help strengthen the Church, reach youth through sports and discipleship, and share the hope of Jesus Christ with those who are ready to receive Him.
