Luke & Tonya Shelby

Serving in Kenya, Africa

The Shelby Family have been church planting missionaries in Kenya since June of 1997, when they started deputation. They finished deputation and were on the field by April of 1999, when they started their ministry in Kenya.
Luke and Tonya Shelby share the blessing of coming from Christian homes and from families that are dedicated to the Lord’s work; and they are very supportive of their children being on the mission field. Luke was saved in October of 1981, at the age of 7, while Tonya was saved under her dad’s preaching at the age of 15.

The Testimony of Abel

Then I was very young my parents placed me under the tutelage of Islamic priests. When I went to them I went along with two dromedary milk cows. While I stayed with them I did not get very much to eat, just a little millet gruel or something. Whenever I became old enough to understand what was going on, I began to try to flee from these priests. I would run back towards home; many times they would follow me and catch me at the well. They would tie me up and beat me. They would carry me back to their encampment. I gained a better general understanding of things, and then I just refused to try and learn anymore. So I left the Quranic school altogether.
