Rural Service Programme {RSP} can be traced back to the Lords Acre founded by Lord Morris in 1962. Lord Morris was a Quaker missionary who like it is in the traditional Quaker Church doctrine lived and practiced the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ of preaching, teaching, healing and empowering the flock.

The East African Yearly Meeting of Friends Church at Kaimosi pursued the Lords Acre dream even after the departure of Lord Morris. In 1962, the church at Kaimosi founded the Rural Service Program me [RSP] a resemblance of the Lords Acre. This was to be made a service department of the church. RSP aimed and still aims to support church members to put up church infrastructure called meeting Houses by the Quakers; through the Lords Acre. The Lords acre project covered 5,149.8sq.kilometres.

RSP is situated at Kumasi mission station. All RSP activities are co-ordinated from here as the Head Offices.

The present RSP started as an agricultural programme pegged on the Lords Acre. From 1963, the government of Kenya through distribution of hybreed seed supported the programme and continues to support through CDF and Provincial Administration cooperation.

RSP is now an integrated project serving communities {households} of over 2m.kenyans in western Kenya primarily in Vihiga county, Kakamega county Kisii county Bungoma county and Trans Nzoia county.

The programme offers interventions in areas of poverty through agricultural support, appropriate technology, health care and social integration through counseling, training and accompanying.

In this endeavor RSP is supported by donors, partners, the Church and the communities.
