(Rev.) and Simeon, (Rev.) came to aid with the Tumutumu mission. It was in this year also that the first Kikuyu pastor was ordained. Tumutumu was established in 1908 by Rev. Henry Scott and Dr. John Arthur and is situated in the Central Highlands of Kenya, 130km north of Nairobi. The mission was set up as a clinic but soon expanded to include a school and church serving the Kikuyu population indigenous to the region.
