RXP Overview

Riziki Experience (RXP) is an unforgettable cultural experience for youth ages 16-18. Journey across Kenya as you build friendships with the people, witness the breathtaking countryside, and immerse yourself in African culture. As part of the Riziki Foundation, you’ll join ongoing humanitarian projects, participate in faith-filled activities with local youth and leaders, attend temple baptisms, gather daily for devotionals to strengthen testimonies, participate in an African Safari, and experience the remarkable faith of the Kenyan people. Though church-centered, RXP is not sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Made possible by Mark and Jennifer Hancock & Family.

Seeking and Finding Christ

“Every sincere seeker of Jesus Christ will find Him. . .” (Pres Nelson, Oct 2024 General Conference)
