The Pallisers and the recently graduated McLains moved into the first missionary home in Nairobi South, and a branch office was opened on February 1, 1963. At that time, there were about 150 publishers in Kenya and Uganda, requiring little work in the office, perhaps one or two days per week. A small room, eight by ten feet [2.5 by 3 m], in the apartment sufficed as an office.

But soon other countries, such as Tanzania and Ethiopia, came under the direction of the Kenya branch, more than doubling the work. Arrangements were made to have registered marriage officers among the brothers. Circuit assemblies were organized in public halls or schools, and Brother Henschel visited and gave needed guidance on how to operate the new branch office.
