What Is a Temple Sealing?

A temple sealing is an ordinance that binds families together forever. This means that if we keep our covenants and obey God, we will live with our family again after we die. Prophets have promised that because of Jesus Christ, families can be eternal.

Nairobi Kenya Temple

  • This is the ninth temple built in Africa and the first in Kenya.

  • Church members throughout East Africa come to this temple.

  • In 1998 President Hinckley said a temple would be built someday in Kenya. This temple was announced 19 years later.
