CITAM ELDORET <strong>REPORT</strong><br />

WM Conference in November. Men’s Ministry<br />

met on a bimonthly basis and started a project to<br />

construct a baptismal pool for the assembly. The<br />

Young Professionals Fellowship met on a monthly<br />

basis, organized a dinner and we witnessed six of<br />

them getting married through beautiful weddings.<br />

The Married Couples Care Groups (MCCG’s) were<br />

launched and by the end of the year ten have been<br />

active. During every 5th Sunday, the Couples and<br />

Mature Singles had their fellowships which were well<br />

attended.<br />

during their National Missions Convention held at<br />

Kapsabet Girls. They hosted 50 students and their<br />

teachers as hey reached out to the neighbourhood.<br />

In July the Assembly was actively involved in the Great<br />

Eldoret Outreach, stratified evangelism collaboration<br />

between the Eldoret Gospel Ministers Fellowship<br />

and the African Evangelistic Enterprise. We hosted<br />

all the 35 international missioners in the congregants’<br />

homes, mobilized 50 members for the outreach<br />

and made financial contribution. The entire mission<br />

brought 2000 new believers to the faith in the city.<br />

Christian Education and<br />

Discipleship<br />

CITAM Eldoret was privileged to run the Safari Enter<br />

stage as had been envisaged through 10 Cohorts<br />

of which 243 graduated thanks to the manageable<br />

numbers and availability of space. We run two other<br />

seasons of the Safari Enter stage with 30 and 15<br />

attendants respectively. The Safari Encounter stage<br />

1 was run during the Sunday services. An evaluation<br />

after the two Safari stages has shown significant<br />

growth in terms of involvement in the Safari groups,<br />

participation in ministries, care for one another and<br />

increase in financial giving.<br />

Evangelism and Missions<br />

The Mission and Outreach team engaged in reaching<br />

out to the schools, colleges and universities through<br />

Sunday Services, Midweek Fellowships, Rallies and<br />

Weekend challenges. In April <strong>2015</strong>, the team worked<br />

with the KSCF (Kenya Students Christian Fellowship)<br />

Governance and Social Action<br />

Through the guidance of the Governance and Social<br />

Action team we sought to be the light and salt in the<br />

community through: an organized trade fair, a special<br />

prayer Sunday for the County leadership, a special<br />

Mashujaa day award to retired General Lazarus<br />

Sumbeiyo for exemplary Christian leadership in the<br />

market place and the construction of chain-link fence<br />

and an ablution facility for the Kipkaren Administration<br />

Police camp near the assembly.<br />

Challenges & Way Forward<br />

To facilitate growth and transformation of the<br />

assembly in 2016, there is need to complete the<br />

ablution block, provide facilities and resources for<br />

youth ministry, and also for consideration to put at<br />

least a hall to carry out the assembly’s services as<br />

we await the construction of a permanent sanctuary<br />

in the future.<br />
