Youth Ministry
We started the year with an innovative three month
program dubbed 3D (determined, dedicated and
disciplined) that emphasizes teachings on spiritual
formation, leadership and social lifeskills for our
ex-candidates. There was a marked growth in
the number of study groups formed among the
Youth as they went through the Safari discipleship
program. This had a further effect of building sense
of community and responsibility for one another.
Our youth have grown in their passion for prayer.
They organized three (3) overnight prayer meetings
in the year which have had an attendance of over
500 youth. Another highlight is our annual Youth
leadership forum which drew over 200 young people
who confessed having been greatly challenged
in the area of leadership. Our youth continued the
good tradition of missions to high schools from which
many students are reported to have been saved.
They also went for a mission to Archers Post in an
effort for exposure in missions among unreached
people groups. 15 young people gave their lives
to Christ during their camp in December. Our
Young Professional fellowship now meets monthly
instead of weekly and has been active in mission
to Kuwinda, an informal settlement area and Karen
C secondary school.
The men’s fellowship started with great numbers
climbing Mount Longonot for prayer. The men had
mentoring session with the young men. They also
organized a special meeting with young men from
single mums which was very well received as it
touched on a real ministry need.
Other Ministries
Every known case that required visitation and or
counseling was attended to promptly. The Golden
Edge Fellowship was re-launched as a Ministry
and it grew in numbers. Missions to Universities,
neighborhood, prison, and children’s homes were
undertaken by various groups. New believers were
followed up and given the basics of the faith. There
were many behind-the-scene works by service
ministries like flower ministry, social committee,
ushers, welcomers, Holy Communion workers,
Sunday school workers, security and various
service providers. Without them many a crisis
would have resulted.
We were grateful for the addition of Pastor Pauline
Nyawira to our pastoral team in October. Thanks are
owed to the workers, staff, pastors and leadership
who worked hard to achieve the above results.
Women’s Ministry
The ministry experienced smooth leadership
transition. Perhaps owing to the creative and
exciting programs that the ministry came up with the
attendance in WM grew significantly. The ministry
had sessions of teaching unmarried girls life skills,
preparing brides to be for married life, special
We did not forget to worship and celebrate God’s goodness
