We thank the Lord for His continued<br />
strength, grace, mercy and love<br />
upon us<br />

<strong>2015</strong> Theme: Drinking from<br />
the source<br />
Throughout last year the gospel continued to sound<br />
forth and shape the people of Kajiado. Despite the<br />
poor road infrastructure, sparse populations, long<br />
walking distances for members to the church and<br />
cultural and traditional barriers.<br />
We thank the Lord for His continued strength, grace,<br />
mercy and love upon us as we ministered to Him and<br />
His people under the Church theme: “Drinking from<br />
the source,” (Genesis 26:18).<br />
Missions and Outreach<br />
In March we held three days crusade, Jesus films as<br />
well as one on one outreaches in partnership with<br />
two other churches in two different locations: Birika<br />
and Sholinke. 68 people came to the Lord. We also<br />
organized a medical camp that attracted 504 people<br />
from the community who came for treatment in two<br />
days. We also reached out to 3 schools around<br />
namely: Isinya Moi Girls, Olorien Boys School and<br />
Dawamu Boys School where we did discipleship.<br />
Children’s & Youth Ministry<br />
The children and youth discipleship continued well<br />
throughout the year. During the DVBS on the first<br />
day we registered the highest attendance of 1,200<br />
children ever. The numbers increased up to 1,300<br />
with 65 workers and volunteers who came to help.<br />
Our highlight was on children who missed a snack<br />
in fasting after a lesson on the same and gave after<br />
the teaching on giving. We also had a children’s<br />
prayer day with about 400 children in attendance.<br />
The children ministry culminated with a baptism of 34<br />
children who successfully completed the enter stage<br />
of the Safari discipleship manual.<br />
The youth were actively involved in worship<br />
every third Sunday of the month. They also<br />
organized 3 Keshas and also had an<br />
outreach to the neighborhood were<br />
several souls got saved. Fellowship<br />
and discipleship programs also<br />
continued throughout the<br />
