CITAM KISERIAN <strong>REPORT</strong><br />

We thank the Lord for His continued<br />

strength, grace, mercy and love<br />

upon us<br />

Rev. Matthew Keli<br />

Senior Pastor<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 />
