CITAM NGONG <strong>REPORT</strong><br />

33<br />

Our desire in 2016 is to increase<br />

and intensify our outreach efforts<br />

with the aim of winning our<br />

catchment area for Jesus<br />

Rev. Jesse Mwai<br />

Senior Pastor<br />

Preamble<br />

Our <strong>2015</strong> theme at CITAM Ngong was “Unblocking<br />

the Ancient wells”. It was an exciting year as we<br />

pursued this theme together as a congregation. We<br />

experienced tremendous growth in all aspects and<br />

we are grateful to God for his blessings on us.<br />

Our numerical growth in <strong>2015</strong> was unprecedented in<br />

all the years the church has been in existence. We<br />

had two membership intakes and for the first time,<br />

we had more than one hundred people coming into<br />

membership. As a result of the numerical growth,<br />

parking has become quite a challenge for us and the<br />

church facilities are greatly stretched. We cannot wait<br />

for the sanctuary to be completed.<br />

Our income also increased exponentially during the<br />

year and we saw great liberality among our members.<br />

We received into our pastoral team, Rev. Michael<br />

Wambua who joined us as the Deputy senior pastor.<br />

Our children’s pastor, Rev. Judy Anabwani went<br />

through health challenges that saw her go to India<br />

for surgery and we thank God that He has continued<br />

healing her.<br />

Our building project faced some challenges but we are<br />

still hopeful that the sanctuary will be completed soon.<br />

Our desire in 2016 is to increase and intensify<br />

our outreach efforts with the aim of winning our<br />

catchment area for Jesus.<br />

Highlights in Summary<br />

• In our records, approximately 336<br />

people visited our church for<br />

the first time in <strong>2015</strong>.<br />
