CITAM CED <strong>REPORT</strong><br />

Indeed, I can confidently say that<br />

we unblocked the ancient wells,<br />

and we are now enjoying a fresh<br />

flow of wells in our spiritual lives<br />

Rev. Robin Mulunda<br />

CED Coordinator<br />

Introduction<br />

What an amazing year we had! <strong>2015</strong> was a year<br />

of quite significant achievements in the CED<br />

department, especially as relates to our flagship<br />

projects: The Safari and the CAMP Program. Indeed,<br />

I can confidently say that we unblocked the ancient<br />

wells, and we are now enjoying a fresh flow of wells<br />

in our spiritual lives.<br />

The Safari Finally kicked off!<br />

When we conceived the idea of the Safari as a<br />

pathway to growth and transformation a few years<br />

ago, we did not anticipate how much it would take<br />

us to birth it safely. After spending about 2 years to<br />

develop, it was a great joy to see The Safari kick off<br />

properly in all the assemblies in <strong>2015</strong>. Our CITAM<br />

mission is truly being pursued through the Safari and<br />

other CED programs: To know God and make Him<br />

known through evangelism and discipleship.<br />

By God’s Grace, we were able to roll out the Enter<br />

stage of the Safari for both adults and the older<br />

children (10years & above). We were also able to run<br />

the Encounter stage part 1 for adults and completed<br />

the development of the Safari Junior materials for all<br />

age groups. The implementation of the Safari has<br />

inspired people’s personal daily walk with God, and<br />

added new impetus in the life of small groups. We<br />

have heard of very great testimonies of Salvation,<br />

revival, healings, restoration and providence as<br />

people dared to test God in various ways learnt in<br />

the Safari sessions.<br />

Beyond our circles, The Safari has been lauded as<br />

a great discipleship initiative and was exhibited as<br />

an example to follow in 2 International discipleship<br />

conferences in <strong>2015</strong> alone: first at the Continental<br />

discipleship conference in Addis Ababa, and then<br />

at the IDMC conference in Singapore. In both<br />

conferences, a slot was given in the plenary for us to<br />

share about The Safari (Rev Robin Mulunda shared<br />

in Addis and Rev Jacob Kimathi in Singapore).<br />

Continental Discipleship Conference<br />

In pursuit of partnership and networking in<br />

discipleship, the Head of CED led a team of 100<br />

delegates from CITAM and about 50 others<br />

from other churches in Kenya to the Continental<br />

Discipleship Conference held at the Africa Union<br />

headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia between<br />

the 26th & 28th Feb <strong>2015</strong>. In Addis, we joined<br />

4000 other delegates from across the world<br />

(from 28 countries) in making various<br />

resolutions. One of the key resolutions<br />

and commitment was for the Church<br />

in Africa to make discipleship the<br />

primary core business of the<br />

Church. Rev Robin Mulunda<br />
