well received by the community. Another highlight is<br />
the water baptism where 21 converts were baptized<br />
after a thorough teaching on the same.<br />
Archers Post<br />
Tree farming in Olturot<br />
is attributed to the insecurity which made people to<br />
move to areas deemed secure and also the fact that<br />
transformation of the adults who are deep rooted in<br />
their culture has not been easy.<br />
International Missions<br />
Baptism in Lake Turkana<br />
Our missions’ station at Archers Post became the<br />
biblical “Cities of refuge” as affected communities<br />
sought refuge from their enemies during the tribal<br />
clashes that rocked the greater Isiolo County.<br />
Other outreach programs included sports evangelism<br />
for the junior & senior Morans. DVBS brought together<br />
about 600 children from Archers Post and its vicinity.<br />
32 children aged from 9-13 got an opportunity<br />
to visit CITAM Karen during DVBS and went back<br />
transformed. For the first time, the Samburu &<br />
Turkana children participated in the Global Day of<br />
prayer. Seven teens went through the CITAM HOPES<br />
camp. These teens recorded improved performance<br />
in the KCPE results with the first attaining 320marks<br />
and the last 248 Marks.<br />
It is worth noting that these programs and others not<br />
mentioned led to the increase of church and mainly<br />

church (Hope Class), ages 4 to 8 grew from 80<br />
to 150 children, (Faith Class), ages 9 to 13 years)<br />
grew from 30 to 80 and the youths from 40 to 90.<br />

CITAM USA<br />
Last year began on a high note with the mobilization<br />
of the church towards the official dedication of<br />
Sunday services of CITAM USA. The colorful event<br />
attended by a leadership delegation and members<br />
from across CITAM took place on 5th of April. The<br />
weekly attendance services average about 100<br />
adults and, children with the volunteer base growing<br />
in leaps and bounds.<br />
CITAM Namibia<br />
Pastor Paul and Ruth Njoroge were commissioned<br />
at CITAM Thika Road as lead Missionary Pastor<br />
in Namibia. We continue to trust God for relevant<br />
immigration documents for the Pastor and his family.<br />
The church in Namibia went through a transition<br />
which saw Pst. Nyamu leave for wider ministry<br />
and Pst. Njoroge assume leadership towards<br />
the end of last year. We thank God that<br />
CITAM Namibia is now fully registered.<br />
Currently, there is one bible study<br />
group that meets in the pastors’<br />
house.<br />
