If God be for us, who can be
against us?”
Romans 8:31

Senior Pastor
Preamble
2015 has been an exciting year for CITAM Athi
River-a year in which we consolidated the gains we
made in 2014 and broadened our programs and
activities to cater for the needs of our members.
We ministered to an average of 800 people every
Sunday, 450 adults, 300 children and 60 teenagers.
When schools were closed, the number of teenagers
increased to around 120. We received an average of
35 visitors per month, some of whom choose to stay
on. In May the church was officially launched in a
colourful occasion graced by our presiding Bishop,
the deputy Bishop, a vast array of CITAM leaders,
family and friends.
2015 was also a year of growth in our infrastructure:
the Sunday school block and the Ablution block
were completed and commissioned; work on the
Administration block also started. We are eager to
shift our offices from Sidai Village to the new block in
February 2016.
We celebrate our dedicated volunteers who average
around 180. We are thankful to God for the following
achievements:
Children’s Ministry
The average attendance has grown to 300 per Sunday.
We hosted 590 children for DVBS, some came from
two Children’s homes in our neighbourhood and one
group came all the way from Machakos town. 97
children participated in the African Children Prayer
Day where they prayed for families, the Church and
the nations of Africa; 15 of them committed their
lives to Christ. Children ages 10 and above
successfully completed The Enter stage
of The Safari discipleship program.
12 children attended the HOPES
program which we organized in
collaboration with CITAM Karen.
