CITAM ELDORET REPORT 19 Financial Giving & Infrastructure Development The congregation was commended by the Deacon Board for having doubled the financial giving from the previous year. And in a bid to be prudent in the use of our CITAM resources, the Deacon Board graciously approved the construction of a prefab office block within our premises where the staff has now settled down. Youth Ministry The High-schoolers (Teens) had weekly meetings during the second service and the Crossroaders (Campus) met for fellowship on a monthly basis every third Sunday of the month. A joint full day hike for both Teens and Crossroaders to the scenic Kerio escarpment attracted 30 young people who had a very memorable day. We hosted the joint CITAM Western Zone Teens camp from in December 2015 with an attendance of 120 teens. We managed to send 20 youth to the Teens Connect during the annual CITAM Convention. Worship and Prayer Children’s Ministry The DVBS 2016 attracted 1840 children and 129 workers. In November the assembly hosted the Africa Children prayer day in Eldoret with 200 children in attendance. The HOPES Camp attracted 23 Standard eight graduates who were greatly impacted and empowered for high school. The music ministry organized three worship experiences in the course of the year one of which was dubbed Shabach that we co-hosted at International Vision Centre, Eldoret. Timothy Kaberia, Florence Mureithi and Evelyn Wanjiru were some of the music artists that ministered in these worship experiences. We held weekly Wednesday evening prayer meetings, alternate bimonthly 1st Watch and Overnight prayer services in which we experienced great encounters with God. Fellowship and Care The Safari groups continued to grow in numbers. We had 35 groups at the end of the year. In these groups most of the social, economic and visitation needs of the members were met. We faced several bereavements including one of the key leaders Bro Gordon Achar who passed on in April and other members who lost close members of their families. The whole assembly was united in standing with the bereaved and this brought growth during the year as the community was attracted by the spirit of care and concern displayed during those times of grief. The Women’s Ministry held monthly meetings, appreciated the pastors and sent a delegation of 60 delegates to the one-day CITAM CITAM Annual Report and Financial Statements | 2015
