2015 REPORT FINAL1
20 CITAM ELDORET REPORT WM Conference in November. Men’s Ministry met on a bimonthly basis and started a project to construct a baptismal pool for the assembly. The Young Professionals Fellowship met on a monthly basis, organized a dinner and we witnessed six of them getting married through beautiful weddings. The Married Couples Care Groups (MCCG’s) were launched and by the end of the year ten have been active. During every 5th Sunday, the Couples and Mature Singles had their fellowships which were well attended. during their National Missions Convention held at Kapsabet Girls. They hosted 50 students and their teachers as hey reached out to the neighbourhood. In July the Assembly was actively involved in the Great Eldoret Outreach, stratified evangelism collaboration between the Eldoret Gospel Ministers Fellowship and the African Evangelistic Enterprise. We hosted all the 35 international missioners in the congregants’ homes, mobilized 50 members for the outreach and made financial contribution. The entire mission brought 2000 new believers to the faith in the city. Christian Education and Discipleship CITAM Eldoret was privileged to run the Safari Enter stage as had been envisaged through 10 Cohorts of which 243 graduated thanks to the manageable numbers and availability of space. We run two other seasons of the Safari Enter stage with 30 and 15 attendants respectively. The Safari Encounter stage 1 was run during the Sunday services. An evaluation after the two Safari stages has shown significant growth in terms of involvement in the Safari groups, participation in ministries, care for one another and increase in financial giving. Evangelism and Missions The Mission and Outreach team engaged in reaching out to the schools, colleges and universities through Sunday Services, Midweek Fellowships, Rallies and Weekend challenges. In April 2015, the team worked with the KSCF (Kenya Students Christian Fellowship) Governance and Social Action Through the guidance of the Governance and Social Action team we sought to be the light and salt in the community through: an organized trade fair, a special prayer Sunday for the County leadership, a special Mashujaa day award to retired General Lazarus Sumbeiyo for exemplary Christian leadership in the market place and the construction of chain-link fence and an ablution facility for the Kipkaren Administration Police camp near the assembly. Challenges & Way Forward To facilitate growth and transformation of the assembly in 2016, there is need to complete the ablution block, provide facilities and resources for youth ministry, and also for consideration to put at least a hall to carry out the assembly’s services as we await the construction of a permanent sanctuary in the future.
