2015 Theme
2015 started with great anticipation and desire for
spiritual, numerical and commitment growth to the
work of ministry. In January we launched our theme
‘’ENGAGE, SOAR AND BLOSSOM’’ drawn from
Isaiah 40: 29-31.The chosen theme had been a great
motivation and propelled the believers to engage in
the things of God, to soar to greater altitude in their
walk with the Lord and to blossom.
Children’s Ministry
Our 2015 vision in Sunday school was: committed
children doing great things and excelling for the Lord
Jesus Christ. We began the year 2015 with 427
children and 45 teachers and we thank God. Children
were ministered to through the programs that CITAM
has put in place. Apart from teaching lessons in
class on Sunday, all the children participated in an
impacting Easter Cantata that we held in April. The
DVBS recorded 1300 children where over 300 ages
10+ gave their lives to Christ Jesus. Africa Children’s
day brought 1465 children out of which 600 got
saved. The Hopes camp that was done in Mudasa
brought together 87 Children. The junior Enter stage
was very successful and 73 children were discipled,
baptized and taken into junior membership.
Youth Ministry
The youth ministry worked well under the following
active constituents: High Schoolers, Ex-cans,
Crossroads, Pacesetters (YP’s)
These groups run the first service and the Teens’
service. They have been ardently involved in the real
life of the church at large.
Their input towards the fulfillment of the church
mission can be accounted for. By the grace of God
their ministry outreach arm has been very actively
involved in high school ministry in collaboration with
the KSCF Kisumu. Moreover, through good will, they
have established CU service ministry at least monthly
to schools such as: Kisumu Girls, Chavakali Boys,
Nyakach Girls and Maseno School. In addition,
with an aim to explore teens’ challenges in the 21st
Century (Generation Y), they hosted a High schools
CU officials and patrons breakfast.
Kisumu Rugby Ministry
2015 was indeed a year of unblocking the
ancient wells. In collaboration with the
CITAM Mission’s department, the
youth ministry began a Rugby club
which was launched in June 26th
by the CEO of Kenya Rugby
Union CITAM Mission’s office.
