Women’s Ministry 2015 started on a very high note in line with the year’s theme “Connecting, soaring and flourishing”. We saw a great improvement on attendance and participation of ladies in various activities. Every month had unique topics. On of a kind was in May where moms, dads and young adults come together to share in challenges of raising godly families in this 21st Century. Women fellowships one with another, had opportunity to participate in mission work among other important ministry throughout the year 2015. We give glory to God. Men’s Ministry The men at Kisumu started the year with great dreams of positively impacting lives through monthly meetings and special fellowships. The Movie by Myles Munroe on Men and vision set the stage for men’s need to lead the family and church with a vision. This first meeting of the year was well attended with over 70 men praying, watching and reasoning together. The men have formed accountability teams like nyumba kumi initiative that facilitates accountability amongst the members. The men also have Tea Party fellowships where they visit homes where men and spouses are not born again with the intention of socializing and possibly evangelizing. Men carry tea during such meetings. We strongly believe if men will take their rightful place in the family, church, and society we will be able to achieve a lot.
