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

schools and universities around the city.<br />

leadership of Kisumu County with objective of<br />
bringing them together to unblock the Ancient<br />
Wells of development and sensitize them on<br />
their God given responsibility in building a<br />
better Kisumu. Over 150 leaders attended<br />
the function led by Our Bishop Rev. Dr. David<br />
Oginde and The Governor of Kisumu County,<br />
H.E Jack Ranguma.<br />
V. In May-August the Ministry organized for a 5<br />

reasons known to them.<br />
