to the weekday bible study fellowships. A total of<br />

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 />

as follows:<br />

meeting in the church and a powerful crusade<br />

schools and universities around the city.<br />

IV. County Government Prayer Breakfast - We<br />

had a Leaders breakfast in April 24th for Top<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 />

days revival meeting that was climaxed with a<br />

members who left the church for some<br />

reasons known to them.<br />
