CITAM NAKURU REPORT

It was a year of being equipped by
the Word in order to be empowered
by the Spirit
Rev. Anthony Makena
Senior Pastor
Preamble
We began the year 2015 with a very clear conviction
from the Lord, that there was a need to deepen
our faith, solidify our confidence and embolden our
understanding of His ways. The platform for this
to happen was by giving attention to the Word, so
that the Holy Spirit could work with that Word. We
therefore embarked in digging the ancient wells of
the Word. We witnessed amazing growth in spiritual
deepening; a move of God by His Spirit and a great
appreciation of His ways which often times are
significantly different from ours. To Him therefore
be the glory, for indeed it was His doing which was
marvelous in our sight.
As we began the year, we prayerfully believed God to
help us establish the following:
• An early Sunday morning Intercessory prayer
hour.
• A mid – week prayer service.
• A first watch every end of the quarter.
• Establish the FaCE ministry.
• Establish a counseling ministry.
• Re – launch the men ministry.
• Revamp the Youth ministry.
• Increase the enrolment in the academy.
• A worship experience once at the end of
every quarter.
By His grace the Lord made possible and for which
we are truly grateful, and do express our appreciation
to everyone who either prayed or was a participant to
make it happen.
Children’s & Youth Ministry
The children ministry continued to reach out to 5
public primary schools through the P.P.I program
and did well during the DVBS. We participated in the
children’s prayer day and various training sessions
were conducted to equip the teachers and the
children church workers. The Junior Safari was a
great success and significant growth was registered
in the ministry.
The HOPES program which graduates from children
ministry to the Youth ministry had 16 students who
were received by the by the youth pastor and the
HOD of the ministry.
For the Youth, we had a one week convention
dubbed “CITAM Nakuru Youth Power Convention
held between the 13th to the 19th April. It culminated
with the re-launch of the youth ministry and the first
youth emphasis service on the Sunday 19th April
2015, 8.00am to 10.00am This service
has continued to be a great inspiration
to the youth and young at heart, and
especially the Youth Konnect which
takes place between 10.30 am to
12.30 pm. This is a discipleship
program that is aimed at
equipping the youth with the
