the Church Sanctuary that were prone to flooding.
They also cleared and re-excavated sections of the
drainages to ensure easy flow of storm water, then
laid culverts over the open trenches. This helped
create about two hundred (200) additional parking
bays - we can now accommodate up to five hundred
(500) vehicles within the facility at a time.
Fellowship & Mentorship
The Men, Women and Youth Fellowships experienced
good growth during the year; the respective first
fellowships of the year were well attended, leading to
a number of new attendees during the year. Both the
Men and Women fellowships held one separate and
one joint mentorship sessions with the youth.
Missions & Outreach
A team of over seventy (70) members are actively
involved in our Outreaches to Primary (PPI) and
Secondary Schools. Currently, we are reaching
out to over twenty five (25) Primary and Secondary
Schools regularly.
In April, a total of over sixty missioners including
medics from our Assembly participated in a mission
to Chuka in partnership with: Kirieni PCEA Church
as the main host church, the County Government
Medical Staff, and the ‘Beyond Zero” Campaign -
who assisted in the ‘one day’ Medical Camp. A total
of about 450 people gave their lives to the Lord.
In December, a team of 60 missioners from the
Crossroads Fellowship (i.e. the University & College
Students Fellowship) went for a Youth Camp/Mission
at the CITAM Archers Post Mission Station. Some
of the activities carried out with the local people
during this mission include: [i] Manyatta-to-Manyatta
Evangelism; [ii] Christmas Cantata [iii] Worship
Experience [iv] Showing the Passion of the Christ
(with translation into Swahili). About 300 people from
the local community were reached with 30 giving
their life to Christ. During the Mission, various in-reach
programs were conducted towards discipling and
building up the Crossroaders in the faith, obedience
and love for Jesus Christ. Great testimonies arose
from this mission, many of which were shared in the
Assembly and on Social Media.
Prayer & Bible Study
We began the year with a time of prayer and fasting
and joined the rest of the CITAM fraternity during
other such set times. During the first half of the year,
we held a three day prayer and fasting retreat. 38
intercessors were in attendance. In the month of April,
we also had three days of congregational prayer and
fasting that was concluded with altar ministry and a
Holy Spirit emphasis series - a number of people
were baptized by the Holy Spirit for the first time and
many experienced deliverance from oppression.
From the onset of the year, we set out to enhancing
the spiritual discipline of prayer, targeting 20% of
our adult congregants attending various prayer
fellowships which include [i] Sunday Morning
Power Encounter Prayers; [ii] Sunday & Tuesday
Intercessors Prayer Fellowships; [iii] Wednesday
Prayer Service [iv] Friday end month First Watch
Service; [v] Ministry Workers Prayer Gatherings; [vi]
GT / Safari Group Prayer Gatherings – which grew
from about fifty (50) to seventy (70) active groups.
[vii] CITAM Joint Prayer Fellowships – where a team
of approximately thirty (30) consistently engage in the
prayers. Our considered estimate of the number of
congregants who connect in prayer through these
various fellowships and gatherings is approximately
one thousand (1,000) people.
Children’s Ministry
The number of Children attending every Sunday
swelled to the point where they can no longer be
contained in the classrooms assigned to them;
we have a ‘good problem’ on our hands that we
are seeking to resolve! Over one thousand (1,000)
children regularly attending our Sunday School.
During the Daily Vacation Bible School held in mid-
August, we hosted about 1,700 children. During
the Children Prayer Day held in the first week of
November, we hosted about three hundred (300)
children from our Assembly, and an approximate one
hundred (100) from the neighborhood – a total of one
hundred (100) children gave their lives to Christ. We
also hosted and graduated seventy (70) children who
went through the Highlights of Passage Experiences
program (HOPES). Fourteen (14) of these children
