CITAM MISSIONS & OUTREACH <strong>REPORT</strong><br />
Here I Am Lord, Send Me!<br />
Rev. Patrick Kuchio<br />
Head of Missions<br />
Frontier Missions<br />
Marsabit<br />
After laboring in Northern Kenya for a period of time,<br />
it was a great joy to commission two indigenous<br />
Pastors: Pastor Benedict Duba (Borana Community)<br />
and Pastor John Hirbo (Burjii Community). The<br />
two, with the assistance of CITAM Missions had<br />
successfully completed their BA in theological<br />
training and induction in CITAM. This is in line with<br />
our Missions objective in capacity building and<br />
leadership development in our target communities.<br />
Both Benedict & John are serving in Marsabit in<br />
CITAM Gororukesa & CITAM Mataarba respectively.<br />
A major highlight included a successful leaders and<br />
peace conference sponsored by CITAM and other<br />
stake holders including the county government. 42<br />
people gave their lives to Christ and many were set<br />
free from demonic oppression as others were healed<br />
both spiritually and physically.<br />
Olturot<br />
For the first time in Olturot, there was a major<br />
evangelistic Campaign. This included open air<br />
crusade, Jesus film and moonlight ministries. This<br />
culminated with DVBS in where more than 200<br />
children attended for four days. 10 people gave their<br />
lives to Christ.<br />
After many failed attempts, we managed to<br />
successfully plant 40 trees in 2014.<br />

transformation and breakthroughs. Among the<br />
change was the Sabbatical leave for Rev. John<br />
Mwangi Ndegwa and Rev. Wandii taking over the<br />
leadership of the mission station. It was not easy for<br />
the community to understand the transition which<br />
was happening for the first time, nevertheless the<br />
church witnessed growth in the midst of spiritual,<br />
physical and leadership challenges. 12 people who<br />
were among those who got saved went through<br />
waters of baptism after several weeks of training. We<br />
continued to engage in Manyatta outreach, sports<br />
evangelism and for the first time the church youth<br />
made a drama presentation. The church numbers<br />
which had drastically dropped have now increased<br />
with an average of 110 people.<br />
Loiyangalani<br />
There was a successful medical camp in Loiyangalani<br />
where a dentist, an Ophthalmologist (eye doctor)<br />
and two clinical officers cum missionaries served<br />
over 350 members of the Elmolo community. Elmolo<br />
lives at the shores of Lake Turkana and their diet is<br />
mainly fish. Due to lack of balanced diet, they have<br />
