The Transformation Of Christ Faith Evangelical Church

By Sharon White


God has been speaking to the people of Homa Bay through a special messenger. Christ Faith Evangelical Church under the stewardship of Pastor David Oloo has been serving the lakeside town for over a decade now. God has prompted this ministry through its shepherds to take on a new name. It is now being referred to as Good Shepherd House of Worship.

The foundations of the current premises were laid on 2010 on top of Asego Hills in Homa Bay, Kenya. It stands on a plot of land that is approximately 50 by 100fts. The construction was supported by American well wishers moved by the poverty levels in the area. The people needed a place where they could have a close encounter with Christ.

The current chapel was completed in 2011 and has a capacity of more than 600 people. It provides a perfect place for the locals to meet Christ in their afflictions. With the support of well wishers, God has found a dwelling place in Homa Bay.

The shepherds wanted to provide a decent place for the faithful to worship. The name was not clear from the beginning, explaining why they settled for the evangelical ministry, a name that has served them since foundation. At the prompt of the voice of God, this name has been changed to Good Shepherd House of Worship. The faithful are elated and ready for the new encounter with God.

The ministry is currently under the direction of Pastor David Oloo. He is the son of Bishop Nashon, the founder of this evangelical ministry. The bishop has also worked as a mentor and teacher to Pastor David. He worked under the bishop, rising to become a Senior Pastor. He has dedicated his youth to the ministry and is doing an incredible job.

The ministry also runs an orphanage that takes in children whose parents have passed on due to the ravages of AIDS. This home has been serving the community for years now. It was founded upon realization that the extended families that would have adopted these children were too poverty stricken to shoulder an extra burden. The shepherds in the ministry took up the responsibility.

The needs of this family that was originally small and manageable have increased. The children have grown and now require more than food, shelter and cloths. They also require a way to guarantee a better future through quality education. Some have already joined vocational institutions to curve a better future for them and their families. All these are needs that require a huge muscle in terms of resources.

The Homa Bay Orphans Life Resurrection Center has acted as a source of hope for many children and their families. The center has provided spiritual guidance beyond basic needs. This has been made possible through the support of well wishers from different parts of the world. The contributions have been coming both in cash and kind. Beyond the children and the localized house of worship, the ministry reaches out to people in the villages through crusades. It has remained a blessing to this neighborhood and everyone associated with it.
