The Changing Face Of Christ Faith Evangelical Church

By Sharon White


God has sent a special messenger to the people of Homa Bay for almost a decade now. This is through Christ Faith Evangelical Church that is now under Pastor David Oloo. After years of existence, it is transforming into Good Shepherd House of Worship, a name that featured prominently during the foundation phase of this place of worship.

The current church is constructed on Asego Hills in Homa Bay, a city in the western region of Kenya. The entire piece of land is estimated to be 50ft by 100ft. The dream of constructing the chapel was made a reality through the support of a well wisher and church member from America. He was thankful to God for blessing his business and thus dedicated his profits to the completion of this building. The structure has been instrumental in transforming the lives of people in the area.

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.

As the shepherds were laying the foundation, there was a feeling that it should be named a House of Worship. However, at the moment, this was not possible. Five years later, the shepherds have heeded to the call to rename it Good Shepherd House of Worship. This change has been received well by the congregation that feels that the Lord is doing a new thing in their lives through the new tag.

The current minister is a youthful man called Pastor David Oloo. He took over the work from Bishop Nashon who is also his father and mentor. Under the guidance of the bishop, Pastor David has served for years and risen to the rank of Senior Pastor. The responsibility to steer this ministry to the next level lies in the hands of the youthful minister.

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.

At the beginning, the orphanage was a small family whose needs were easy to meet. The children have grown and require more than food to eat, cloths and a place to sleep. Those in vocational training centers require facilitation to guarantee a better future. The pastor and other shepherds within this ministry are overstretched.

It is at The Homa Bay Orphans Life Resurrection Center that a lot of people have found a place to call home and be hopeful. The center also offers spiritual nourishment to the children and the neighboring community. It is from the support of well wishers that this has been made possible. This ministry has also been engaging in outreach programs aimed at delivering the message of God to neighboring villages through crusades. Everyone has a part to play in ensuring that the people of this place have the best experience with God.
