Kisumu is home to the Good Shepard Ministries. Kisumu is a port city of Kenya, East Africa. The ministries also have a house of worship about seventy miles away by car in Homa Bay, Kenya. Traveling by water on Lake Victoria cuts the journey in half. The church began as Christ Faith Evangelical Church, but changed its name to the Good Shepard House of Worship, in part due to its affiliation with the ministries. Since 2007, Pastor David Oloo has served as the senior pastor.
From 2005 to 2008 Pastor Oloo and his associates worked very hard to establish the Homa Bay orphanage, home to twenty five children. Sadly, the effects of AIDS impacted many of this kids, who lost their parents to the disease. Through his work with God, the good pastor has been gratified to be able to provide a safe home for these children. The funding for the orphanage has changed, but it continues to be a source of thankfulness for David Oloo.
Through the support of an American, in 2010 the church was able to buy some land in Homa Bay and build its house of worship. Amazingly, the building was finished by 2011. The generous benefactor continues to contribute to the church, which can accommodate six hundred of the faithful for services.
Kisumu is a port city, culturally rich and naturally beautiful. The population is slightly more than four hundred thousand. Kisumu has a fascinating museum and it is a great way to learn about the history and the culture of the area. It has an impala sanctuary, which is also home to other animals such as hippos and cheetahs that are native to the Kenya. The city has raised the environmental awareness and prides itself on preserving the papyrus wetlands around Dunga Beach.
In the community, David Oloo is well known for his work to benefit children and the community. His father, Bishop Nashon Oloo has worked on some projects, such as the orphanage, with Pastor Oloo. The Good Shepard Ministries share the teachings of the Christian faith as practiced in the Western hemisphere. Their Baptism is with full water immersion, and they believe firmly that the bible is the word of God.
The ministries website includes a link to some suggested reading. In their work with Westerners, the ministries came to realize there is a cultural gap between the African and the Western way of thinking about money and its management. The reading is intended to bridge that gap and reduce errors due to difficult communications and misunderstanding.
As with any humble servant of the Lord, Pastor Oloo will credit his accomplishments to the will of God. The work done in the ministries will always be guided by God and not for the glory of any one man or woman. The pastor is known for his good works and is thankful for the guidance of the Lord.
A trip to Kisumu would be an excellent adventure. Both the cities of Kisumu and Homa Bay enjoy inspiring views to Lake Victoria. The land and the people are not to be missed. The good pastor acknowledges the gifts God has given his homeland.
