A Brief On Pastor David Oloo

By Janet Moore


God raises a servant for every generation to fulfill his will for the people. This is what He has done with Pastor David Oloo. The servant of God was called at a young age to minister to afflicted people in Homa-Bay, Kenya. His ministry work is guided by the scripture that instructs all humanity to love one another as one loves him or herself.

David has obeyed the voice of the Lord and gone forth to establish a home for orphaned children. His efforts between 2005 and 2008 resulted in a simple home that can accommodate children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Under the guidance of his father, Bishop Nashon, he has offered these children a place full of love to call home. The demand has grown over the years forcing him to expand inevitably.

With limited resources and an ever growing demand the ministry has been strained. The elder children in the home require more than food, shelter and clothing. New children are coming into the home. This has sent the care givers into a frantic search for resources to ensure that the children under their care never walk hungry or naked. The servant of God also wants to ensure that no one coming to him for assistance will return empty handed.

A lot of support is needed to provide basic needs for a family of 25 that is growing fast. Many people have committed their resources and continue support the projects at home. The burden of caring for orphans weighs down on the families that take them in, considering that some of these families are already poverty stricken. Taking in more family members only serves to burden them further.

Pastor Oloo has faithfully dedicated his youth to the ministry and especially the orphans. His strength and resources cannot meet the needs of these children yet his heart bears the greatest responsibility. Christ Faith Evangelical Church has taught him the need for service and is now in the process of transforming to serve the people better.

In an attempt to serve God and the congregation better, Christ Faith Evangelical Church has taken a new route and is being referred to as Good Shepherd House of Worship. The servants of God seek to provide a place where worshipers can encounter Christ more closely. The change in name has been inspired by the command given to Saul to become Paul.

The religious and ethnic diversity in Kenya has been viewed as a blessing. The beauty of its landscape is matched by a population that is both hopeful and kindhearted. However, this beauty fails to shine when a large number is suffering from sickness and poverty. It is upon the efforts of Pastor Oloo and well wishers to keep the smile on the faces of afflicted families and especially children.

The ministry has heavily relied on donor funding, resources whose use has been incredibly transparent. A large population has benefited through the support of this servant of God. Donors have expressed admiration of the progress and prudent management of these projects. It is through well wishers that these lives have been lifted.
