The city of Kisumu is in Kenya, East Africa. It is the home of the Good Shepard Ministries led by Pastor David Oloo. Not too far away is the house of worship in Homa Bay, Kenya. The two cities that sit on the shores of Lake Victoria are about seventy miles from one another by land. If you take the Lake Victoria route the distance is cut in half to about thirty five miles. Christ Faith Evangelical Church was the former name of the house of worship, which is now named the Good Shepard House of Worship. David Oloo was the senior pastor for the Christ Faith church and continues to serve in that capacity for the Good Shepard church.
Pastor Oloo worked diligently from 2005 to 2008 to establish an orphanage in Homa Bay for twenty five children. Many of the children became orphans after their parents passed away from AIDS. Thanks to the Pastor and his associates these innocent children now have safe, Christian homes. The continued funding for the orphanage has since changed hands, but the work continues.
The church was able to purchase a plot of land in Homa Bay in 2010 thanks to the generosity of an American member. As with any true act of charity, the donor is not named. The building was completed in 2011. The facility can house up to six hundred people for services. The American benefactor continues to donate proceeds from her business to fund the church.
Kisumu is a beautiful port city with a population a little over four hundred thousand. There are several of points of interest to attract tourists to the city of Kisumu. There is an Impala Sanctuary, home to impalas and other animals indigenous to the area. The city is environmentally focused and features the Dunga Beach and wetlands. The Kisumu Museum is illustrative and most informative regarding the culture and history of the city.
David Oloo and his father Bishop Nashon Oloo have a history of working to benefit children through their ministries. The beliefs of the Good Shepard Ministries are bible based affirming that the bible is the true word of God. They believe that Jesus was the God manifested in the flesh who came to earth and died to atone for the sins of man. Their Baptism is by full immersion into water. These beliefs and these practices can be found in most Christian based ministries in America.
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.
Pastor Oloo credits all achievements to God. Good ministers acknowledge that God is the source of their inspiration and accomplishments. The Pastor is known for his energetic work on behalf of children and the community.
If you have the opportunity to visit the lovely port city of Kisumu, take the time to visit the ministries of David Oloo and the Good Shepard House of Worship. The beauty of the land and its people will inspire you. Both Kisumu and Homa Bay are on the shores of Lake Victoria, and the views are breathtaking. David Oloo would say that the blessings of God are bountiful.
