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.
In 2010 through a generous American supporter, the church was able to buy some land in Homa Bay. By 2011 the building was finished. Today the facility is standing and has a capacity of six hundred. The anonymous American donor continues to support the church by donating profits from her business.
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.
Bishop Nashon Oloo worked with his son, David, to build the orphanage and is known for his work in the community. The Oloos and the Good Shepard Ministries have similar practices and beliefs that you would find in any Western Christian congregation. The bible is the basis of their faith and the belief that it is the word of God. They believe that Jesus is their savior who died to atone for the sins of mankind. It is their practice to be baptized with full body immersion into the water.
On the website there is a recommendation to read a book that helps bridge the cultural gap between Africans and the Westerners who come to Africa to help build orphanages and spread the Christian word of God. The book is about money and how differently the two cultures approach and handle it. The different perspectives can cause misunderstandings, even when everyone has good intentions.
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.
To visit Kisumu would be a wonderful opportunity to get to know the people, the land and the ministries. There is nothing like this land and this culture in America. The pictures of Lake Victoria give you an idea of what it would be like to see the sunset in Kisumu. Pastor Oloo is thankful for all these blessings.
