Transforming 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 foundations of the current premises were laid on 2010 on top of Asego Hills in Homa Bay, Kenya. It stands on a plot of land that is approximately 50 by 100fts. The construction was supported by American well wishers moved by the poverty levels in the area. The people needed a place where they could have a close encounter with Christ.

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.

The idea of building a church was to provide a decent place of worship for the faithful. The Lord did not reveal that name during the foundation phase. It has taken five years to the shepherds to realize the name that suits the place best. The new name is Good Shepherd House of Worship. The people worshiping in the church have received the name positively and are positive about what the Lord is doing in their lives.

The ministry is currently under the direction of Pastor David Oloo. He is the son of Bishop Nashon, the founder of this evangelical ministry. The bishop has also worked as a mentor and teacher to Pastor David. He worked under the bishop, rising to become a Senior Pastor. He has dedicated his youth to the ministry and is doing an incredible job.

The church runs an orphanage that has been providing shelter and care to children. These are children whose parents have succumbed to the deadly AIDS scourge. Their extended families are so poverty stricken that adding an extra member will be too heavy a burden for them to bear. The pastor and fellow shepherds have therefore taken it upon themselves to provide for the children.

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.

A lot of children and families have found hope and refuge at The Homa Bay Orphans Life Resurrection Center. They consider this home as a well from where they get spiritual nourishment. It has taken the support of well wishers to get to where they are. The support has been in form of cash and kind and is transforming their lives. Other duties performed by the ministry include outreach to neighboring villages through crusades which continue to transform souls.
