God anoints a special person to complete his mission and deliver his message to every generation. This is what God has done with Pastor David Oloo. He has called him for the people of Homa Bay in Kenya. He draws strength from the message of the second greatest commandment which instructs Christians to love their neighbors as they love themselves.
David obeyed the call from the Lord and by working hard, he established an orphanage gradually between 2005 and 2008. The aim of the orphanage was to take in children whose parents had succumbed to HIV/AIDS. He took guidance from his father, Bishop Nashon when he began working with a group of fifteen orphans. Over time, a growing number of orphans in the area has made it inevitable to expand the home.
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 given up his youth to serve the orphans and his ministry. Having given his all to the children and the ministry, his strength and resources are also overstretched. He learnt ministry and has worked as a senior pastor at Christ Faith Evangelic Church. This has seen the ministry grow by leaps and bounds. This ministry is in fact in the process of transforming.
The new name referring to what was previously Christ Faith Evangelical Church is Good Shepherd House of Worship. The aim of this change is to enable the faithful to encounter Christ closely as opposed to the traditional church setting. A new phase in delivering the message of God has demanded a new name, just like Saul changed to Paul.
Homa Bay is in the western part of Kenya, a country that is endowed with ethnic and religious diversity. The people of the country are incredibly hopeful and kindhearted. Their beauty is enhanced by that of their landscape. However, it is impossible for them to experience this beauty and fully express their kindness under the burden of poverty and sickness. Pastor Oloo seeks to transform this gloom into cheers with the assistance of well wishers.
Donor funds received by the ministry in the past have been administered in a very transparent manner. The projects initiated by this servant of God have been beneficial to numerous children. Donors who found time to visit the place were very impressed by his progress. It is only through well wishers that children in Homa-Bay have come to see the God in their daily life.
